Shlichus: Was it the Vision of the Alter Rebbe?

Tonight we mark the yartzheit of the first Chabad Rebbe, the Alter Rebbe.

In this unique gathering of Ontario-based shluchim, the question is brought to the table as to what was revolutionary about the leadership of the Alter Rebbe? Is the shlichus that people engage in today really in line with the goals of the founder of Chabad?

But city officials opted not to declare a snow emergency — a significant mobilization that would have, among other things, aided initial snow plowing efforts.
