On Thursday evening, following dinner, the Rebbe’s study in 770 and home he shared with the Rebbetzin on President Street were opened for the Shluchos to visit, after which they attended a meaningful Farbrengen.
After a moment Rabbi Hodakov continued, “You should realize, the Rebbe is busy with saving lives. People are constantly asking him if they should have an operation and which doctor they should use etc. these are matters of life and death. So now you want the Rebbe to stop that and edit your transcriptions?!”

This week, as we read in the Torah Parshas Yisro, we present a letter from the Rebbe discussing the deeper significance of the Ten Commandments – the connection between the profound principle of monotheism contained in the first two commandments and the apparently simple and obvious injunctions of the last few commandments.
