Minnesota’s Shliach’s 85th Birthday in New York
For many years, the Rebbe granted yechidus to those celebrating a birthday. The exception was for birthdays that fell at the end or beginning of Tishrei. Since Rabbi Zeilingold’s birthday was shortly before Rosh Hashanah, as a bachur in the 1950s he was told that he would need to wait for his yechidus.
