Students and rabbis from Chicago’s close-knit Lubavitch community arrive at Union Station for a ceremony marking 70 years since the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory, visited the city.

Danny Altschul went down to Union Station in Chicago yesterday to commemorate an historic event that took place 70 years ago. When the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory, stepped onto the platform on Jan. 25, 1942 to begin a week-long trip focused on inspiring and strengthening the local Jewish community and its commitment to Jewish education, thousands greeted him.

The youngest Zwiebel—he was yet to be named—was about to go through one of Judaism’s most sacred rituals, the bris milah, more commonly known as circumcision.
