Last week at a Chof Cheshvan Lchaim-Farbrengen, I had the privilege of sitting with Rabbi Ephraim Piekarski, a well known Chosid and Tamid Chochom here in Crown Heights. We had a very nice pleasant warm Chasidisher Farbrengen, Baalei-Batim style.
After a few Lchaim’s Rabbi Piekarski announced that he’s on a high, he is very inspired by what he witnessed in the last few hours.

Let's see... Aleph... Hey... Gimmel... uh, no, that's not right. The Gimmel comes before the Hey and after the Aleph. Or is it the Aleph comes before the Gimmel, but farther away from the Hey?
Coming Soon – A great Chanukah gift!

The late Bobover Rebbe is said to have been sitting on an airplane in the late 1950s, next to the famous playwright Arthur Miller.
Upon observing the care and reverence with which the Bobover Rebbe was escorted through the airport and settled into his seat by his young protégés – how they kept checking on his well-being and doting over him – Miller turned to the Rebbe and asked: “Rabbi, how come when I, a pillar of secular knowledge, lecture at a university I am treated casually, and even with disrespect by the students, while you, a teacher of an archaic tradition, are treated with utmost reverence, almost as a beloved surrogate parent, by your followers?”
The Rebbe, purportedly, smiled and replied: “It is very simple, you, a secular scholar, teach your students that they are descendants of monkeys, so when they look at you, they see someone who is one generation closer to their primitive ape past, no wonder why they treat you that way.
I, on the other hand, teach my students that they are descendants of the awesome generation who stood at Sinai and witnessed the greatest Divine revelation in history, so they consider me one generation closer to that transformational face to face encounter with the Divine, is it a wonder that they respect me?”

Photos of the The Rebbe and the Shluchim
In honor of the Kinus Hashluchim CrownHeights.info and the Avner Institute would like to present two unique photos from the Machne Israel development fund 1989. This was an opportunity for the lay leaders of Chabad institutions around the world to meet with the Rebbe. At the conclusion of these meetings the Rebbe would deliver a special talk to the Shluchim and would bless for continued success in their Shlichus.
