Yom Kippur, 1973. Israel was suddenly attacked in the most devastating way. In the dramatic battle with Egyptian forces, many lives were lost. Following the war the Rebbe sent letters of encouragement to the wounded and to the families of the departed. A young mother whose husband perished in the war wrote to the Rebbe, asking: How can she explain this tragedy to her children? What words of comfort can she give them?

The Avner Institute would like to present this moving letter, courtesy of Rabbi Sholom Dovber Levin, chief librarian of Agudas Chasidei Chabad of Brooklyn. To learn more about the Rebbe visit: www.portraitofaleader.org

In the late 1950s, Rabbi Benyomin Levin of Kfar Chabad, Israel – a cantor by profession and a teacher in the Chabad school in Jaffa – received a letter from the Rebbe requesting that he organize a school choir—which he promptly did.
