Op-Ed – The Rebbe’s Will

People I speak to, feel lost and perplexed.

How can we be left high and dry, years after Gimml Tammuz?

Many of us can remember when, we had a question in our life, we turned to the Rebbe for anything and we got clear guidance that we knew to follow to the letter.

After the stroke, a nod of the head was a yes or a no.

But since the Rebbes passing, many of our communities, are lacking, clear unequivocal guidance and leadership, in our day-to-day life.

Contrary to popular knowledge, The Rebbe DID leave a will, a very public verbal will. I’m not referring to the financial or administrative succession, I’m referring to the will that the Rebbe left us, his Chassidim.
