NEW YORK, NY — The International Conference of Shluchos (f. representatives) concluded Sunday at the gala banquet at the New York Hilton.

And at each person’s place, the joyful faces of Rabbi Gavriel and Mrs. Rivkah Holtzberg, adorning the latest issue of Lubavitch International, smiled up at them.
As the Shluchos all gathered in the Manhattan Hilton for the Banquet the young Shluchos gathered in Beis Rivkah on Crown Street for their own Banquet. The young Shluchos sang and danced together with the councilors and friends, watched a video of the Rebbe and enjoyed a delicious dinner.

On Wednesday, February 10, 1988 (Shevat 22, 1988) the Rebbe’s wife of 59 years, Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson, passed away after a brief illness.
She had felt ill the night before and was brought to the hospital, where she requested a glass of water. After reciting the blessing “Blessed are You, G-d… by whose word all things come into being”, she returned her soul to her Maker.
An erudite and wise woman, Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka carried the mantle of her exalted position in a most humble and unpretentious fashion. Though she was the wife of a leader revered by hundreds of thousands, almost nothing was known about her until after her passing, when those who knew her felt that they could tell of her life and personality without violating her jealously guarded privacy.
