Teshuras given at Wedding of “My Encounter” Director

In connection with 28 Sivan, we are pleased to present two Teshuros that were given out at the wedding of Rabbi Yechiel Cagen, Director of JEM’s My Encounter with the Rebbe project, to the daughter of Rabbi Betzion Friedman of Kansas City last week.

The first was a 20-minute DVD preview of the next film in the Early Years series, The Early Years, Volume IV. It covers the Rebbe and Rebbetzin’s travels ahead of the Nazis in war-torn France from June of 1940 until the couple’s arrival in the US on Chof-Ches Sivan, 1941. In it are fascinating new interviews and newly discovered documents from that period. The complete film should be out for fall/winter, 2008.
