Who was 770’s first Official Photographer?
In the later years, photographers snapping shots of the Rebbe became a routine fixture in 770. In fact, there was initially much opposition to the practice, as related below. Yitzchak Berez, the first individual to regularly photograph the Rebbe, was born in Poland, and then made aliya (Emigrated) to Israel in 1947. His photographs are well known, with a portfolio including a famous photograph of Ben Gurion announcing the founding of the State of Israel, and several photos of the Adolf Eichmann trial. It’s an excerpt from the new book on the Rebbe “The Rebbe Inspiring a Generation”, www.inspiringageneration.com
Mr. Berez relates:
“In 1971, Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky invited my son and me to a farbrengen (Chassidic gathering) with the Rebbe in 770. When I arrived at 770, the room was filled to capacity with hundreds of Chassidim, waiting for the Rebbe to arrive. One of the Chassidim told me that the Rebbe normally entered the shul from the door located at the rear of the room. I immediately proceeded there to wait for the Rebbe.
