World leaders; statesmen; great rabbis; artists; business leaders: the roster of well-known personalities who interacted with the Rebbe is a veritable Who's Who. To some the Rebbe corresponded in writing, others came to the Rebbe for a private audience; still others received the Rebbe's blessing and advice at a brief encounter on Sundays when the Rebbe distributed dollars to be given to charity. In honor of Yud Aleph Nissan, the Rebbe's Birthday, I am happy to present a few glimpses into these interactions.

Bakers at D&T Shmura bakery in Crown Heights fashion matzoh in the most traditional way. It's round, not square, the way it was made in ancient times.

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn — Passover will have yet more meaning this year for Shirley Levy, who came from Caracas, Venezuela, to Crown Heights to learn about Judaism.

By the time the holiday begins at sundown Saturday, Levy, 25, will have learned how to properly remove all yeast products from her home and how hand matzoh is correctly made within 18 minutes so there is no chance for it to rise.

MORRISTOWN, NJ — This June, it will be 10 years since Yaakov Parisi, 60, was born.

Before that, Yaakov, the Hassidic Jew, the citizen of two countries, didn't exist. In his place was a Christian pastor leading a life different in many ways from that Parisi knows now.
