Photo Gallery: The Rebbe Being Mesader Kidushin

      It’s very simple: at that time there were other, much more important battles to fight. At that time it was a struggle to persuade women to cover their hair, and men to grow beards. The Rebbe made both of these conditions for his participation. The thickness of the veil, even if for the sake of argument we assume it to be important, was not on the agenda.
