Weekly Photos: From Days Gone By

Crownheights.info and Lubavitch Archives present these two vintage photos from a wedding in Crown Heights. Can you identify those dancing in the pictures? At whose wedding were these pictures taken?

Answer to last week’s photo in the extended article

Answer to last week’s photo:

Around Shavuos of 1949, Israeli Chief Rabbi Yitzhak HaLevi Herzog visited the United States.

He went into Yechidus with the Friediker Rebbe several times. Before he left, Rabbi Yaakov Yehudah ā€œJJā€ Hecht and several children from the Released Time program presented him and his wife with a cake and flowers.

It seems that Rabbi Herzog delivered a message to the children and they had come to thank him and wish him farewell.

The cake reads:

Chief Rabbi and [Sara] Herzog
