  • What a Picture

    This was a real Chasidishe, Mesiras Nefeshdike, family.
    Reb MichoelH Y”D was a true Tamim who davened and learned all his life. Sara Katzenellenbogen HY”D gave up her life to help Yidden escape from Communist Russia including our Rebetzin Chana Schneerson.
    Each of the children were shluchim par excellance.of the Rebbe.
    What a z’cus to be part of this noble Chabad family.
