From Days Gone By: Early N’shei Chabad Convention

In this vintage photograph of one of the first N’shei Chabad conventions, c. early 1960s, Rebbetzin Chana, the Rebbe’s mother, can be seen seated on the dais to the far right. A second photo, featuring a speaker at the event, can be seen in the extended article. Can you identify anyone else in the photos?

    the lapel of speaker, 2nd picture, has a tag that might provide more identifying info of the event, date, etc.. picture is too grainy when it is enlarged, but picture is clear, and it does look like that with a magnifying glass (once printed), it should be legible
