A collection of photos from a rare meeting the Rebbe had with the prominent Israeli posek and Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, has recently been released.
Rabbi Eliyahu was serving as Chief Sephardic Rabbi of the Israel at the time and this was the last Yechidus that he had with the Rebbe, taking place in 1992.
When people found out that the Rebbe would be meeting with Rabbi Eliyahu, the news spread like wildfire, since the Rebbe had almost entirely stopped having private Yechidus nearly a decade before.
“During our four audiences, the Rebbe always sought out the merit of others. No matter the subject we were discussing, the Rebbe steered the conversation so that he could praise others,” Rabbi Eliyahu once recalled.
Following the meeting, the Rebbe escorted Rabbi Eliyahu outside.
The photos are part of a larger collection given to RebbeDrive.com, being released now in honor of the 26th anniversary of this Yechidus on 6 Cheshvan, 5752.
They were first presented in a Teshura memento for a Bar Mitzvah that also included letters from the Rebbe (download here).
Your doing so much!!!!!!
His wife has lubavitcher first cousins and he himself always visits the Ohel when he is in NY.
Can someone list all the people in the room?
I think u will find it was cheshvan 5752 corresponding to 1991
this is in the appartment of the Rebbe & Rebbetzin on the ground floor of the library building next door to 770. Logistically it would have been a huge hassle to arrange the Rebbe’s room in 5752 to host this yechidus, and it therefore took place in the dining room/library room of that appartment.
this ir the expanded back of the library were the rebbe and rebitzn would spend shabos in later years this room doubled as a makeshift office for the rebbe
I remember this, it was taken place in the Library!!
Thank you rebbe drive for making this accessible to everybody for free
We want to see the Rebbe now!
the yechidus took place next door in the rebbes library apartment
This was in the Rebbe’s Library building
On the recording you can clearly hear the Rebbe referring to the previous Rebbe as ” Moiri Vchomi SHLITA”.
This is clearly not the Rebbe’s room. so where is this ?
Thank you to the group of bochrim you guys are doing a great job.
I’m sure the Rebbe has much nachas from all of this. Don’t let anything in the world stop u! All Chassidim are backing you and loving all what u do
