A special Kinus Torah and Farbrengen took place in Crown Heights, organized by the Vaad Hamosifin. The event marked 18 Nissan, the birthday of Harav Levi Yitzchak, the Rebbe’s father, and the day of the Rebbe’s bris. 

A crowd gathered at Kollel Menachem near 770 to hear fascinating lessons on the Rebbe’s Haggadah from Torah scholars specializing in its explanation, as well as teachings from Reb Levik.

The organizer, Rabbi Shmuel Pevzner, opened the Kinus by noting the 80th anniversary of the Rebbe’s publication of the Haggadah with “Likkutei Taamim u’Minhagim,” an edition that has amazed the Jewish world since its release.

Rabbi Shalom Ber Levine, the librarian of the Agudas Chasidei Chabad Library and author of the “Dover Shalom” commentary on the Rebbe’s Haggadah, explained the three elements of the Haggadah: the enslavement, Yetzias Mitzrayim, and the future Geulah.

Rabbi Fishel Oster, one of the Roshei Yeshivah at Oholei Torah and rov of the Merkaz Avreichim shul, shed light on the Rebbe’s explanation concerning a bracha for charoses.

Rabbi Dovid Dubov: Shliach in Princeton, New Jersey, and editor of the “Yalkut Levi Yitzchak” series on the Torah, presented wonderful insights from the teachings of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak.

Following Ma’ariv, the crowd sat down for a Chassidishe Farbrengen in honor of the day.
