A large crowd of Anash and other chassidim gathered in Monsey to mark Yud Shevat with a powerful farbrengen, marking 76 years of the Rebbe’s nesius, with R’ Chaim Sholom Deitsch, Rosh Kollel of Tzemach Tzedek Kollel in Yerushalayim and renowned mashpia.

During the farbrengen, R’ Chaim Sholom shared many fascinating stories, including personal accounts of his own journey to becoming a chossid of the Rebbe. Throughout the evening, he urged participants to strengthen themselves in learning Chassidus and to deepen their real, personal connection to the Rebbe.

He also spoke about how the Rebbe embodies the ultimate combination of taam v’daas and above taam v’daas. As one person who came for yechidus said that the Rebbe was the smartest person he had ever encountered – knowing everything, with nothing beyond his grasp, in nigleh, Chassidus, halacha, and even, l’havdil, secular subjects – yet at the same time possessing such pure emunah and unwavering faith in Hashem.

The farbrengen was organized by Heichal Menachem of Monsey.
