After Anash.org publicized that the Rebbetzin’s Shabbos candlesticks were newly displayed at the Rebbe’s library, a group of students and their teacher from Oholei Torah wasted no time in going to see them in person.
The candlesticks, which were used by the Rebbe’s mashbak R’ Sholom Ber Gansburg from Gimmel Tammuz until his passing last month, were added to the exhibition at the Rebbe’s library. The news of their public display was exclusively reported on Anash.org, to the excitement of many chassidim.
According to Rabbi Berel Levine, Chief Librarian of the Rebbe’s library, the candlesticks were actually used by two rebbetzins, the first being Rebbetzin Sterna Sara, wife of the Rebbe Rashab. Following her passing in 5702, they were given to the Rebbetzin, who used them until Chof Beis Shvat 5748. From that point on, the Rebbe lit Shabbos candles on his own in the same candlesticks, usually in his room in 770.
Hearing of the new display, Rabbi Shmuel Butler, a teacher at Oholei Torah, took the first opportunity to bring a group of children over to see the candlesticks. The children excitedly gathered around the display case to see the candlesticks and the other items used by the Rebbe.
whats that gold becher about? details please
A Jew by the name Aharon Klein gave the Rebbe a gold Becher, which the Rebbe used on Pesach at home.
Some years the Rebbe brought the Becher to 770, and used it by the Farbrengen on Acharon Shel Pesach and Kos Shel Brocho.
