In numerous sichos over the years, the Rebbe thanked Crown Heights residents for hosting the guests who had traveled for Tishrei. Read what the Rebbe said, and see how that same hospitality continues today.

THE PRIVILEGE OF FULFILLING G-D’S SHLICHUS THROUGH HACHNASSAS ORCHIM
It would be appropriate here to express a real Yasher Koach and the tremendous satisfaction caused by those who strive and work to remove the claim of ‘if there’s no sustenance, there’s no Torah’; that everything for the guests should be arranged with spiritual and material tranquility (at least as much as possible) by organizing matters of Eshel (food, drink, and lodging) in a pleasant and peaceful manner and with respect.
(sicha, Chai Elul 5737)
TO BRING IN GUESTS IN THE ABSOLUTELY FULLEST SENSE…AND I WILL START!
Since the guests for the month of Tishrei have already started coming in order to stay in the Dalet Amos of my revered and holy teacher and father-in-law, the Rebbe, leader of our generation, the Dalet Amos of Torah, prayer, and charity, to pay homage at his gravesite, to learn his teachings, etc., etc. – we must strive in every detail of the matter of hachnassas orchim in the absolutely fullest sense, in accordance with the sayings of our Sages, of blessed memory, ‘Hospitality is greater than welcoming the presence of the
Shechina’. ‘And I will start’ – by giving physical food from this farbrengen in connection with the opening of ‘Hachnassas Orchim’.
(Hisva’adus 5747, Vol. 4, pg. 361)
A SPECIAL SENSE OF SATISFACTION
It would be appropriate here to mention the special naches received from the conduct of ‘hachnassas orchim’ and in a manner of ‘Eshel’ by bringing in the guests who come here for the month of Tishrei (whether all or part of it) from all over the world.
(sicha, Shabbos Parshas Ha’azinu 5733)
