After eighty years of spreading chassidishe warmth in Russia and in England, Reb Avrohom Sender Nemtzov on vacation in New Haven, CT, when he received a letter from the Rebbe inspiring him with a sense of mission.
As one of the first temimim at Tomechi Temimim in Lubavitch, Reb Avrohom Sender Nemtzov was imbued with Chassidishe warmth which he spread to his surroundings. When he moved to Manchester UK, upon the directive of the Rebbe Rashab, he was actively involved in establishing the local frum and Chassidishe community.
Reb Avrohom Sender was already in his eighties, on vacation in New Haven, CT, when he received the following letter from the Rebbe:
“I was happy to hear that you are resting in New Haven. You are certainly actively looking for opportunities to spread the light of Torah…”
The Rebbe continues to inspire this elderly chossid with a sense of mission, by serving as a role model for the public.
“One must see Torah as one’s own business. This means that it should be conducted in a public throughfare, where others can be reached, and not locked in a private room, waiting for someone to perhaps come offer some business opportunity…
“Likewise, Torah must be studied with a business minded approach…”
(Igros Kodesh Vol 9 p. 218)
