לע"נ ר' ישראל יעקב וזוגתו מרת קריינא ע"ה לאקשין
ע"י בניהם ר' נחמן ור' אברהם ומשפחתם שיחיו
1977-5738, just a few days after suffering a severe heart attack, the Rebbe held his regular Shabbat Bereishit farbrengen. But in order to ease the strain that this would put on him, the farbrengen was held in the evening, after Shabbat was over, so the Rebbe could address the crowd from his office via microphone. Even after the Rebbe recovered enough for him to come out of his office and speak to the crowd directly, these farbrengens continued to be held on motzaei Shabbat so a microphone could be used and the Rebbe would not have to speak loudly for people to hear him. It was two years later that the Rebbe resumed the farbrengens on Shabbat afternoons. 26 Tishrei
