“A major factor in the unique energy felt that year was the gradual increase in weekday sichos after Mincha-Maariv followed by dollars, until it quite literally became a nightly occurrence.
“It is hard to explain the energy that spread at the time. One could be at any sort of event—wedding, sheva brachos, etc.; the second the alarm went off in the streets, indicating that the Rebbe was about to speak, the chosson, kallah and the entire room began running to 770. This was such a remarkable expression of hiskashrus felt in the whole community, a different reality entirely!
“It felt as though the Rebbe was looking for every single opportunity to spend more time with us. More and more, giving and giving, to an unbelievable extent.”
Rabbi Yosef Greenberg
