- 5714-1954, the Rebbe officiated at the wedding of his longtime secretary Rabbi Leibel Groner. That morning, Rabbi Groner had come to the office, and the Rebbe asked why he was working on his wedding day. When Rabbi Groner explained that he wanted the merit of serving the Rebbe during this auspicious time, the Rebbe instructed him to finish what he was doing and — as the Previous Rebbe instructed the Rebbe, his future son-in-law, on his own wedding day — he should spend any free time reciting Psalms.
- 5748-1988, the Rebbe participated in a rally in 770 for many Chabad summer camps. Instead of singing “We want Moshiach now,” as they usually would at such events, they sang a different, recently-composed song. Before the Rebbe gave his address, he reminded the emcee, Rabbi J. J. Hecht, that the children should also sing “We want Moshiach now.” When they began to sing, the Rebbe clapped along vigorously.
