The following excerpt from the memoirs of Rabbi Yehoshua (Heisha) Dubrawski a”h, is reprinted from Avner Institute!
“Over a year had passed since our wedding, and there were still no children on the way. My wife finally went to see a top doctor in Paris, who stated that her chances of becoming pregnant were slim.
“In 5713/1953, a few years after our marriage, we arrived in Brooklyn, and it was then that we had our first yechidus with the Rebbe. I will add parenthetically that at that time my grandfather Rabbi Menachem Mendel Dubrawski, of blessed memory, lived with us and shared our yechidus. The war had left him a broken man, but when the Rebbe rose and asked him to be seated, he refused. After reciting the she'hechiyanu blessing and the Rebbe's blessings, Zeide said he was the uncle of the Rebbe's father. The Rebbe responded with his charming smile and said, “We know, we know.”
