Response to Rabbi Tzvi Freeman

Ah! Many thanks. I am working with my new study partner (we began two weeks ago and she is amazing!) and trying to learn, but a feminist from as far back as the days of "Women's Liberation" and the Equal Rights Ammendment, I am still trying to feel my way along on my travels to return home.

Re: Women

In general, there would be a separate line for women. For the honey-cake line, however, far fewer women came, since the cake was meant for the entire family and so the man would go and receive for his family. There was a concerted effort to give the Rebbe less work on such a day.

La Shana Tova

B"H By G-d's grace (isn't everything?), I returned to Cincinnati to Chabad of Southern Ohio for the holidays. My soul is recharged! After years of seeking what could never touch the Jewish neshama, 12 steps saved my life, but Chabad (baruch HaShem) continues to save my soul. I am forever grateful. -Richard Wolfson, Portsmouth, Ohio

women?

How come you don't show the Rebbe giving Lekach to the women? I find that it was part of the uniqueness of the Rebbe, that women were always included in anything he distributed , be it dollars, Tanyas, Kuntresim or Lekach.

Lekach

Thank you for the beautiful video of Lekach from the Rebbe. It brought back precious memories of receiving Lekach from the Rebbe's holy hand. I can almost feel its spongy texture and smell its sweet aroma. Most of all though, I can recall the Rebbe's beautiful smile and warm wishes. With prayers for the Geula Now and a Gmar Chasima Tova.
