Rabbi Lau describes the Rebbe not just as a leader who revolutionized world Jewry, but also as one who cared about a widow in Israel who wanted to commit suicide...

I found myself riveted to your every word Rabbi Lau. I actually heard of your experience with the gentleman who declined to return to Eretz Israel with you, in order to be with his grandkids ("the captain of a dying ship") from my own Rabbi in Chabad of Parkland in Florida. I never met the Rebbe personally, but your reflections on the Rebbe so deeply touched me. Those of us that never had the fortune of meeting the Rebbe should be grateful to those that did and are willing to speak of their fortune, like you. You are a remarkable speaker. Thank you for sharing.

A Leader, An Activist, A Man with a Heart
Thank you Rabbi Lau for a deeply moving and inspirational talk in which you spoke so profoundly and with great compassion and insight about the Rebbe.
Your talk came from the heart and went to the heart and so honoured 'A Man with a Heart' .
