I remember once an envoy from the King of Morocco came for a private audience with the Rebbe. He arrived a few hours early and respectfully asked me what the procedure was for an audience with the Rebbe.

She was speaking to the Rebbe for a very long time, and it seemed that she did not have any plans to end the conversation...

We realized that the Rebbe did not sleep for any long period of time. I remember that if the Rebbe went to sleep at 10 p.m., at 11:30 he was back up at his desk studying...

In a private audience, the Rebbe encouraged the rabbi of a certain community to start in his city a campaign to purchase kosher food...

I would enter the Rebbe's office at least once a day...

At the end of one of these audiences, the Rebbe turned to Begin and asked him if he would do him a personal favor. Begin replied affirmatively.

There is no doubt in my mind that the time the Rebbe spent at the resting place of his father-in-law, the sixth Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory, was extremely precious to him...

The donor told the Chabad-Lubavitch emissary: "Before I enter into my audience with the Rebbe, let it be known that I support your Chabad House, and I have no interest in supporting any other Jewish – or for that matter, Chabad – causes."

When the Rebbe requested that I join his secretarial staff, he told me to speak to Rabbi Hodakov, his chief aide. "He will tell you what needs to be done."
