Thank You but correction

The letters placed on the Rebbe's "place" that day was not simply- Rebbe pray for us... NO! It was Rebbe, We need You!! Don't leave us! We need to See YOU!

Touching

I had tears in my eyes while watching this doc. I'm too young to be a holocaust survivor, but I'm not to young to acknowledge the greatness of the rebbe. I feel sad because I didn't have the chance to meet him in person, and in the meantime I feel overjoyed by the teachings he left.
Thank you rebbe, thank you "father."
