The Rebbe Relates

When they played, Zalman Aharon, the older son, would sit on a chair and put a hat on his head. He was the Rebbe. Sholom Ber would prepare himself and then enter the "Rebbe's" room for a private audience.

"Yesterday, an event took place that had no known precedent in human history: a manned spacecraft approached the moon, orbited it several times, and returned safely to earth. What can we, as Jews, learn from this event?"

As he aged, his children suggested that they hire a horse and buggy to take him to Lubavitch, which would allow him to continue his annual tradition.
