Reb Sholom Posner, the Rebbe’s shliach in Pittsburgh for many years, once told the Rebbe at yechidus of the purchase and renovation of a building to serve as a school and community center. He concluded by asking the Rebbe if he would like to become a partner in the effort, not only through his blessings and advice, but also by making a monetary contribution.

The Rebbe agreed, and told Rabbi Posner: “I would be happy if other shluchim would learn from you and make such requests.”
