Doctor and Chasid

On Shmini Atzeres in 1977, the Rebbe suffered a massive heart attack during the dancing. For the next five weeks, Jews around the world prayed for the Rebbe’s health and wellbeing.

Rabbi Mendel Groner, whose father was a personal secretary of the Rebbe, was a student at 770 at the time. Here, he recalls the joy that Chassidim felt when the Rebbe finally returned home.
