My mom went to a farbrengen on Tuesday. She has always regretted never meeting the Rebbe, even though it's the 2 straight down.

Btw, on the UWS, on a bunch of street corners on Broadway, there are posters on every traffic stop that say "the Messiah is coming," with pictures of the Rebbe.

Watching the videos of the rebbe is a good replacement for not meeting him!

I'd been meaning to reply to this all week! Am about to listen to the newest episode.

Yeah, I've seen a bunch of videos of him. There are so many channels that have brief videos of him greeting various people. I've shown them to my mom, too, though she's not so much into the videos. Actually, on Sunday she forwarded me a letter - the closest Chabad is now doing weekly trips to the Ohel. I'm going to go in the next few weeks.

I absolutely loved the this and the following episode on the Rebbe! Thanks Jay for recommending Rabbi Teluskin’s biography. I am in the middle of reading it and am enjoying it a lot!
