Touching a City's Soul - Kuntres Bikur Chicago

The visit of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn to
Chicago 5702 (1942)

Arriving in America in 5700 (1940) from Warsaw, broken in body from the Soviet persecution and having witnessed firsthand the Nazi conquest of Poland, the Rebbe rallied American Jews to a reawakening of pride in their heritage. With a firm and vigorous spirit, he inspired them to strengthen their study of the Torah and the observance of its mitzvos, and to provide authentic Jewish education for their cildren.
