Pictorial Highlights 22 Elul, 1991

Posted on by admin

Each time the Rebbe distributed dollars, individuals were touched and lives were impacted. Presented here are photos of several highlights and encounters from Sunday Dollars of 22 Elul 1991 (5751).

From the spring of 1986 on, every Sunday, the Rebbe would stand and distribute dollars, to be given to charity, to anyone who came by his door. Thousands stood in line each week, and to every person he received, the Rebbe offered a blessing, some encouragement, or a word of advice.

The Sunday of 22 Elul 1991 was no different. The Rebbe saw countless people from all walks of life and had time for them all – including a US Senator, a New York Attorney General, members of Congress of Racial Equality, and a settlement leader, among others.
