Open Mic Day in Montreal.
Today, thanks to Rabbis Moshe New and Itchie Treitel, we had people from all different walks of life come and tell their stories in a studio we setup at the Montreal Torah Center (MTC).
BH, it went over very well, with people coming in throughout the day.
One story that sticks out is that in 1962, Professor Avrohom Teitelbaum came with his wife and sister-in-law from Montreal to NY via plane to spend time with Rebbe and to come to a Farbrengen.
After the Farbrengen, Teitelbaum had a yechidus with the Rebbe and he told the Rebbe that as a struggling professor, he feels that the money spent on the plane tickets could have been put to better use by giving it to Tzedakah. The Rebbe replied with a big smile and said that when you come to Farbrengens that will enable you to give even more Tzedakah.

Reb Binyomin Zeig, a Vishnitzer Chosid, retells his visit with the Rebbe, when the Rebbe asked to give his son a nickel.

Interview with Professor Avrohom Teitelbaum. The Rebbe told him that he would be more influential to other Jews with a Phd at the end of his name.
