0485 - Hanging Up Signs in 770 (a Shul)

00:01 I want to mention something that I remember from the Chof, but I don't remember the details. I don't remember which year it was, but there was something going to be for the Lubavitch Yeshiva, a dinner or a groundbreaking or something that was going to be during the week for the Lubavitch Yeshiva. So be-- uh, before Shabbos on Friday, I remember seeing Rabbi Moshe Leib Brochtshteyn as one of the Rebbe's secretaries take a big gigantic sign which said on it that there will be this event and asking people to go, and hung it up on the wall of the shul in 770, on the Meitav wall of 770. A very, very big sign. Shabbos by fabrengen, the Rebbe spoke about it, and the Rebbe spoke against, spoke against it, and the Rebbe said that I don't remember the details, but something that in a shul you don't hang up such signs, et cetera, et cetera. I don't remember any more details. I don't remember what the event was exactly, but I do remember clearly that he hung up a big sign, and the Rebbe was upset about this big sign, and he said this is not the place for to put these signs. That's why I was surprised actually years later when they put up signs in 770, uh, also but ga-- certain events, hey teves, that the Rebbe didn't say anything, and obviously it was accepted. So maybe it was a different situation. I don't know the details, but then clearly I remember that when

01:23 Rabbi Moshe Leib hung it up, Shabbos the Rebbe spoke against it, that this is not the right thing to do to hang up such big signs in 770 in the shul.
