Snow Seasons in the late 1970's

00:05 The snowstorm in New York that we're experiencing now basically brings to memory by the Rebbe, different that took place and how the Rebbe reacted to it in different occasions. One was It was then a big snowstorm, strong winds, and the Rebbe was planning to go to the AL as was customary by the Rebbe and the maskiros first verified if it's possible to get to the AL, if the roads are clear or if the roads are manageable, and they received an answer that it's impossible to get to the AL. One of the maskiros went into the Rebbe and notified the Rebbe, and the Rebbe said, You're throwing on me a , a union of a depression, a displeasing news. And, uh, the Rebbe said he's not going, and the Rebbe did not travel to the AL that day. Now we go on to a another event that took place in that's early nineteen seventy-nine.

They have a special that they're being guided the Rebbe quote, uh, quotes, unquotes the word with a finger. In other words, they're being they show them with a finger what to do, and the Rebbe continues, it should be everyone could, uh, already travel to our house because the was
