The Rebbe In Paris * NEW. 7/25/24: Brooklyn NY : BSD Publishers. When a story is told about the Rebbe, it piques everyone's interest and arouses their longing. Even more so when the narrator opens with the words, "This is about when the Rebbe was in Paris...." Until recently, the time that the Rebbe spent in Paris was shrouded in mystery. Over the years, however, many details have come to light, making us thirsty to know even more. Our book gives an overview of the Rebbe's time in Paris, opening a small window into the Rebbe's extraordinary personality and revealing some of "the light before the revelation" - a subject so dear to chassidim and everyone with any connection to the Rebbe. Who enrolled the Rebbe to study in Sorbonne? Who paid the tuition for the Rebbe? Who made cheese for the Rebbe in Paris? Who sent the Rebbe matzoh and wine? What did the Rebbe say about the famous chess picture? The book has seven sections: Before World War II - The period when the Rebbe and Rebbetzin resided in Paris from Nissan 5693 (spring 1933) until the day before Shovuos 5700 (1940). The escape route from the European "valley of tears" - When the Rebbe and Rebbetzin were forced to leave Paris, escaping first to Vichy, then to Nice, and later to Marseilles. From there, they traveled overland to Lisbon, Portugal, from where they embarked on a boat to New York, reaching the safe shores of the United States on 28 Sivan 5701 (June 23, 1941). The Rebbe's visit to Paris in 5707 (1947) - The visit the Rebbe made to bring his mother, the Rebbetzin Chana, to the United States. The Rebbe stayed in Paris for almost three months, from 26 Adar (March 18) until 21 Sivan (June 9). Paris Addendum - Brief memories concerning the activities in and around the house we called home for seven years, 10 Rue Dieu, in Paris. "The Continuation" - The following years in the United States.
