Here, the Rebbe folds his tallis after an uplifting Shavuos, on the cusp of a new season of welcoming Yidden from around the globe to the shul.

The Nikolsburger Rebbe presides over the Klal Yisroel Shul in Woodbourne, New York. The simple design of the shul says something about its spirit: pure, unadulterated ahavas Yisrael, without preconditions and judgments.

Here, the Rebbe folds his tallis after an uplifting Shavuos, on the cusp of a new season of welcoming Yidden from around the globe to the shul.

An observer remarked that as the tallis’s four corners came together under the care of the Rebbe’s hands, it was emblematic of his unique ability to bring  together Yidden of different hashkafic strands, uniting them in a singular purpose of avodas Hashem.
