The Rebbe gave each one of them a coin for additional tzedakah

There aren’t many new pictures of the Lubavitcher Rebbe that haven’t already been seen, but just before Purim, a previously unshared picture went public. Property of the JEM archives, it shows the Rebbe stopping to speak with a group of boys: He’s asking them if they had already given tzedakah that day. When they replied that they had, the Rebbe gave each one of them a coin for additional tzedakah.

Just before Purim, a Yom Tov of extra tzedakah, the picture was a heartening reminder that came to light at the perfect time.
