The FULL story of the release of the Skulener Rebbe זצ"ל

I've heard it said that with this story justice was finally done to the כבוד of the Lubavitcher Rebbe who is the one who deserves the most credit for the Skulener Rebbe's release. The Skulener Rebbe's yohrtzeit was Friday, Erev Rosh Chodesh Elul. Our friends in Satmar over the years have tried - and have been successful - in covering it up. Thanks to the opening of the JDC digital archive to the public Dovid Zaklikowski was able to bring to light the evidence for it. You wouldn't know from the subtitle of the story, though. Almost as if they published the story but didn't want that to be the main point... With very special thanks to the family of Rabbi Binyomin Eliyahu Gorodetsky, the unrelenting activist, who headed Chabad-Lubavitch in, among other places, Israel, Europe, and North Africa... the JDC's archive has this entire Parsha closed... nothing is available on it online...

I take no credit for this... Well, actually I do.

Skulener Rebbe, שליט"א, hosts delegation of Chabad Rabbonim and משפיעים at his home yesterday. (L-R, Reb Leibel Altein , Heichel Menachem BP; Reb Gedalia Oberlander, Heichel Menachem Monsey; Reb Shmuel Pevzner, CH/BP; Reb Nochem Sternberg, CH; Rav Avrohom Osdoba, BaDaTZ Crown Heights)


We thank Rabbi Yair Hoffman and the good people at VosizNeias for making this happen. After all, we all know that RMK never said it, don't we? It's comments like #49 ("Lubavitcher") who bring us all closer together and show the world that making fun of Gedolim is not cool.
