Selichos Asara B'Teves 5725 with the Rebbe דאווענען פאר'ן עמוד.
The Rebbe's mother passed away on 6 Tishrei of that year and he davened for the amud all of that year. A rarity in Chabad. The רביים never davened for the עמוד besides for when they were חיובים or on a יארצייט. At that time, and until 5748, the Rebbe davened שחרית ביחידות, and would only join a מנין for קריאת התורה, where he would usually be עולה שלישי during the week. On שבת ויו"ט he of course davened with the מנין and was עולה מפטיר. Here we hear the Rebbe - beginning from שמע קולינו in שמו"ע and through סליחות. I would dare say that even dyed-in-the-wool Lubavitchers are very נתרגש from this recording, no matter how many times they hear it. The בכיות are מורא'דיג, and the השתפכות הנפש will shake you to the core. Something for all of you to remember. Click on the above link and it will take to a page that will open automatically. Open a סידור to the סליחות of עשרה בטבת and follow along. If you have little time you can skip ahead to minute 12:30 and listen.
