In addition to these meals, on Yud Tes Kislev, Purim and Yud Beis Tammuz, there was a brief farbrengen there with the Rebbe, a few chassidim and Beis Rebbe before the Rebbe's main farbrengen. They would sing a niggun and someone would share something, but the Rebbe didn't speak at these farbrengens. These farbrengens were a continuation of the Frierdiker Rebbe's farbrengens that took place on these days.
