== The Frierdiker Rebbe's Visit to the State ==
Towards the year 5690 (1930), the Frierdiker Rebbe made a historic journey to the United States, and on Sunday, 19 Sivan 5690, he began his visit to Massachusetts when he arrived in the capital city Boston, staying at the home of Lipschitz, who was one of the leaders of the local Jewish community.

After a brief rest, the Rebbe began receiving the masses who gathered at the doors of the house for yechidus, and this continued during the other days, at times when the Frierdiker Rebbe did not go to additional places to strengthen the state of Yiddishkeit there.

On Monday, the day after his arrival, the community held a reception at the home of Yaakov Thurman. About ten days after his arrival, on 28 Sivan, an official reception was held with the participation of governors and senior public officials in the state.

That same day, the Frierdiker Rebbe traveled to Chelsea, where he blessed the children of the local Talmud Torah, and then returned to Mr. Lipschitz's home, where he stayed until 3 Tammuz.

In total, the Frierdiker Rebbe's visit to the state lasted about two weeks, and he was accompanied on his travels by his son-in-law, the Rashag, who helped him in his activities and stood by him in everything he needed.

Rabbi Yaakov Yisroel Zuber served as the rabbi of the Chabad Nusach Ari synagogue.
