Editing Meals in the Home of the Frierdiker Rebbe (section)

== Meal Proceedings ==
After the Frierdiker Rebbe settled in 770, he would have his Shabbos meals in the living room of his second-floor apartment. Although the Frierdiker Rebbe would say lengthy sichos at these meals, they were not part of his regular farbrengens that also took place there, but rather Shabbos meals with family and elder chassidim.

The Frierdiker Rebbe sat at the head of the table, with [[The Rashag - Reb Shemaryahu Gurary|the Rashag]] to his right and [[the Rebbe]] to his left, surrounded by additional chassidim. The Rebbetzins and other women sat at a table set up in the kitchen. The meals took place on Rosh Hashanah, Motzei Yom Kippur, Sukkos, Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah, first and last days of Pesach, and Shavuos.

This arrangement continued after the Frierdiker Rebbe's histalkus, with plates, cutlery, a cup, and challos still being set at the Frierdiker Rebbe's place. Once when the Rebbe was asked why this seating arrangement continued as before, he replied that it evokes memories of how things were before the Frierdiker Rebbe's histalkus.

It is told that once when cutlery was missing for one person and they took from the Frierdiker Rebbe's setting, [[Rebbetzin Nechama Dina Schneerson (Wife of Rebbe Rayatz)|Rebbetzin Nechama Dina]] protested and ordered that her husband's cutlery be returned immediately.

After Shacharis on the first day of Pesach 5710 - after the Frierdiker Rebbe's histalkus, the Rebbe expressed disappointment that now when entry was permitted to all, people weren't taking advantage of the opportunity to eat the afikoman in the place where the Frierdiker Rebbe conducted the Seder for nearly ten years.

The Rebbe spoke very little, mainly responding to questions asked of him, and spent most of the time looking at the Frierdiker Rebbe's prepared place. Sometimes the Rebbe would instruct someone to tell a story or sing a niggun. The bochurim would often ask the Rashag to pose certain questions to the Rebbe.
