Editing Chaim Meir Drukman (section)

==== His Relationship with the Rebbe and Chabad ====
During his aforementioned mission to the United States, he traveled to participate in a farbrengen with the Rebbe on 19 Kislev 5717 (1956). Subsequently, Rabbi Chaim Golovbsky arranged for him a private audience (yechidus) with the Rebbe. The yechidus lasted a long time, and the Rebbe discussed with him his educational activities within the Bnei Akiva framework. After Rabbi Drukman explained the difference between school activities and youth movement activities, and the reason why at youth movement gatherings they mainly speak about faith, the Rebbe told him that in his opinion, schools should also focus on matters of faith. The Rebbe also raised the issue of the lack of adherence to the principles of tznius (modesty) in Bnei Akiva activities.

Rabbi Drukman related that when his mother passed away, he received a letter of condolence from the Rebbe, even though he had not informed the Rebbe about the passing.

Rabbi Drukman made sure to participate in farbrengens in honor of 19 Kislev - the Festival of Redemption, and in other Chabad farbrengens and events.

After participating in a farbrengen held to mark the completion of the Rambam cycle on Saturday night in Kiryat Malachi, immediately after the farbrengen he flew to the United States and managed to attend the dollar distribution with the Rebbe on 27 Tevet 5751 (1991). Rabbi Drukman told the Rebbe about his words at the farbrengen, about the path the Rebbe leads in bringing Jews closer to Judaism through love. The Rebbe responded to him regarding the Rambam's words, that in the future era, all people of the world, not just Jews, will engage in "knowing Hashem." Rabbi Drukman also spoke with the Rebbe about the Jewish state of the immigrants from the Soviet Union, and finally, the Rebbe blessed him that since "you are known to stand firmly on your opinion," "you should increase even more in your firmness."

Additionally, Rabbi Drukman passed by the Rebbe on other occasions as well and participated several times in prayers with the Rebbe at 770.

Rabbi Drukman maintained a warm relationship with the Chabad community in Nachalat Har Chabad and in Merkaz Shapira, and occasionally participated in farbrengens with Rabbi Mendel Vechter, with whom he maintained a close personal relationship.

In 5764 (2004), he signed a call to adhere to the practice of the daily study of Rambam.
