Editing Neos Deshe (Summer Retreats) (section)

== [[The Rebbe Rashab]] ==
The first time the Rebbe Rashab traveled to Neos Deshe near Lubavitch was in 1895. While the revealed reason was his weakened health, [[The Rebbe Rayatz|the Frierdiker Rebbe]] later shared that the true reason was that the Rebbe Rashab wanted to be together with him and dedicate time to his personal chinuch. During their two-hour walks in Neos Deshe, he revealed his holy decision to personally guide his son's education. The schedule of walks was kept with extreme precision, even on rainy and gloomy days. During these walks, the Rebbe Rashab devoted himself to educating his son, guiding him and revealing lofty concepts.

The Rebbe Rashab would come to Lubavitch from Neos Deshe every Monday. On Thursday, 12 Tammuz, his son the Frierdiker Rebbe's birthday, they would wake up early, immerse in the river, and travel to the Ohel of our Rebbeim in Lubavitch. There, in front of the open Aron Kodesh, he had his son take an oath and transferred to him the work of communal activities in physical and spiritual matters.

When traveling to Neos Deshe, the Rebbe Rashab would read Tikkun Leil Shavuos for the second time, and when traveling about four parsaos, he would command to stop, wash his hands, and recite Tefilas Haderech.

When traveling to Neos Deshe in summer, he would pack the holy manuscripts and take them with him. The places where the Rebbe would travel for summer Neos Deshe (datche) varied. In his later years, he would travel to Zalshe, about thirty kilometers from [[Lubavitch]]. The journey from Lubavitch to Zalshe was by wagon. When traveling, he would take with him, besides other items, his manuscripts in two boxes, and when the wagon driver would load them onto the wagon, the Rebbe would stand in the courtyard supervising the entire time.
