Editing Yerachmiel Benyaminson (section)

== Connected to the Rebbe Rayatz ==
In summer 1920, the Rebbe Rashab passed away, and his son and successor - the Rebbe Rayatz - took over leadership of the Chassidim.

During that period, when the Communists ruled Russia, the Rebbe Rayatz gathered ten of the greatest Chassidim and devotees who acted with supreme self-sacrifice to fulfill the Rebbe's missions. The Rebbe made them swear they would not move an inch from their position in spreading Torah and Judaism in Russia and would fight until their last drop of blood against the impure arm extended to cut down Israel's crown in the vast expanses of the Soviet Union. Rabbi Yerachmiel Benyaminson, who was completely devoted to the Rebbe Rayatz, was one of those ten who participated in that stirring gathering, and took upon himself - like all participants - to fight until the end for Judaism and Jews.
