Editing Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch (section)

==== Will Document ====
On 17 Sivan 5748 (1988), a "will document" was written (according to the Rebbe's instructions) by Rabbis Chodakov, Nissan Mindel, and Yisroel Yitzchok Piekarski regarding the leadership of Lubavitch institutions; in the document, three were appointed to the main administration of Merkos, together and each individually: Rabbi Chodakov, Nissan Mindel, and Rabbi Sholom Mendel Simpson. The will was edited by the Rebbe, but no signed copy was found. Some claim that the Rebbe signed a copy that is not in our possession, a claim based on the testimony of Reb Nissan Mindel, as well as the testimony of Rabbi Shneur Zalman Labkowski who heard from Rabbi Yisroel Yitzchok Piekarski. This created a division among Chabad rabbis, with a committee of four rabbis including Rabbi Yehuda Kalman Marlow, Rabbi Yitzchok Hendel, Rabbi Yitzchok Meir Hertz, and Rabbi Dovid Shochat, ruling that the will must be fulfilled and Rabbi Mindel and Rabbi Simpson should be appointed to the Merkos administration. However, most rabbis in the Vaad Rabonei Lubavitch ruled that the will has no validity since no signed copy was found [source needed].
