== Quotes about the Rebbe ==
During one of Rabbi Baruch Shimon Schneerson's speeches at Torah gatherings, he said: "Many ask themselves, what is the secret behind the great success of the Chabad movement, its prosperity and development in Israel and worldwide in an extraordinary manner. Our Sages revealed the secret to us: 'Whoever fulfills the Torah in poverty will eventually fulfill it in wealth.' The Chabad chassidim are those who fulfilled and continue to fulfill the Torah in poverty. With self-sacrifice and under the most difficult conditions of distress, behind the Iron Curtain. They, under the leadership of the holy Rebbes, constituted the vanguard before the camp of those who preserved the holy flame. None are more worthy and deserving of fulfilling the Torah in wealth than they."

In 5752 (1992), they gave him the book "Sha'arei Emunah" published by the Heichal Menachem Institute. In a thank-you letter, he wrote about the methods of the Rishonim on the topic of Divine Providence discussed in the book. Regarding the request to give an approbation for the book, he wrote: "I hereby thank you for the important book 'Sha'arei Emunah' that you sent me, and with this publication comes the blessing that Hashem should bless your efforts to increase and glorify Torah, and may you go from strength to strength, Amen. And regarding your request to write words of appreciation about the book, surely you don't mean about the content of the discourses in the book, for these are the Rebbe's words, may Hashem heal him soon, and his words do not need my evaluation."

In one of his articles about the Rebbe, he wrote: "To speak about the virtues and greatness of the Rebbe seems impossible. Just as it is impossible to assess the intensity of his self-sacrifice for all of Israel. Anyone who knew firsthand about the self-sacrifice in Russia, and anyone who knows what is happening today throughout the world, knows and understands that there are simply no words that can describe it. I am the man who has seen the affliction of my people. When we were in Russia during difficult times, and I saw the self-sacrifice of the chassidim, who were sanctified and purified through suffering and torture and maintained their faith. And all from the power of the Rebbe... No matter how much we say, we will not reach even the tiniest fraction of the Rebbe's greatness."

On the 15th of Elul 5757 (1997), a celebration was held to mark the centennial of the founding of Yeshiva Tomchei Tmimim by the Rebbe Rashab. Rabbi Schneerson participated in the celebration and in his speech said: "Now when there is so much talk about preparations for the coming of Moshiach, one must know that the students who study Torah are the main preparation of the world for the coming of Moshiach, because all learning in the present time is preparation for 'a new Torah will come forth from Me,' when there will be a revelation of the inner dimension of Torah, and all our actions in exile are preparation for learning Moshiach's Torah. Tomchei Tmimim went through very difficult times in Russia, and the students learned day and night with self-sacrifice Torah for its own sake, without expecting greatness and without receiving prizes... And through the merit of the founders of the yeshiva, the Tmimim will merit to connect with the Holy One, blessed be He. Thank G-d that I also merited to be for a certain period close to the yeshiva, and I served as a link in the golden chain, and the students of that time became great in Torah and Chassidus for the glory of the House of Israel and the glory of Chabad Chassidus. May it be G-d's will that the yeshiva continues to produce fruits and fruits of fruits, and may we merit the coming of Moshiach speedily in our days, Amen."
