== Imprisonment == At the end of 1927, the Yevsektzia discovered his activities and arrested him. The Previous Rebbe wrote: "For about three months he felt that someone was following his footsteps and counting his steps, but being devoted to his work, he did not find enough strength within himself to leave the work and travel to another region for a few months. One day in the month of First Adar 1927, they caught him in the city of Ovruch and sent him bound in iron chains under heavy guard to the city of Kharkov, where they put him in prison. They allowed him his tefillin, and he sat there for about two months... They granted his request to be free for the holiday days... When he returned, they told him he was free to stay in Kharkov until they would permit him to travel completely. Their desire was to see what he would do during that time so that through this they could learn with whom he was in contact, and although he engaged in his work matters, naturally in complete secrecy, thank God they could not find anything." When they took the Previous Rebbe to prison on 14 Sivan 1927, on that same day they took him back to prison (after releasing him on condition that he remain in Kharkov as mentioned above) and interrogated him about the Previous Rebbe's activities, but he naturally did not reveal anything.
