== The Arrival of Our Rebbeim to the Country ==
The first time the Frierdiker Rebbe came to the United States was in 5690, after visiting Eretz Yisroel. The Frierdiker Rebbe stayed in the United States for about half a year and met with the then President of the United States.

The second time the Frierdiker Rebbe came to America was for permanent settlement, on 9 Adar II 5700, due to the events of World War II. During that period, the Rebbe remained in France until 28 Sivan 5701, when the Rebbe managed to reach the United States.

When the Frierdiker Rebbe arrived in America, America was then at the peak years of denial of anything with a scent of Yiddishkeit. Then the Frierdiker Rebbe proclaimed that "America iz nit andersh" [America is no different]. Under this slogan, all the spreading of the wellsprings of Chabad Chassidus operated then, until the imprinting of "Ufaratzta" as Lubavitch's activity slogan.
