==== The Rebbe Rayatz's Visit to the United States ====
After his visit to Eretz Yisrael, the Rebbe Rayatz (Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn) traveled for a special visit to the United States, at the request of his chassidim there. The visit began on the 12th of Elul 5689 (1929).

The Rebbe arrived in the Crown Heights neighborhood and stayed in the Ahavat Achim Tzemach Tzedek synagogue building and later in a rented apartment on Brooklyn Avenue. Five days after his arrival, the Rebbe called for a meeting on Monday, the 18th of Elul, at his residence at building number 4515 on 14th Avenue in Brooklyn. At this meeting, the Rebbe began his work strengthening Yiddishkeit in the United States and gathering aid for Russian Jewry and Chabad institutions in Poland.

On Rosh Hashanah of the year 5690 (1929), the Rebbe stayed in the Brownsville neighborhood, and on Yom Kippur, he stayed in his chassidim's synagogue in Crown Heights.

During the month, the Rebbe Rayatz traveled for a short visit to the Bronx neighborhood but returned immediately to Crown Heights, where he remained until his trip to Philadelphia in the month of Kislev.

On the 25th of Tishrei, the Rebbe held a special farbrengen where he organized the Agudas Chassidei Chabad of the United States in a structured manner. At that farbrengen, Anash (Chassidim) established their participation in Aguch activities, each in their own location.

On Rosh Chodesh Kislev, the Rebbe farbrenged in the Williamsburg neighborhood, and on the 10th of Kislev, he farbrenged in the Bronx neighborhood.

On the 13th of Kislev, the Rebbe Rayatz traveled by train from New York to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and stayed there for a month. The people of the city organized a special reception for the Rebbe.

On the same day, the Rebbe Rayatz returned to New York to participate in a rabbinical assembly organized in his honor, where he raised awareness about the situation of Russian Jews, and the next day he returned to Philadelphia. On Motzei Shabbat, the 19th of Kislev, a farbrengen was held for the city residents with the Rebbe Rayatz, and on the 22nd of Kislev, the Rebbe Rayatz traveled again to New York for another rabbinical assembly with eight hundred participants, after which he returned again to Philadelphia.

On the 12th of Tevet, the Rebbe Rayatz concluded his visit to the city and traveled to Baltimore - the next stop on his journey. In Baltimore too, a festive and magnificent reception was held for the Rebbe with thousands of city residents participating.

On the 24th of Tevet, the yahrzeit of the Alter Rebbe, the Rebbe farbrenged with more than 1,200 city residents, men and women, and all the rabbis of the city.
