Editing The Rebbe's Visit To Paris (section)

== Special Days ==
Throughout the visit, the Rebbe held several farbrengens with the local Chabad community, especially on Shabbat and special days in the Jewish calendar.

The Rebbe held a farbrengen for 2nd of Nissan at Rabbi Schneerson's house, beginning with a niggun (Chassidic melody), saying it was one of the Rebbe Rashab's innovations. Like other farbrengens during that visit, it continued until dawn.

During the visit, Rebbetzin Chana revealed to the chassidim that the 11th of Nissan was the Rebbe's birthday, and the chassidim requested a farbrengen. This gathering was held on the upper floor, where the Rebbe spoke about the significance of birthdays.

The Rebbe also held a farbrengen on Pesach Sheni, though it was a brief one that ended when he needed to visit his mother in the evening as was his daily custom. On Lag BaOmer, the Rebbe held two farbrengens - one with a group of Anash who had managed to leave Russia after Pesach and were staying at the 'Prima' hotel, and another at the Pletzl synagogue where he tearfully lamented that while previous Rebbes had outstanding chassidim who were immersed in Torah study and divine service, his father-in-law had to occupy himself with teaching young children their Aleph Beis.
