Editing Yehuda Kalman Marlow (section)

== The Incident in the Sukkah of 770 ==
During Sukkot 5730, during the Rebbe's farbrengen in the sukkah of 770, the Rebbe strongly encouraged the singing and the large crowd danced in place with great enthusiasm. Due to the intensity of the dancing, one of the pyramids collapsed and crushed Rabbi Marlow's leg. Despite the tremendous pain, the Rabbi restrained himself and did not utter a sound, so as not to disturb the farbrengen. The organizing committee rushed to the scene and began clearing away the attendees, trying to move the Rabbi who had meanwhile laid down on the floor, but then they noticed his crushed leg under the pyramid boards. Meanwhile, the singing stopped, the Rebbe's face became serious, and he watched the scene continuously.

After much effort, they managed to extract the Rabbi, and he was rushed to the hospital, where he was immediately admitted and received emergency treatment. His leg was in a cast for six months, and it is said that the Rebbe was involved in all the different stages of treatment.

On the evening after Simchat Torah that year, two of his friends went to the hospital and brought him on crutches to the Rebbe's ongoing farbrengen. When they entered, the Rebbe was in the middle of a talk, and the Rabbi asked to be placed on the side so as not to cause unnecessary attention. When the talk ended, the Rebbe looked in his direction and instructed that he be brought up to the farbrengen platform and be given 'l'chaim'.
