== The Rebbe Rayatz Stays at Rabbi Simpson's Home ==
When the Rebbe Rayatz visited the United States in 5689-5690, he stayed for several days at Rabbi Simpson's home. Before the start of the Rebbe Rayatz's journey in the United States, discussions were held at Agudas Chassidei Chabad about where to host the Rebbe Rayatz, and finally it was decided on the new building of the Lubavitch synagogue 'Ahavas Achim Tzemach Tzedek' under Rabbi Simpson's management. The synagogue, whose construction had just been completed and had not yet been used for prayer and residence, was located on the first floor while the second floor was designated for the Simpson family's residence.

On 12 Elul 5689, the Rebbe Rayatz arrived in New York, and from the port went to Rabbi Simpson's new house. Initially, the Rebbe and his escorts entered the synagogue floor where several distinguished chassidim received the Rebbe, and from there the Rebbe went up to the second floor to the residential apartment. The house was under New York Police protection, and within a short time about two thousand people gathered around it. The Rebbe Rayatz came out to the balcony together with Rabbi Simpson and several other distinguished chassidim including: The Rashag, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Lokshin, Rabbi Mordechai Dubin, and Rabbi Shlomo Aharon Kazarnovsky, and the Rebbe spoke briefly to the crowd.
