Editing Colel chabad (section)

== The Rebbe's Period ==
After the Rebbe officially accepted leadership on 10 Shevat 1951, Colel Chabad management requested to accept the Rebbe's presidency, as reported in Beis Moshiach weekly:

At that time, Colel Chabad managers asked the Rebbe to accept the presidency and write a letter requesting donations to Colel Chabad. The Rebbe agreed to write a letter on Purim Katan 1951. In early Nissan 1951, a meeting of Chabad institutions' managements in the Holy Land was held with participation of Agudas Chassidei Chabad, Tomchei Tmimim Yeshivas, Toras Emes Yeshiva, Achei Tmimim, Colel Chabad and Kfar Chabad. The meeting unanimously decided that all institutions stand under the Rebbe's presidency. They wrote to the Rebbe about this. But the Rebbe did not accept the presidency of the institutions in the Holy Land until 1952.
