Editing Eliyahu Simpson (section)

== Acceptance of the Nesius and Among the Most Connected ==
Rabbi Eliyahu Simpson knew the Rebbe closely, due to his being among the important Chabad activists in the United States and gabbai of the Rebbe Rayatz. The first acquaintance was formed following the Rebbe Rayatz's instruction to a group of chassidim, including Rabbi Simpson, to receive his son-in-law upon his arrival to the United States on 28 Sivan 5701. He consulted the Rebbe about every step in his life, and he also educated his descendants that every step taken should be considered whether it is according to the Rebbe's will. The Rebbe, for his part, showed special respect to Rabbi Simpson.
