	After the wedding, Rabbi Marlow worked as an educator at the Lubavitcher Yeshiva and became a beloved teacher. Even when the burden of making a living fell upon him, he never stopped studying Torah for a moment. In the morning hours, he would teach at the yeshiva, and after classes ended, he would go to the synagogue and sit down to study with diligence and persistence. Only in the late night hours would he return home.		After the wedding, Rabbi Marlow worked as an educator at the Lubavitcher Yeshiva and became a beloved teacher.

	At that time, [[~~Rabbi~~ Zalman Shimon Dvorkin]] served as the rabbi of Crown Heights, speaking mainly in [[Yiddish]] and not having a good command of English. Baalei teshuva (newly religious Jews) who joined the community and spoke only English could not communicate with the community's rabbi and preferred to ask Rabbi Marlow, who was fluent in English. Rabbi Marlow, who did not want to rule on Jewish law in front of his rabbi, would not respond directly to questioners but would open the Shulchan Aruch to the relevant section and study it with them until they understood what the Shulchan Aruch ruled in such a case.

	Every year he would complete several tractates in depth, and before each holiday, he would thoroughly review all the laws related to that holiday. He also had a special study schedule for learning the laws applicable throughout the year. He knew the entire Torah with Rashi's commentary and Targum Onkelos by heart, and was a very precise Torah reader. The cantillation marks were fluent on his tongue.

	The Rabbi's last public appearance was at the Jubilee conference organized by the World Chabad Center for Greeting Moshiach on the eve of 10 Shevat 5760. He spoke about the importance of pure faith in small children: "Unfortunately, today's children have never seen the Rebbe, and despite everything, they grow up as true mekusharim (connected ones) and believe with complete faith. Fine, we - we saw the Rebbe. But from where do they have these powers? It must be that these are very high souls, with most elevated powers. Otherwise, there is no explanation."

	His strong faith in the Rebbe as King Moshiach was also expressed during his illness when doctors ordered him to be confined to his bed. On the first Shabbat after his surgery, while he was in the hospital, ten students from the Central Tomchei Tmimim Yeshiva at 770 came to pray Kabbalat Shabbat with the Rabbi in a minyan. Before they began praying, family members asked them to hurry the prayer somewhat, due to the Rabbi's condition. When they reached the end of "Lecha Dodi," the Rabbi signaled with his hand for them to do a 'Yechi' dance. When he noticed their hesitation, he rose from his chair and began dancing himself and singing 'Yechi Adoneinu.' The dancing continued for ten minutes, after which he returned to his bed completely exhausted. The effort was so great that after the prayer, the Rabbi was unable to make Kiddush and had to rest for two full hours. After he woke up, he told his family that this was a special prayer, and afterward made Kiddush.

	Indeed, his condition began to stabilize. Two months later, the illness attacked him again, this time much more severely, and he became bedridden. His last public appearance was on the eve of 10 Shevat 5760 (at an event celebrating fifty years of the Rebbe's leadership at 'Ohalei Torah' hall, where he gave an especially long speech of about forty-five minutes). After 10 Shevat, he could no longer leave his home, and the Temimim (yeshiva students) would organize minyanim in his house. From then on, the Rabbi's condition did not improve, and for eight months he suffered prolonged afflictions. The name 'Chaim' was added to his name.		Indeed, his condition began to stabilize.
