"Palace for the Rebbe King Moshiach" is an initiative, supported by the Rebbe, to build a palace for the Rebbe in Kfar Chabad.

== History ==

Rabbi Zusha Rivkin, a Chabad chassid from Kfar Chabad, initiated an idea to build a house for the Rebbe in Kfar Chabad. When his brother R' Chaim traveled to New York in 5738 (1978), he asked him to present this idea to the Rebbe.

R' Chaim entered into 'yechidus' (private audience) with the Rebbe and explained the idea. The Rebbe responded, "He wants to build a house for me in Kfar Chabad?" and immediately continued with a broad smile, making a decisive gesture with his holy hand - "A palace!" Later, the Rebbe continued and said, "But not as it is now. And meanwhile, he should wait."

Line 14:

Now Zusha had three possible locations in Kfar Chabad for building the palace. Zusha flew to the Rebbe, and on Friday, the 26th of Shevat, a few minutes before ten in the morning, the time when the Rebbe leaves his room for Shacharit prayer, he waited for the Rebbe near his room with an aerial photograph marking the possible locations for building the palace: near Beit Menachem, near the Tzeirei Chabad building in Israel, and near 770. The Rebbe received the photograph from R' Zusha's hand and immediately said: "May you have abundant livelihood!" After a few hours, the Rebbe issued (through his secretary Rabbi Yehuda Leib Groner) a response in which he circled the words from his letter: "near Beit Aguch" [=next to 770, Agudas Chassidei Chabad house].

Regarding the building of the palace, the Rebbe wrote to R' Shmuel Shmueli at the beginning of Adar Rishon 5752 (1992): "For some people, houses in different countries and especially in the Holy Land '''as is well-known''' and customary. The Mitteler Rebbe had a property in the Holy Land. To this day, there is a Schneersohn house in Hebron."
