The Rebbe also held a farbrengen on Pesach Sheni, though it was a brief one that ended when he needed to visit his mother in the evening as was his daily custom. On Lag BaOmer, the Rebbe held two farbrengens - one with a group of Anash who had managed to leave Russia after Pesach and were staying at the 'Prima' hotel, and another at the Pletzl synagogue where he tearfully lamented that while previous Rebbes had outstanding chassidim who were immersed in Torah study and divine service, his father-in-law had to occupy himself with teaching young children their ABCs.
