His return to Montreal came at the heartfelt plea of his daughter Rivkah, who wrote, "I cannot live any longer without you." Her son Aaron Chaiton noted that "You never saw respect for a father like my mother had."

== ~~Legacy and Impact~~ ==

== Connection to Lubavitch ==

During World War II, when nine Lubavitcher students arrived in Montreal via Shanghai as refugees, Shano finally fulfilled his dream of spending time with chassidim in Montreal. He was particularly moved by their joyous celebration of Simchas Torah in 1942 at the Nusach Ari shul, where the refugees, despite not knowing the fate of their families, danced with incredible joy and performed acrobatic feats. That evening, watching Rabbi Moshe Elya Gerlitzky give a drasha and then return to dancing with renewed vigor, Shano told his son-in-law Noteh Rosenblum, "I like him. He is full of energy. You should take him for a son-in-law. If need be, you should sell your last shirt for him to be part of your family." After they established the first full-time yeshivah, he sent his youngest grandson, Aaron Chaiton, to study there.
