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.
