Click on image to enlarge

The picture was taken in front of the Boyaner Kloiz on East Broadway in Manhattan @ the levaya of R' Shlomo Hornshtein who was a descendant of R' Shmuel of Lubavitch (Mahara"sh) and brother of the Lubavitcher Rebbe's brother in law who had been killed in WWII. The Boyanner Rebbe was having difficulty to make it down the staircase. So the Lubavitcher Rebbe asked his Gabo'im if it was permissible to help the Boyaner Rebbe walk down the stairs. When they answered in the affirmative, he ran very quickly and went to hold his arm to support him.

It is interesting to note that the Lubavitcher Rebbe would give Shalach Monos to only 3 people every Purim. A Cohen, a Levi and a Yisroel. The boyaner Rebbe would be the Yisroel all the years till 5730. In5731 the Rebbe had passed away already.
