|  Dear Friend, Chof Av (20 Av) is a day that was very dear to the Rebbe's heart. On this day in 1944, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson, the Rebbe's saintly father, passed away while in exile for spreading Torah Judaism in Soviet Russia.
Reb Levik, as he was known, was the chief rabbi of Yekaterinoslav, a kabbalist, a prolific writer, and a devoted chassid of the Rebbe Rashab. Many stories are told about him, and the Rebbe spoke about him on many occasions, drawing lessons from his life story, and expounding on his teachings.
Presented here is a unique presentation, created this year, that provides a glimpse into the story of Reb Levik's life. The video features a firsthand story of Reb Levik, as well as highlights of Chof Av by the Rebbe - leading the prayers in his father's memory, singing his father's niggun, and drawing a lesson from his exile.
