CHABAD.ORG(REBBE.ORG) The Prevailing Power of Holiness A federal court’s ruling and the everlasting celebration of ‘Hei Teves’ By Asher Deren

Date: “Hei Teves” — 5 Tevet, 5747 (Jan. 6, 1987) Place: Eastern Parkway in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y. Time: 11:30 a.m. “I was in the dining room at the yeshivah when word came that the judge ruled in our favor. We quickly raced up Kingston Avenue, where we joined friends who had already broken into instantaneous dance. It is impossible to describe the feeling of pure joy that we experienced on that day. Never in my life have I experienced such simchah.”
