One Hundred Dollar Bill from the Lubavitcher Rebbe – For Research on the Frierdicker Rebbe's Trip to Boston

One-hundred-dollar bill received from Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneersohn – the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
The bill was given to R. Shaul Shimon Deutsch, who wrote in the margins (in pen): "From the Rebbe – Research on the Frierdicker Rebbe's trip to Boston".


Some two years after his release from the Soviet prison (12th-13th Tammuz 1927) and moving to Riga (Tishrei 1927), the Rayatz travelled to the United States. Towards the end of his visit, the Rayatz paid a two week visit to Boston (19th Sivan-3rd Tammuz 1930), during the course of which he held meetings with leaders and politicians, received people for private audiences, convened meetings and hitvaaduyot and delivered sermons before the large crowds which gathered in the Beit El and Ahavat Yeshurun synagogues.
The 2nd July issue of the Yiddish newspaper Morgen Journal describes the Rayatz's visit in Boston: "The visit of the Rebbe of Lubavitch in Boston was a huge spiritual success. Beginning from the first reception… on 15th June until the farewell on 29th June, each of his appearances was met with a huge audience. His residence on 104 Crawford St. was, from the moment he arrived until he left, a central place for all those who turned to him. Young and old, rich and poor, Chassidic and Mitnagdim, all came to see the rebbe of Lubavitch and hear Chassidic teachings from him or his son-in-law R. Gurary" (Yiddish).
