.

Then the Rebbe referred to the address at the Kiryas Joel and Surrounding Areas Community Assembly, saying that the talk of the day was what had been said about Monsey, and expressed that "yes, there are two kinds of Monsey": there is an elevated Monsey and there is a weak Monsey.

Even though the severity of the matter is so great, teshuva together with tefillah helps for everything.
