In the forenoon, the Rebbe shlit"a held a telephone conference with the rabbanim of the Committee for the Rescue of Ukrainian Jewry, and discussed further actions for the rescue of our fellow Jews. The Rebbe also sent a huge sum of money, which one of the community members had handed over privately to the Rebbe for the major campaign, explaining that he had saved the money to buy various expensive items, but he wished to give it instead for the rescue of our fellow Jews.

It was also announced that this coming Sunday, Parshas Tzav, there will be special times for private entry for all those who wish to have the merit of handing the Rebbe shlit"a a holy pidyon of $1,800 and up for the rescue of Ukrainian Jewry, from 8:00 to 9:00 in the evening, in his private room in the Beis Medrash HaGadol.
