On the morning of the holiday of Shemini Atzeret in 1977, Dr. Ira Weiss was called on his emergency line for a most urgent matter.

In this fascinating lecture, Dr. Weiss tells the dramatic story of the Rebbe’s sudden heart attack and the process of his recovery. As he describes his experience as the Rebbe’s cardiologist, he shares a glimpse into the Rebbe’s personal life and character. He speaks about his continued relationship with the Rebbe and Rebbetzin and his impressions of their remarkable personalities.

This lecture took place at the 9th annual National Jewish Retreat. For more information and to register for the next retreat, visit: Jretreat.com.
