200 people attended a fascinating lecture about the relationship between the Rebbe and Rabbi Yosef Ber Soloveitchik, “the Rav” of Yeshiva University (YU).

Rabbi Yisroel Edelman, leader of Congregation Young Israel in Deerfield Beach, Florida, organized the event held at Century Village, a local seniors retirement community where many are YU alumni.

Among the participants was Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski, the noted Chasidic psychiatrist and author of over 80 books. Rabbi Twerski was visiting and was happy to join, having endorsed Dalfin’s first book “Your Better Self.”

Emceeing the evening was Mr. Yitzchak Waxman who sponsors the Thursday night lecture series in memory of his late wife.

Waxman noted that he had contact with the Rebbe at various times, among them when he was on the board of directors of the national Young Israel movement back in the 1970s.

Dalfin’s hour-long lecture included history, stories and ideology and it was followed by a question and answer session, which revealed more interesting details of the Rav and Rebbe.

After the formal part of the event was over, participants enjoyed refreshments and a book signing by the author. This was the first stop of Dalfin’s two-week book tour in Florida and Georgia.
