Farbrengens Audio Restored

As part of its Living Archive Preservation Project, JEM has released a DVD with over 50 hours of newly restored audio of Farbrengens of the Rebbe.

The selected Farbrengens from the three months of Menachem Av, Elul and Tishrei of the years 5711-5728 (1951-1968) have been extracted from original recordings.

Rabbi Sholom Yisroel Hodakov, son of the Rebbe’s chief of staff, recorded the Farbrengens on reel-to-reel audio. It has now been meticulously preserved by experts.

“There were many words or sections of the Farbrengens that you couldn’t catch on the old versions,” said Mendel Gourarie, of The Living Archive, which has underwritten the restoration project.

“We’ve been updating and cleaning up the Farbrengens from the original reels, and these new versions really create a whole new piece. They are far superior in quality to the old.”

The DVD is available for $15 to registered users of JEM’s Sichos Kodesh on ipod and for $30 to non-registered.

The DVD comes with instructions on how to install into your ipod and delete the old audio files from your set. Alternatively, JEM can handle the ipod loading for you, please email clitvin@jemedia.org
