Jonathan Urich tweeted tonight: "I'm trying to write and deleting everything I wrote, so I'll try again and maybe delete it soon. Today, 75 years ago, the Lubavitcher Rebbe took office. But he wasn't appointed 75 years ago. He was appointed ten minutes ago, and in five minutes, and fifteen minutes ago, and in two hours.
"I was at the 10th Shevat gathering tonight with Rabbi Or Ziv along with good friends, and I can't contain the longing for someone who is so present in life. So I tweeted at the end, and it means nothing.".
