When The Lubavitcher Rebbe Requested A Favor

For years, Rhoda Friedland was not able to have children. In 1950 - acting on their Rabbi’s advice - she and her husband visited the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, to seek a blessing. After the Previous Rebbe’s passing, with the blessing yet to materialize, she turned to the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneersohn, for help. While the Rebbe sent her to numerous Doctors for medical advice, he insisted on one thing throughout her ordeal: If the Previous Rebbe promised, then so it would be.
