The Lubavitcher Rebbe and a Jew in Florida

In 1970, Rabbi Sholom Ber Lipskar was sent to Florida as a Chabad emissary, where he serves as rabbi and director of The Shul in Bal Harbor. A member of his community, a champion tennis player, invited him to meet his wealthy friend Mr. Mel Landow. 

Bringing his Tefillin to the tennis courts began a relationship that lasted well beyond that first encounter. In fact, the impact of that meeting is still felt by hundreds of children today.
