Your Moment With the Rebbe via the Canonist

So, you know how the Lubavitcher Rebbe used to hand out dollars to people? If you don’t here’s a summary:

Each Sunday since 1986, the Rebbe would stand tirelessly in a small room near his office as thousands of people filed past to see him and receive his blessing. To each of them the Rebbe gave a dollar bill, appointing them as his agent to give it to the charity of their choice.

Well, a lot of those are videotaped, and now they’ve been broken down into time-stamped snapshots uploaded to this database. You can go there and claim your moment; you can also obtain the actual video of your moment (the site doesn’t provide it to the public because it feels the comments exchanged are private). Pretty interesting.
