The Lubawitcher Rebbe seriously ill from a complication of ailments aggravated by overwork, has been brought to Berlin from Riga for medical treatment.
Complete rest has been prescribed by his Berlin physicians who express the opinion that he will be sufficiently recovered within a few weeks to resume some of his activities.
The Rebbe’s condition is ascribed in part to his considerable labors in connection with his studies, his Chassidic teachings and the extensive correspondence he has carried on.
