On Friday night, Parashas Vayikra, 5727/1967, a group of elder Chassidim and mashpi?im went into a special yechidus to ask the Rebbe to take care of his health. The group included Rabbi Shmuel Levitin, Rabbi Moshe Dovber Rivkin, Rabbi Nissan Telushkin, Rabbi Yisroel Jacobson, Rabbi Eliyahu Simpson and Rabbi Schneur Zalman Duchman.

The group expressed their concern over the Rebbe's frequent visits to the Ohel [the resting-place of the Rebbe Rayatz], where it could get very cold. The Rebbe replied: ?But it would be impossible without [these visits]. I have to carry such a burden that you yourselves would say that we need a Rebbe. And when you say that the Ohel is cold, you can ask Rabbi Zalman Duchman, who visits the Ohel very often, and he would tell you that it is actually very warm over there ??
