1993

At the end of the hallway at the main entrance to Lubavitch World Headquarters in Brooklyn, is a small office not even ten-by-ten. You would not have known from the room's simplicity that the man who occupied it was one of the prime architects of the post-war renaissance of Jewish life.

Rabbi Chaim Mordechai Aizik Hodakov, Chief of Staff of the office of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson for more than 40 years, passed away Friday night, April 23, after a brief illness. He was 91 years old.
