| Video Discription | Tens of thousands of Chasidic Jews flocked to Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood to pay tribute to Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who died here early Sunday morning at the age of 92. A monumental figure in the modern-day Jewish world who headed the Chabad movement of Lubavitcher Chasidim, Schneerson was mourned by followers around the globe, many of whom believed him to be the Messiah. At Lubavitch headquarters in Brooklyn, thousands of mourners gathered Sunday afternoon under overcast skies to join the funeral procession to the cemetery in Queens where the rebbe was laid to rest. Known to hundreds of thousands of followers worldwide as simply "the rebbe," Schneerson was seventh in a line of Lubavitch rabbis dating back to 18th century Russia. He left no heirs to assume leadership over the fervently Orthodox movement he headed for 44 years. As a result, the rebbe's death leaves a gaping leadership vacuum in the Lubavitch movement, which claims hundreds of thousands of followers worldwide, as well as Chabad outreach centers across the globe. Schneerson had been hospitalized last February after suffering repeated seizures stemming from a stroke he had in 1992, which paralyzed the right side of his body and left him bedridden and unable to communicate. On March 10, Schneerson suffered a second stroke, which doctors said "seriously weakened" the left side of his body. Though officials of the Lubavitch movement were characteristically optimistic about the rebbe's condition in his final weeks, when he lay unconscious supported by a respirator, they were forced to concede that his condition had deteriorated. During the week preceding his death, the rebbe had suffered kidney failure. At 7 p.m. Saturday, he went into cardiac arrest, but his condition was later stabilized. At 12:55 a.m. Sunday, the rebbe suffered a second cardiac arrest. He was pronounced dead at 1:50 a.m. [_Wyk3olzIns] |
