A Ten-Dollar Bill from the Lubavitcher Rebbe – For Supporters of the Gemach in Antwerp - This meaningful and spiritually significant ten-dollar bill was originally received from the holy hands of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, by a distinguished shliach (emissary) serving in Antwerp, Belgium. The Rebbe instructed this shliach to distribute the ten-dollar bills to individuals who had offered their support—whether financial or through acts of service—to the local Gemach (charity fund) operating in Antwerp. A Gemach (short for Gemilut Chasadim, acts of loving-kindness) is a central institution in Jewish communal life, offering financial aid, food, clothing, and essential support to those in need. The ten-dollar bill given in this context served as more than symbolic—it carried with it the blessing of the Rebbe for the donor’s participation in this sacred mission of communal kindness and charity. This specific bill was received from one of the heads of the Gemach in Antwerp, who had himself received it directly from the Rebbe. It was then given to a Chassid who contributed to the Gemach, recognizing his generosity and his merit in upholding this vital organization. Written on the ten-dollar bill in Hebrew by the recipient are the words: ”מכ”ק אדמו”ר שליט”א לגמ”ח באנטווערפן” —”From the honor and holiness of the Rebbe Shlit”a, for the Gemach in Antwerp”— clearly indicating both the source and sacred intent of this bill. This ten-dollar bill serves as a testament to the Rebbe’s deep involvement in acts of chesed (kindness), and his desire to encourage generosity and support for those in need, wherever they may be.
