How close was the Rebbe to his brother, Yisrael Aryeh Leib?
Despite being four years apart in age and taking different life paths and interests, various testimonials show that they were quite close and fond of each other. Even as adult men they used to kbits around and would enjoy each other’s company for recreation and leisure. It’s interesting to note that while the rebbe worked as an electrical engineer in the Brooklyn Navy Yard for the sake of the war effort of World War II, and helped direct the engineering of America’s most famous warships at the time, it is said of his brother who was a giant physicist, that he was part of the team working on nuclear weapons. This latter rumor is shrouded in uncertainty as to the exact details of his involvement and on behalf of which country he was working on it for [i.e. England, Israel] although several testimonies exist of some connection he had to the nuclear project.
I accidentally ate Milchigs within six hours of being Fleishig. What is my Tikkun?
We find debate amongst the Poskim as to whether an Issur Derabanon which is done Beshogeg needs a Tikkun. Furthermore, for Ashkenazim, this is not even a rabbinical matter but a matter of custom and hence there is more reason to be lenient against requiring a Tikkun. Practically, if you desire, you can give 41 dollars or shekalim to Tzedaka, which is the numerical value of Chalav.
