The Rebbe was makpid to immerse in the mikvah an additional time before Mussaf. As Kedushah of Mussaf approached, a tremendous sense of eimah v'pachad was visibly apparent on the Rebbe. When he reached the word "Keser," he would cry it out with a resounding roar, leaving a profound impression on everyone present. At times, he would linger on the word for an extended period, as if he simply could not let it go.

During the recitation of Atah Yatzarta in Mussaf of Shabbos Rosh Chodesh, the Rebbe was unable to hold back his tears when saying the words describing the sins that brought about the churban Beis HaMikdash. A deep yearning for the day when Klal Yisroel will once again return to the Beis HaMikdash and offer korbanos on the mizbeiach could be heard clearly in his voice. That profound longing, the bitter weeping, the trembling voice, the tremendous hisragshus, and the holy dveykus — this was the Rebbe b'sifarto.
