Eliyahu said, "The Rebbe jumped effortlessly from one Talmudic tractate to another, and from there to Kabbalah and then to Jewish law ... It was as if he had just finished studying these very topics from the holy books. The whole Torah was an open book in front of him".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mordechai |first=Rabbi |url=http://www.chabad.org/therebbe/article_cdo/aid/694406/jewish/Teacher-and-Leader-for-All-Jews.htm |title=Teacher and Leader for All Jews - Life |publisher=Chabad.org |access-date=November 13, 2013 |archive-date=November 13, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131113112143/http://www.chabad.org/therebbe/article_cdo/aid/694406/jewish/Teacher-and-Leader-for-All-Jews.htm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>Following his attendance at one such talk, Yitzchak Yedidya Frankel said "I have witnessed the magnificence of Polish Jewry ... and I have known most of the great scholars of recent generations.
