The Rebbe used to give a brocha to the Tmimim in the upstairs shul in 770 just before Kol Nidrei. It is a custom for fathers to bless their children on erev Yom Kippur and the Rebbe considered the bochrim to be his children. This was a not to be missed occasion and the room was packed to the rafters - quite literally.
This wonderful video came to me via Menachem K (see his blog of interesting stories of the Rebbe here).
Gmar Chasima Tova and have an easy fast.
