Today, the 3rd of Tammuz, Jews across the globe commemorate the “Rebbe’s Day” – the 31st anniversary of the passing of the great Tzaddik, the Leader of our generation, the Seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
What was the Rebbe’s mission? What did he expect from the Jews who met him or his emissaries? Is it even possible to be connected to the Rebbe without being one of his official shluchim (emissaries)? Learn more about the Rebbe’s incredible outreach to world Jewry in this special video, produced by the YouTube channel “Lubavitcher Rebbe,” now available with Russian voiceover for the 30th anniversary of Gimmel Tammuz:

On this day, it is customary in Chabad communities around the world to hold special gatherings — Torah classes, study sessions, farbrengens, and kinusim. It is also traditional to write a pidyon nefesh — a heartfelt letter to the Rebbe requesting a blessing — and have it placed at his Ohel in Queens, New York.
