The 3rd of Tamuz, observed this year on Thursday, June 18, marked the 32nd yahrtzeit (hilula) of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Known simply as “The Rebbe” to millions around the globe, he was the most influential Jewish leader in modern history, and arguably the most impactful rabbi of all time.
Through a worldwide network of emissaries serving in every corner of the globe, the Rebbe’s vision and teachings continue to touch the lives of millions.
