Inspiring the Jewish American Revolution
Celebrating Rebbe's 1941 Arrival in America
After narrowly escaping the Nazi onslaught in France, the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994), and his wife, Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson (1901-1988), arrived to the United States of America on the 28th day of the Jewish month of Sivan in the year 5701 (1941).
The Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe appointed his newly arrived son-in-law to head the social and educational outreach programs of Chabad-Lubavitch. Thus began the Rebbe’s decades-long revolutionary work to revitalize Jewish life in the Western Hemisphere and across the globe.
Recalling the Rebbe's Arrival on American Shores Morale was low, assimilation was on the rise, and the future looked bleak. The Rebbe taught us to turn it all around.

Sivan 28: An American at Sinai The Day the Rebbe and Rebbetzin Arrived in the U.S.A.
If it were not for what happened on the 28th of Sivan in 1941, I'm not really sure where my conscious connection to my Jewishness would have come from. If my Jewishness lies over the sea, I am scared to think what would have become of me.
