This Tuesday, April 3, 2012 (Nissan 11 on the Hebrew calendar), marks 110 years since the birth of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory. In honor of this milestone, we offer the articles and videos below to provide some insight into the significance of this special day.
Throughout his leadership, the Rebbe marked his birthday by redoubling his efforts to reach out to Jews in every corner of the world. As Passover approaches, let’s heed the Rebbe’s call to gather the entire Jewish nation at the Seder table.
May this day bring blessings to us all, and may we be reunited with the Rebbe very soon with the coming of our righteous Moshiach.
