On the 13th of Tammuz of 1927, the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, received the documents authorizing his release from a sentence of exile to Kastroma in the interior of Russia. The Rebbe was actually notified of his release on Tammuz 12, but since that day was a legal holiday, the Certificate of Release freeing him to travel home was issued only the next day. Thus both the 12th and 13th of Tammuz are celebrated as a "festival of liberation" by the Chabad-Lubavitch community. (For more on the Rebbe's arrest and liberation, "Today in Jewish History" for yesterday, Tammuz 12).
In Chabad practice, Tachanun (confession of sins) and similar prayers are omitted today.
Blind faith believes that which it is told, because it wants to believe.
Intellect believes that which it understands, because it wants to attain understanding.
Wisdom believes that which is true, because it is true.
Wisdom doesn’t have to fit that which some self-serving faith wishes to believe. Neither does it await the approval of intellect to say, “This can be understood.”
Wisdom is a power of vision, the power to see “that which is” without attempting to fit it into any mold. It is not blind at all, but it is nevertheless faith beyond reason. Because when you see the truth before you, all the reason in the world can't convince you otherwise.
Wisdom, therefore, is the only channel by which an Infinite G‑d may enter.
