| Dear Herschel, Today, Sunday, June 13, marks twenty seven years since the passing of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory.
I will be in New York, joining many thousands of people from across the globe who will be visiting the Rebbe's holy resting place in prayer on this auspicious day, as is customary when we commemorate the Yartzeit of a righteous person.
It would be an honor to mention you (and your family), in prayer as well, at the Rebbe's "Ohel." If you'd like, please e-mail me your name and your mother's name (preferably the Hebrew or Yiddish names - if you know them), and those of anyone else you would like to be mentioned, I would be glad to have them in mind as well. If there's a specific need you would like me to pray for, please mention it as well.
May all our prayers be fulfilled.
We've posted lots of information to help you learn more about the Rebbe - his devotion to G-d and the Jewish people, his deep caring for each human being, and glean insight into his teachings. The Rebbe would frequently insist that even the loftiest of thoughts must be translated into actual deed. Please join with countless others on this special day in learning something extra, reciting an additional prayer, and giving some extra charity. Let us also try and apply some of the Rebbe's care and selfless dedication to our own interaction with family, friends and total strangers. There can be no more fitting tribute to the Rebbe than millions of good deeds, mitzvot, performed on his day. May G-d help us that in the merit of our collective acts of goodness we quickly greet our righteous Moshiach, at which time we will be reunited with our beloved Rebbe and all our loved ones. Sincerely, Rabbi Meir Moscowitz |
