Next Monday is Yud Shevat, the yahrtzeit of the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe. It is also the day when, in 1951, the seventh Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson(1902–1994), of righteous memory, formally accepted the leadership of Chabad-Lubavitch. I will be making a trip to NY and visiting the Ohelon this special day. If you would like me to include your Hebrew name and mother's name and any request for a blessing I will include in my prayers. This may done for any friends and family as well.
