What To Do On the Anniversary of the Rebbe’s Passing
|
Dear Friends,
On the anniversary of a tzadik’s passing, all the light that he planted in this world—his teachings, good deeds, and everything in which he invested his life and being—all this shines brightly, so that anyone connected to him can receive blessings of life, happiness and wisdom.
How should we spend such a day? How do we make that connection?
On the anniversary of his passing (June 22), let's celebrate the Rebbe's vision. Let's honor his life's mission to bring goodness and kindness into this world. Let's do one more mitzvah, one more good deed, to make this world a better place.
Here are six simple suggestions:

Pray
Some have a custom to light a Yahrzeit candle for th Rebbe. This is done at the onset of the Yahrzeit, this year Wednesday eve, June 21 through Thursday night, June 22.
It is very meaningful to light Shabbat candles on time (or a little early). In NYC Candle lighting time for Friday before the Yarzeit, June 16 at 8:11 pm and Friday after the Yahrzeit, June 23 at 8:13 pm.
Even if you don’t regularly attend services, try to get to join us for services at the Chabad House.
