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 (this year it begins July 8th in the evening until the night of July 9), 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:
