New York – The 16th “yahrtzeit” of the last Lubavitcher Rebbe will be marked around the globe Monday evening.

The Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, passed away on the 3rd day of Tammuz, 5754 (June 12, 1994), in New York City, more than two years after suffering a stroke that robbed him of the ability to speak or move his right side. He is considered to have been among the most influential and powerful Jewish personalities and leaders of modern times.
Thousands of students around the world are completing Mishnaic tractates, rabbinical literature and examinations of Jewish law studies in honor of the day.
Tens of thousands of people are expected to file through the stone structure over the Rebbe’s gravesite in Queens, NY Monday evening, to beseech G-d for blessings, seek spiritual inspiration and reflect on what the Rebbe’s life meant to them. Based on the experience of recent years, hundreds of thousands of faxes, letters and e-mails containing prayer requests will arrive at Chabad Headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, known simply as 770, to be read or placed at the resting place.
Although I am not a Lubavitcher Chosid, I and my wife deeply miss the Rebbe, he was a Great Man, someone who loved and cared for every Single Jew no matter how strayed, May he Daven for all of us before Hashem’s Throne…
Its not just chabad that celebrate…there are some other chassidus and misnagdim who also have some respect for the rebbe, Z’tl.
i’ll be going to the ohel tomorrow for G Tammuz, It’s probably going to be ver pact, but very worth it.
Coming in from Montreal, IYH.
Rebbe, we miss you!!
We need you more than ever now!!
Please demand from Hashem to bring Moshiach immediately!!
TO VINNEWS: Maybe write that you can FAX it to 718-723-4444. or email it to [email protected].
Who ever needs a yeshuah on any aspect goes there to be mispalel, he used to help when he was with us and so he helps us when he is in haven
If you can not make it to the ohel you can email or fax a letter to be put at the ohel see ohel.com for info. Rabosai i personally know of many mofsim miracles and yeshuos people have seen after going to the ohel… Also there is igrot.com in which you can ask thru the Rebbes letters.. May we all be zoche to kul tuv and the geulah amen
I’m going today, I can’t go tomorrow. I miss the Rebbe so much, but we have his words to guide us. 16 years. Such a long time to feel lost.
Rebbe we need you!

With all due respect. What you wrote about tefillos and kvitlech is accurate HOWEVER your reference to the Rebbe as “Rabbi Schneerson Z”L (without the T in the middle) and reference as “your Rebbe” and the rest of your narishe comments shmeks of CHUTZPA to a Tzadik Yesoid Oilam whom like it or not was your Rebbe too because he loved and davened even for chutzpaniaks with attitudes as youself. Being that his Yartzeit is tonight I would suggest that if your are a local to go to his Ohel un bet mechila!
I’m sorry you never experienced it.
im a misnagid but i still think every person if you consider your self jewish you should go ask for a blessing. ..
To those saying that you can’t demand from Hashem:
Believe me, Hashem wants us out of galus more than we can imagine as it says – K’shegalu Yisroel Shechinah Imahem – Hashem is with us in this bitter galus. I’m not sure what’s the exact phrase but,”Kol Mah Shebaalbayis Omer Aseh CHUTZ Mitzai!! whatever a Baal bayis tells you to do you should do exept for leave, we want to be by hashems home-the Beis Hamikdash! And yes, we demand that moshiach should come. When we say: “We Want Moshiach Now!” were in other word saying – “We want Hashem revealed to us!”
As we know the Baal shem tov would ask yidden how they are to get the “B”H” out of their mouths. When we say “Moshiach now!” demanding from hashem moshiach
We are saying – we want hashem revealed in this world. anotherwards we want to unite with hashem. Now check out Yeshayohu, perek nun, posuk beis – “Why have i come and theres no man, i called out and theres no answer?,is my hand my hand too short to redeem?” hashem wants to hear our voices demanding that we want moshiach and geulah now!
Moshiach Now!
a lubavitcher
Why is the word “yahrtzeit” in qoutes? The author(s) say he passed away- so why are they afraid of saying yahrtziet? Strange and disturbing.
a frai person once asked hashem to give him a sign who the moshe rabenu of the dor is and a minute later a shliach of the rebbe walks in and starts explaining how the rebbe sent him. please learn more about the rebbe b4 u reply.
If anyone who is 50 years plus and will take an honest look at how the ahavas yisroel/kiruv rechokim has been transformed to what it is today as well as the hundreds of communities that have sprung forth wih mikvaos and kosher esrablishments etc. will realize the contribution the Rebbe gave and continues as inspiration to our generation. Our post holocaust generation without the Rebbes leadership would in my opinion be very different. I know because going through the yeshiva system I remember well how kiruv was viewed then and slowly but surly despite all the criticisim of Lubavitch the Rebbes approach to ahavas yisroel became the norm. It pains me to read or hear the lack of hakaros hatov and kovod that the Rebbe deserves
listen i know what the rebbe accomplished and i did not make up stories or lies the rebbe in sichos said that the previos rebbe was nossi hador u can look it up in sichos. if u want mor details of the stories. the shliachs name was gutnick and the frai yid who is today frums name is hasofer his grandson lives in crown heights the other story happened in brazil and was told over by a shliach named schwartz. once again. if u dont know at least learn some sichos and maamorim b4 u answer back and im sorry if it came out that the rebbe is not a tzadik if he is in your mind not nossi hador or that he cant have ruach hakodesh or give answers trough igress kodesh or that your education was to hat lubavitch. i realy am. i just meant to say that u should find out more about the rebbe and learn his sichos.
three phrases gave me agmas nefesh and i hope you will believe me as ima yid like u r:
“your rebbe”
“the rebbe did not see the future”
alleged miracles throgh the igres kodesh.
the first and second your not intrested in hearing so ill go to the third. please forget what i said before and listen.
igres kodesh is a set of around 30 chalakim with the letters the rebbe wrote in the first 25 years of his nesius. they r brachos advice and answers to questions and problems. im not intrested in making this up. if u have a problem u can write a serious letter to the rebbe and randomly put it in any page of igre kodesh. in one of the letters on the page you will have your answer. its not a joke many people have tried it. its not kishuv. its simly the rebbe finding his way of giving u an answer to your question. to find out more about this you can find people who have tried it and got an answer. the rebbe himself said that a rebbe can answer through his sfarim. and i hope u hold no more grudges against me. thank u and hatzlacha!
