Shoshana Hoexter - Chabad.edu

Shortly after our wedding, my husband Shua and I set up an office area in our small newlywed apartment. Quickly surveying the programs on Shua's old computer from college, I came across an album of pictures, and one from four years earlier appeared on the screen. It was a picture of a large group of students at a Chabad on Campus National Student Shabbaton in New York, and despite the fact that I had yet to meet my future husband, I was in it.

Introduction for the Tenth of Shvat

1. The Tenth of Shvat is the day that the Previous Rebbe (the 6th Chabad leader) passed away in the year 1950.

The Tenth of Shvat is also the day that our Rebbe officially accepted the seat of leadership one year later (1951).

2. Some information about the Previous Rebbe:

The Previous Rebbe was named (Rebbe) Yoseph Yitzchak Schneersohn and he was the 6th Lubavitcher Rebbe. He was born in 1880 in Lubavitch, Belarus. At the age of fifteen he was appointed as the personal secretary of the 5th Lubavitcher Rebbe (his father Rebbe Sholom DovBer). At the age of seventeen he married a distant cousin (Nechama Dina Schneersohn). He was then appointed to be the first dean and head of the new network of Lubavitch Yeshivas (named Tomchei Tmimim) in the Russian empire.

Around 40 minutes after Shabbos a member of Anash in his late 50’s was struck by a car reversing on Carroll St between Troy and Schenectady. The driver of the car, a male Black, got out of the car and immediately called 911, other residents who witnessed the accident called Hatzalah who responded right away and treated the man for injuries to his legs and head.

He was then transported to Kings County Hospital for checkups and observation.

This is the second such incident where pedestrians were struck by reversing vehicles, when crossing one must always check both ways, especially when crossing in the middle of a block and outside of a crosswalk. And drivers must be careful to always look over their shoulder rather then just rely on their rear view mirrors as there are big blind spots in the rear view of a car.

(a) Yud Shvat:

The tenth of Shvat is the day on which our saintly master and teacher - R. Yosef Yitzchak, the sixth of the Rebbeim of Chabad - departed this world. Born on Yud-Beis Tammuz 5640 (1880), the Rebbe Rayatz succeeded to the leadership in the year 5680 (1920) and passed away at 8.45 a.m. on Shabbos Parshas Bo, on the tenth day of the eleventh month, Shvat. His resting place is in New York.[670]

(b) Letter of the Rebbe Shlita regarding the Yahrzeit:

By the Grace of G-d
Rosh Chodesh Shvat, 5711
Brooklyn, N.Y.

To Anash, to the students of Tomchei Temimim, and to those who have a bond or a relationship with my revered father-in-law the saintly Rebbe, of blessed memory:

G-d bless you all.
