New Kovetz Highlights the Rebbe’s Emphasis in connection with Shloshim Shana
With Gimmel Tammuz Shloshim Shana approaching, bringing a mix of emotions, this year undoubtedly holds a different weight. As we bear witness to the Rebbe’s influence, message, and brachos growing stronger from year to year, the yearning to be physically united with the Rebbe intensifies. As we know from the Rebbe’s words, this is a time to strengthen our Hiskashrus to the Rebbe and a unique opportunity to rededicate ourselves to the Rebbe’s directives and mission.
Drawing from the Rebbe’s teachings, we understand that each year on the Yom HaHilulo, the Rebbe — and everything the Rebbe achieved throughout the nesius — are elevated immeasurably higher than before. Concurrently, there is an outpouring of Hashem’s brachos and yeshuos showered upon the world on this holy day, and this impacts especially those who are connected to the Rebbe and who carry on his work.
While this is true every year, it has special significance this year. In conjunction with the Frierdiker Rebbe’s thirtieth Yom HaHilulo on Yud Shevat 5740, the Rebbe quoted and explained the words in Yechezkel “it came to pass in the thirtieth year … the heavens opened up, and I saw visions of G-d.” Yechezkel merited the vision of the Merkava after thirty years.
The Rebbe explained that after thirty years, a new period begins, one which is on a level that is much higher than the previous one. “Vayehi b’shloshim shana” means that the same revelation that we experience each year descends in a renewed and incomparably intense manner.
In light of this, as Chassidim around the world seek ways to prepare for this special time, Vaad Or Vechom Hahiskashrus presents a special collection of Sichos and Michtovim titled “Hilulo D’vayehi B’shloshim Shana.” The collection consists of Sichos and Michtovim highlighting the Rebbe’s emphasis on thirty-year milestones in general and specifically in connection with the day of the Hilulo.

With the hope that Moshiach will be here long before the day of Gimmel Tammuz and we will be reunited with the Rebbe physically teikef umiyad mammash.
