Vov Tishrei: Marking 60 Years
On Vov Tishrei 5750, the Rebbe spoke the following: “The Alter Rebbe writes in Iggeres HaKodesh that on the Yahrzeit of a Tzaddik, all the service which he carried out throughout his entire life is revealed and “brings about salvation in the depths of the earth.” The same concept applies in regard to every Jew, for every Jew has a particular mission which he must carry out within this world. The mission with which others are charged, however, is restricted to a limited scope, and therefore, the revelation at the time of their passing is also limited. In contrast, a Tzaddik is “the foundation of the world” and his service affects the entire world. Accordingly, the revelation connected with his passing “brings about salvation in the depths of the earth.”
“The service of my mother, whose yahrzeit is today, centered on her commitment of Mesirus Nefesh to help her husband spread Torah. The fact that we have the opportunity to study my father’s teachings in Pnimiyus HaTorah and Nigleh is due to her efforts. Throughout his entire life, she provided the supportive home environment that allowed him to function as a Rav and to produce his unique teachings.” (SIE transcript).
