This is the 150th year since the passing, on 13th Nissan, 5626 (1866), of the third Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn of Lubavitch (1789-1866), who was known by the name of his multi-volume Halachic-Talmudic magnum opus, Tzemach Tzedek.

He suggested that a fund be established supplying Shabbos and Yom Tov necessities to the needy. Hours later, CSSY – The Organization to Bring Joy on Shabbos and Yom Tov – was born.
