Special Photo Edition of the Rebbe in Honor of 3rd of Tammuz

Photo Courtesy: Chabad.org

Imagine the emotions of a Chassid standing in the Rebbe’s presence. As Gimmel Tammuz approaches, the Avner Institute and CrownHeights.info would like to present a beautiful and heartfelt article, written by Jay Litvin a”h, shortly after Gimmel Tammuz 1994. Jay served as the medical liaison for Chabad’s Children of Chernobyl Program; he passed away in April of 2004, after a valiant four-year battle against severe illness, and is survived by his wife, Sharon, and their seven children.

Included is a collection of unique pictures of the Rebbe – special thanks to the Rebbe Archive. This article is dedicated to Meir ben Avraham Pesach Kirschenbaum, who passed away on Gimmel Tammuz 5743; and to the Shluchim Rabbi Gabi Holtzberg and his wife, Rivky, HY”D, who were murdered in their Chabad House during the Mumbai attacks. To learn more about the Rebbe Visit Portraitofaleader.org.
