Gimel Tamuz: the Individual Connection with the Rebbe
On this auspicious day of Gimmel Tammuz, a person might think; of what significance am I in the Rebbe’s “grand plan”? The Rebbe is investing in the potential of the Jewish nation as a whole to bring the Geula. As an individual person how do I fit into the picture? How much do I count?

Two weeks after the Previous Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn (1880-1950) passed away, my grandfather Reb Yochanan Gordon was in the synagogue at 770 Eastern Parkway, which houses Lubavitch World Headquarters. This was yet before the Rebbe had openly accepted the mantle of leadership. It was a mere two weeks after the Previous Rebbe's passing!
My Bubbe Zeesy had been seriously ill and the doctors didn't give her situation much hope. The Rebbe had already heard that she was sick when he met my zayde. “Reb Yochanon, I heard that your wife is not feeling well.” Zayde confirmed his suspicion. Then the Rebbe said, “Why don't you ask my father-in-law what to do?” Zayde said he had gone to the Previous Rebbe's resting place but did not know where to turn for guidance. The Rebbe told him, “Ask, ask. My father-in-law will surely find a way to answer you.”
