A couple of years ago a group of us from Anshei Lubavitch traveled first what would be the first of many trips to visit the resting place of the Rebbe’s father, Harav Reb Levi Yitzchak Schneerson. We learned more about his life, his story, and his otherworldly self-sacrifice. And of course, we studied from his Torah writings. Today, on the 82nd Yahrtzeit anniversary of this great and holy man, it’s a perfect time to refresh our knowledge about all of this, and recommit ourselves to live our lives with this level of commitment, without compromise, and without fear or doubt. L’chaim, may we merit to witness even today the fulfillment of the promise,והקיצו ורננו שוכני עפר, and a world filled with only revealed goodness and G-dliness! Amen! Special thanks to @JewishMedia
