On the day of a Tzaddik’s Yahrtzeit, all the deeds that he performed during his lifetime shine brightly.
His teachings, commitments, and all his achievements are brought to bear in a special way. This is even more emphasized by the Rebbe; someone who dedicated his entire life to inspiring and uplifting the Jewish people in their service of Hashem.
This Shabbos, marking this day, is an auspicious time for those connected to the Rebbe, to pray for blessings of abundant and revealed goodness. Of course, the way to connect to the Rebbe, is to live and internalize his teachings and directions.
Since Gimmel Tammuz, we have witnessed the effectiveness of multimedia in preserving and furthering the Rebbe’s message. Through these photos and videos, we can share these experiences even with those who never saw or heard the Rebbe during his lifetime.

Likuttei Sichos chelek daled pg 1315 says: It’s understood that 3 Tamuz has — in may aspects — a greater joy than in 12-13 Tamuz. It also says there: Chasidim shall celebrate (לחוג) the day of 3 Tamuz. (See there in detail.)
The “chasidisher hergeishim”, like those mentioned in this article, can be wonderful, but 1,000 hergeishim can never substitute ONE thing the Rebbe said.
For everyone else, and for every other tzaddik or Nosi or Rebbe. But for the person who said “our generation” is the generation of geula, and for the person who purportedly was to lead all to geula, and or the person who was not to experience any hefsek between life and geula, and for the person who was to live – without pshetlach – chayim nitzchim, such perspectives and accolades and customs are hevel and rik, as he said himself.
