Chof Ches Sivan, the day the Rebbe and Rebbetzin reached the shores of the United States, in 5701 (1941), is greatly cherished by Chasidim worldwide. Escaping the inferno of Nazi-occupied Europe, it was on this day that the Rebbe and Rebbetzin arrived safely in the United States, disembarking the Serpa Pinto. Thus began the Rebbe’s decades-long revolutionary work to revitalize Jewish life in the Western Hemisphere.
In 1991, on the fiftieth anniversary of this special day, the Rebbe surprised Chasidim by distributing a kuntres titled: Kovetz Chof Ches Sivan – Yovel Shanim. This newly-published booklet included Sichos and Maamorim connected to 28 Sivan, and a brief review of the Rebbe and Rebbetzin’s escape from war-torn Europe, and their safe arrival in America. The Rebbe personally handed out the booklet to men, women, and children.

A bulk discount price of $3.39 per kovetz will be granted for orders of 60 and up. Call Kehos at 718-778-0226 ext. 1.
