On the 27th of Adar I, 5752 (Monday, March 2, 1992), the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, suffered a disabling stroke while praying at the gravesite of the previous Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak of Lubavitch.
On the same date two years later, the Rebbe lost consciousness following another stroke; three months later, on the 3rd of Tammuz 5754 (June 12, 1994), the Rebbe’s soul ascended on high, orphaning a generation.
Relive some precious moments with the Rebbe produced by JEM:

No!! I cried as well.
the Rebbe explained numerous times that 3 tamuz is the day on which the geula began, albeit in a covert way. in the past we haven’t been able to fully celebrate 3 tamuz for the yom tov that it is but i don’t think the rebbe considers it to be the worst day. iy”H we should celebrate the completion of the geula process long before gimmel tamuz 5775, immediately now!

Not sad. Devastating, tragic and a calamity. Second worst day on chanad calendar. Second only to gimmul tammuz.
It’s not a sad day, it’s simply what was meant to be. Moshiach coming soon, so do not fear.
so so beautiful.
Anyone know who those people are? Ive seen the picture in hand and hand and numerous other times
