Over 7,500 men, women and children gathered on Eastern Parkway Sunday evening for a mega unity event to mark the upcoming 25th year since Gimmel Tammuz.
The spirit of unity was felt in the air as thousands watched videos of the Rebbe‘s farbrengens together and joined in heartfelt niggunim with singer Benny Friedman and Chazan Aryeh Leib Hurwitz, and the Lubavitcher Yeshiva Boys Choir.
The crowd left the event inspired and uplifted, with a true feeling of connection to the Rebbe, and in the spirit of “sheves achim gam yachad.”
