Thousands of chassidim – men, women, and children gathered Monday evening in front of Lubavitch World Headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights for a “Global Rebbe Event.”
The hour-long program for which part of the parkway was closed off by police was dedicated in honor of Gimmel Tammuz and brought together members of the local community and beyond.
The crowd at the special sections for men and women stood or sat as the Rebbe’s image was seen on large screens and attentively watched a farbrengen that was originally held within 770 itself.
Many more joined the unity event via broadcast on COLlive.com, connecting the people present with those who couldn’t make it to New York for Gimmel Tammuz.
The program began with boys and girls reciting the 12 Pesukim alongside a video by the Maor children’s. It was followed by the main special video presentation of Sichos and Niggunim.
“Standing now over 20 years since Gimmel Tammuz, we know that the Geula is indeed imminent, very soon, we will merit to hear a Farbrengen once more,” organizers told COLlive. “This event will prepare us for that most auspicious day.”
Organizers thanked the event’s sponsors COLlive.com, Maor Rebbe Video, The PrintHouse, Sushi Spot and Spotlight Design.
