Yud Shevat

I had a little computer time this morning and I should have posted something then because it is a little late to be doing it now, but I don't want Yud Shevat to come and go without something on the blog noting it. Yud Shevat is the yahrtzeit of the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe and the day when the contemporary Lubavitcher Rebbe assumed the position of Rebbe. I just got back from a farbrengen, a chassidic gathering, in honor of this occasion. The Chabad.org blog comments:

For the Rebbe’s countless followers and admirers, this is a day for introspection and recommitment to the ideals that the Rebbe championed throughout the decades of his leadership: love of G-d, Torah, and every Jew; and utilizing these tools to bring holiness and meaning to every corner of the world.
