Gimmel Tammuz

Today, the 3d of Tammuz, is the anniversary of the passing of the contemproary Lubavitcher Rebbe, the Jewish leader who inspired more people to return to traditional Jewish observance than any other contemporary Jewish leader. Chabad.org has a special section for this occasion. You might find this account of a young Rabbi's meeting with the Rebbe worthwhile. If you are into chess, you might enjoy this. You might also want to see what is going on at your local Chabad house or Chabad center, probably some free event that involves inspiration and vodka.
