Rebbe
“All sevens are precious.” The seventh generation is the culmination of a royal dream.
“I have come to My garden…” With these words, the Rebbe changed the face, heart, and soul of the universe, laying out a plan for us to fulfill our divine purpose here on earth of transforming the wilderness into a divine garden. Born on 11 Nisan 5662 (1902), the Rebbe succeeded his father in law, the Freideker Rebbe, as the sventh Chabad Rebbe on 10 Shvat 1950. The Rebbe empowered every human being to be a Shliach, an ambassador for light and truth. The Rebbe articulated in tens of thousands of talks, discourses, conversations, audiences, and letters the deepest truths of heaven in the most relatable terms of earth. On 3 Tammuz 5754 (1994) the brilliant sun that is the Rebbe was suspended in the heavens.
