In a candid, no-holds-barred Farbrengen, Rabbi Simon Jacobson, Dean of the Meaningful Life Center, directly tackled the meaning of Gimmel Tammuz and what the Rebbe wants us to do today.

He spoke before a packed room of Anash community members of Toronto, Canada.

Topics covered by the farbrengen included: How are we to honor Gimmel Tammuz? Is the Rebbe with us? What is a Rebbe? The Rebbe’s battle with the greatest enemy of today: Complacency. How the Rebbe changed the world: Five revolutionary principles of the Rebbe.
