The 3rd day of the Hebrew month of Tammuz, this year corresponding to July 3, is the ninth yahrzeit of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory.

On this day (and preceding and following days) tens of thousands will flock to the Rebbe's resting place, the Ohel, located in Queens, New York, as per Jewish tradition. Communities worldwide will mark this day with increased Torah study, and with intensified outreach activities.
