This is an important date in the history of Chabad. On this day, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Shneerson, the seventh Chabad Rebbe, took upon himself the leadership.
To commemorate this auspicious day, a large celebratory gathering was held in the central synagogue Chabad Lubavitch on Sunday, January 24, 2021 (Shvat 11, 5781) .
Even during times of the pandemic, modern technology allowed everyone who was gathered to listen to an inspiring lecture from Rabbi Shimon Ash, Chabad emissary to Kazakhstan.
