The Ultimate Victory for the Previous Rebbe: Russian President Prays for Redemption at the Western Wall.

"....the redemption of Yud-Beis Tammuz left its impact not only on the lives of Lubavitcher chassidim, nor only on those devoted to the study of the Torah, nor only on the religiously obser­vant. For the ripples of change produced by Yud-Beis Tam­muz are unbounded in scope, influencing the future of our entire people."

                                    -The Rebbe MhM

In 1927 by a miracle, the Soviet Union first nullified a death sentence, then a prison sentence, and then commuted a decree of exile for the Previous Rebbe. His crime was keeping the flame of Yiddishkeit burning with particular attention to the education of children. Soon thereafter, with the help of the U.S. government, he came to America where he laid the groundwork for the final Redemption. The fruits of his superhuman defiance of the Soviet regime can be seen in this visit by Russian President
Putin to the Western Wall to pray for the restoration of the Holy Temple.The timing was right before the 84th anniversary of the Previous Rebbe's release on the 12th & 13th of the Hebrew month of Tammuz (this year July 2 & 3).
