Do Positive Deeds


On the yartzeit (anniversary of the passing) of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson in 1990, the Rebbe encouraged the following: "The yahrzeit should, as is Jewish custom, be connected with deeds undertaken in memory of the departed. The Hebrew expression for this intent, l'ilui nishmat, means 'for the ascent of the soul.' Our deeds help elevate the soul of the departed. Then, the higher levels that the soul reaches, are drawn down and influence this world....Also, it is proper that gifts be given to charity in multiples of 470, the numerical equivalent of the Rebbetzin's name.


In memory of Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg and the other kedoshim of Mumbai
