The 2nd 3rd of Nissan Yahrtzeit of the Rebbe Rashab and the Beginning of Previous Rebbe's Leadership

INTRODUCTION

The Rebbe Rashab (the fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe) passed away in Rostov on the 2nd of Nissan, 5680 (1920).

One of his most significant achievements was the founding of the Tomchei Temimim Yeshivah, and for that reason, the Rebbe explains, “The 2nd of Nissan is an auspicious day regarding everything that is associated with the Yeshivah.”

On the 3rd of Nissan, one day after the Rebbe Rashab’s passing, his son, the Previous Rebbe, assumed the leadership of Chabad. Under his direction, the network of Tomchei Temimim Yeshivahs was greatly expanded.
