Turning the World into a Garden: 75 Years of the Rebbe’s Vision
If Bob Marley were alive today, February 6th would’ve been his 80th birthday. This date was marked around the world as a celebration of his vision and impact on the world. Another milestone marked this week celebrates the legacy of a great leader who transformed the world and made a big impact in Jamaica.
Seventy-five years ago, in a small Crown Heights synagogue packed with 800 followers, the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, accepted the mantle of leadership of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. In his inaugural speech, he declared that this generation would be the one to bring redemption to the world. He preached that love of G‑d, Torah and his people are one, setting forth a mission to share Torah teachings and do acts of kindness for Jews and all of humanity.
