Editor's Note This Shabbat Is Special Dear Friend, This coming Shabbat marks 24 years since the passing of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory. Shortly after the passing of his father-in-law, the sixth Rebbe, the Rebbe remarked, "The sun is always shining. Even when it is night on one half of the globe, there is sunshine on the other. And even where it is dark, the brightness is present through the stars. "In the same way," the Rebbe concluded, "my saintly father-in-law is still present and radiant through the stars: the Jewish people." Throughout the decades of his leadership, the Rebbe touched the lives of many thousands. He taught, advised, encouraged, and brought meaning to people's lives. He loved everyone. He celebrated with them and mourned with them. The Rebbe still continues to touch lives—but now it is through us. It is our duty to become the "stars" that convey the love that the Rebbe radiated.
