12-13 Tammuz | Festival of Liberation

The Story of a Miraculous Liberation

Yud Beis–Yud Gimmel Tammuz marks the miraculous liberation of the Frierdiker Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, from Soviet imprisonment in 1927.

At a time when Torah observance was outlawed and Jewish education was under relentless attack, the Frierdiker Rebbe courageously built an underground network of yeshivos, mikvaos, schools, and Jewish communities that kept Yiddishkeit alive throughout the Soviet Union.

His arrest sparked worldwide concern, and his miraculous release on Yud Beis and Yud Gimmel Tammuz became far more than a personal redemption. It became a victory for Torah, for Jewish faith, and for every Jew committed to living a life of Torah and mitzvos.

It was not myself alone that Hashem redeemed on Yud-Beis Tammuz... also all those who merely bear the name Jew.
