Ever since the Rebbe assumed leadership as leader of our generation in 1950, hundreds of thousands of Jews and non-Jews have turned to the Rebbe in times of crises and joy to receive his blessing, clear cut guidance and encouragement.
From Gimmel Tammuz 5754, the Rebbe’s Ohel has become the focal point offering inspiration and solace to the hundreds of thousands who visit and send in their letters throughout the year.
As the Rebbe himself wrote a chossid who requested direction after the passing of the Previous Rebbe: “Regarding what you ask: [What should one do] when in doubt, for it is not possible to ask the [Previous] Rebbe now? If you will remain steadfast in your Hiskashrus to him, without paying attention to the arguments of the Yetzer Hara, and you will send your question to the Ohel of the [Previous] Rebbe; the Rebbe will find a way to answer you.”
Years later, in a sicha said on 15 Shevat 5748 the Rebbe stated: “When one asks for a bracha and the letter is brought to the Ohel, not only is [the request] heard and answered by the Rebbe, but the [Rebbe’s] answer actually affects the one who receives it. Either he hears it in the physical sense, with his own ears, or his neshama hears it ultimately affecting him b’pnimiyus”.
Indeed, endless people have experienced the fruition of their requests and the Rebbe’s clear answers to their questions and doubts, many times in miraculous of ways.
Recently Rabbi Yitzchak Raskin and photographer, Mendel Meyers, have launched a special new project to publicize the blessings and miracles received upon writing to the Rebbe by the Ohel.
Rebbestory.org aims to record these special stories with first-person testimony of those who experienced them and generate inspiration through publicizing them via social media.
In a recently released video, Mr. Bart Van De Kamp, CEO and founder of Borealis Hotel Group, recounts the sign he received a number of years ago upon writing to the Rebbe for direction in an important business transaction whether to flag hotels to Marriot Hotel or to Holiday Inn.
Those who have experienced special stories by the Ohel and are willing to share them to inspire others are asked to contact: [email protected]
It is our fervent hope and prayer that through fulfilling the Rebbe’s instruction to publicize the miracles that Hashem does for us in our time which serves as a catalyst for the Geulah we will once again be able to encounter the Rebbe in a physical body with the coming of Moshiach very soon.
