Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (born on the 11th of Nissan 1902 (5662) [1]) is a spiritual leader with widespread influence around the world, especially among the Jewish people. He is the seventh leader of Chassidus Chabad and is regarded as the King Moshiach who will bring the true and complete redemption. Among his notable activities are the global network of Shluchim (emissaries) and the ten Mivtzoim (campaigns) he initiated, with the goal to bring Judaism to every Jew. His actions, words, and influence emphasize the anticipation for Moshiach and activities to hasten the redemption.
- ↑ The date of the Rebbe's birth became known to the Chassidim for the first time during the Rebbe's visit to Paris, when on the 11th of Nissan, his mother the Rebbetzin Chana, addressed a group of Chassidim, among them Rabbi Ben Tzion Shem Tov, and suggested that they ask the Rebbe to farbreng for his birthday - and indeed it was so, and the Rebbe agreed to farbreng (Yemi Melech Part III, p. 997)
