The Previous Rebbe (Admo"r HaRayatz) suffered greatly throughout his life, and from the year 5690 (1930), as a result of a serious illness, his sufferings increased and walking and speaking became difficult for him [54]. On the 10th of Shevat 5710 (January 28, 1950), on the holy Shabbat of Parshat Bo, at eight in the morning, he passed away. The next day, Sunday the 11th of Shevat, the funeral took place and tens of thousands of people accompanied his coffin on its way to the "Montefiore" cemetery in Queens, New York. A special ohel was built over his grave, which was expanded and renovated over the years.

==== Morocco ====
The Previous Rebbe (Admo"r HaRayatz) continued the work of his father, the Rebbe Rashab, among Sephardic Jews, through emissaries to Georgia, including Rabbi Shmuel Levitin and Rabbi Avraham Levi Salin, and to Uzbekistan - Rabbi Simcha Gorodetzky.

Shortly before his passing, the Previous Rebbe initiated a mission to Morocco, and even chose Rabbi Michael Lipsker to be the first emissary to Morocco, but this did not materialize and Rabbi Lipsker was not even informed about it. After the passing, the Rebbe sent Rabbi Michael Lipsker and later Rabbi Shlomo Matusof, Rabbi Shalom Edelman, Rabbi Yehuda Leib Raskin, and additional emissaries to Morocco to establish educational institutions under the Ohale Yosef Yitzchok Lubavitch (Morocco) network, named after the Previous Rebbe.

==== School Network Named After the Previous Rebbe ====
In 5712 (1952), the Rebbe instructed Rabbi Zusha Wilmovsky to establish in Israel a network similar to what they had established in Morocco, called the Ohale Yosef Yitzchok network. Over the years, many institutions have been named after the Previous Rebbe.

==== Customs of the Previous Rebbe's Yahrzeit ====
On the 10th of Shevat, Chabad Chassidim follow special customs, according to a letter of request from the Rebbe [55].
