Editor's Note:

Summer's arrived in this part of the world, along with its unique opportunities. Here at Chabad.org we strive to give you a balanced mix of tools and thought-provoking insights to help make your Judaism an inseparable part of your summer experience. Please keep us apprised [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=45C45167A52BB76154FBE1151612E700&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] of how you enjoy our efforts!

In American tradition, the summer is ushered in with the 4th of July which celebrates the founding of this benevolent government whose commitment to protecting and facilitating religious practice paved the way for an unprecedented blooming of Jewish life.

Providentially, today, Sivan 28 (June 30, 2011 on the Gregorian calendar), just shy of July 4, marks 70 years to the day from when the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, and his life's partner, Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka, of righteous memory, arrived safely to these welcoming shores, setting into motion the Jewish revival we are all part of today.

[Additionally, next week, on July 4 itself, we mark the Hebrew date of Tammuz 3, the 17th anniversary of the Rebbe's passing. We'll have more about that next week. You can take a peek, though, at our page in progress, here [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=C7FDB261B13506C60E7EBBFE377721F7&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ].]

Germane to the Rebbe's approach is how each one of us has an integral role and destiny to play in positively impacting our own circle of influence, however great or small.

As the sun shines ever brighter, we'd like to wish you a wonderfully relaxing summer, a summer of growth in all aspects of Judaism, and a summer of incorporating the Rebbe's example of utilizing our G‑d-given opportunities to make our world a Jewishly brighter place.

Enjoy!
