It was the 25th of Adar 5748 (1988), some five weeks after the passing of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson, wife of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. And it was her birthday. In a public address delivered that day, the Rebbe inaugurated a “Jewish Birthday Campaign,” suggesting guidelines for appropriate and spiritual birthday celebrations. In honor of the 20-year anniversary of this historic event, ChabadTexas.org has rolled out a brand new birthday section.
Find out what’s so special about your birthday and how to “Jewishly” celebrate, print out a Jewish birthday certificate and schedule birthday e-mail reminders, or just browse through our birthday insights.
