On the 22 Shevat 5748, February 10, 1988, the Rebbe returned from the funeral of his wife of 60 years, Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson, led afternoon prayers and recited Kaddish in their home on President Street in Brooklyn. The Rebbe’s profound sadness was palpable, his pain indescribable.
That afternoon, the Rebbe immediately channeled his personal loss into a project of global good by forming a charitable foundation as a living memorial for his beloved wife.
The Rebbe named the fund “KEREN HACHOMESH,“ an acronym for “Harabanit Chaya Mushka Schneerson,” serving a variety of causes, primarily educational and social services for women and girls.
Please visit www.KerenHaChomesh.org and use the occasion of the Rebbetzin’s yahrzeit to honor her legacy with a generous gift to the fund that carries her name.
