The Rebbe Establishes Keren Hachomesh
On the 22nd of Shevat 5748, February 10, 1988, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, returned from the funeral of his wife of 60 years, Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson, led the afternoon prayers and recited Kaddish in their home on President Street in Brooklyn. The Rebbe’s profound sadness was palpable.
That afternoon, the Rebbe immediately channeled his personal loss into a project of good by forming a charitable foundation to serve as a living memorial for his beloved wife. The Rebbe named the foundation: Keren HACHOMESH, an acronym for “Harabbanit Chaya Mushka Schneerson,” serving a variety of causes, primarily educational and social services for women and girls.
As a fund that holds profound personal significance to the Rebbe, the participation in its efforts is indeed a privilege and honor.
