The Living Legacy Institute is an effort to promulgate the legacy and
teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of
blessed memory.
Through
the publication of essays and discourses, the words of the Rebbe
continue to speak to us, especially in these extraordinary and
challenging times.
This has
been underscored by the celebration of Education and Sharing Day, USA,
proclaimed annually by The President in honor of the Rebbe's birthday.
Special events are also organized to call attention to the message of
the Rebbe, who was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1994.
An
extraordinary effort was undertaken in March 2002 in honor of
“Celebration 100” - marking the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth
of the Rebbe. Significant events with world-renowned personalities and
dignitaries were held at The White House, the US Capitol, The Pentagon,
The US Library of Congress, the John F. Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts and culminating with a Gala Banquet at the Presidential
Ballroom of the Capitol Hilton.
