ChaBaD Jewish Calendar Sunday, July 2, 2023 13 Tammuz, 5783 Jewish History R. Yosef Yitzchak Freed (1927) On the 13th of Tammuz of 1927, the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, received the documents authorizing his release from a sentence of exile to Kastroma in the interior of Russia. The Rebbe was actually notified of his release on Tammuz 12, but since that day was a legal holiday, the Certificate of Release freeing him to travel home was issued only the next day. Thus both the 12th and 13th of Tammuz are celebrated as a "festival of liberation" by the Chabad-Lubavitch community. (For more on the Rebbe's arrest and liberation, " Today in Jewish History " for yesterday, Tammuz 12). Laws and Customs Chabad custom: Omit Tachanun In Chabad practice, Tachanun (confession of sins) and similar prayers are omitted today.
