You have a second birthday.
Every Jew has a birthday on the Hebrew calendar — the day their soul entered the world, counted the way their people count time. Most Jews have never been told theirs.
The Rebbe considered this date so important that in 1988 he launched a campaign about it: your Hebrew birthday, he taught, is your soul’s day of power — a day to celebrate, to give a little tzedakah, to make one good resolution, and to spend a quiet moment on what you’re here for.

(The Jewish day begins at nightfall — an evening birth belongs to the next Jewish day.)
When your Hebrew birthday comes around: give tzedakah, make one small resolution, and take a quiet minute with the question only you can answer — what’s this year’s piece of your mission?
