Last Tuesday, 3 Tammuz, marking the 30th yahrtzeit of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, zt”l, the Ukrainian Postal Service issued a special stamp in his honor and as a tribute to the Chabad movement and its activities in Ukraine.

The stamp features the famous 770 building located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, New York. Instead of the building’s windows, sefarim of the Lubavitcher Rebbes are depicted.

Rabbi Yonatan Markovitch, the Chief Rabbi of Kyiv and Chabad head shliach in the city, who initiated and worked toward the issuance of the stamp, expressed his gratitude to the Ukrainian postal officials. He stated that there is no more appropriate and fitting day than Gimmel Tammuz to express appreciation for the work of the Chabad shluchim worldwide, and particularly for the activities of the Chabad shluchim in Ukraine.
