This year Gimmel Tammuz the third of Tammuz will begin on Monday June 30, which is the second day of Tammuz and continue through the third day of Tammuz which is Gimmel Tammuz on July 1, 2014. There will be many events most likel;y held within a few days before because this will be the 20th anniversary yartziet.
Right before Gimmel Tammuz, Queens College will host a day-long inspirational event with known figures such as Rabbi Adin Even-Israel and Rabbi Yoel Kahn. As thousands prepare to visit the Rebbe's Ohel to mark 20 years since Gimmel Tammuz, amongst them hundreds of shluchim coming with their communities, a special day-long inspirational and educational event marking the date will take place on Sunday, June 29 at Queens College.
