The Rebbe shlit"a delivered divrei Torah on the verse "This they shall give, everyone who passes among those counted," explaining that when a tzaddik brings about a salvation, it is not only for himself but also for later generations. He continued on the greatness of the baal hahilula zy"a, his spreading of Torah to his students, his yiras shamayim, his strength of leadership, and related several stories.
