In 1977 the Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneersohn suffered a massive heart attack on Shmini Atzeret. He had a miraculous recovery and returned home on Rosh Chodesh Kislev.
This story is all over the internet on Chabad sites, here is just one link to Wikipedia if you want to read about it.
This year, Rabbi Alon Anava was hospitalized on or around Shemini Atzeret and history has repeated itself, as on Rosh Chodesh Kislev he got up and lectured again about his second near death experience.
One Rebbe, one rabbi and two miraculous recoveries on the same dates.
Rosh Chodesh Kislev is a very auspicious date for the coming of Moshiach. The Lubavitcher Rebbe was thought to be the Moshiach of his generation. Rabbi Anava is definitely a candidate for ours.
