This week I have three stories for you. The first begins with a powerful count who sets out to rid his land of a Rebbe — and discovers that Heaven has other plans. The second starts with an unexpected blessing from the Lubavitcher Rebbe that will one day turn a life upside down in the most miraculous way. And the last opens on the streets of Poznań, where a city gathers to welcome its new Rav — unaware of the quiet wonder about to unfold.

התוכן בחלק הפרשה דיום שני דפ' נח מדובר על המבול, מתחילתו ועד סופו: התחלת השיעור – "ויהי המבול ארבעים יום גו'", וסיום השיעור – ובחודש השני בשבעה ועשרים יום לחודש יבשה הארץ", וכפרש"י "נעשה גריד כהלכתה". אע"פ שהמבול הי' דבר חד-פעמי, ועד שהקב"ה נשבע שלא יוסיף להביא מבול לעולם, אעפ"כ גם המבול הוא הוראה נצחית. ובהקדם, הרי אחז"ל שהתורה קדמה לעולם, ועאכו"כ שקדמה לעולם במצב של חסרון וחטאים, וכיצד יתכן שיהי' בתורה ענין בלתי רצוי כמו המבול?! אלא, כל הענינים כפי שהם בתורה הם תכלית הטוב. ובפנימיות התורה מבואר ענין הטוב שבמבול: ענין המבול הוא – לטהר את העולם, שזהו מה שירידת הגשמים היתה במשך מ' יום כנגד המ' סאה שבמקוה טהרה. והרי ענין הטהרה הוא גם ביחס למצב של טהרה גופא, טהרה למעלה מטהרה, כדמוכח מזה שביוהכ"פ טובל הכהן-גדול חמש טבילות! ובמילא מובן שיש ענין של "מבול" בקדושה [המשך יבוא]ב' חלקים משיחת יום ג' פ' נח, ל' תשרי, אדר"ח מרחשון ה'תשמ"ו ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=19-10-2025 Synopsis Shelishi of parashas Noach discusses the Flood from beginning to end, starting with, “The Flood was upon the earth for 40 days…” and concluding with “By the 27th day of the second month, the earth was completely dry” (Rashi: “it hardened to its normal condition”). Although the Flood was a one-time event, and Hashem swore never again to bring a flood upon the world, nevertheless, it contains an eternal lesson. We know that “The Torah preceded the world,” and certainly it preceded the world's state of sin and deficiency; how then is it possible for something undesirable like the Flood exist within Torah? This can be understood based on the explanation in Chassidus of the positive dimension of the Flood – which is its inner purpose of purifying the world. This is why the rains fell for forty days, corresponding to the forty se'ah of a mikveh. Accordingly, it is understood that there is such a thing as a “Flood” in holiness, because purification exists even for something that is already pure, as seen from the fact that the Kohen Gadol immerses five times on Yom Kippur.

As we prepare for Yom Kippur, we speak with Joseph Gitler about his son-in-law, David Schwartz HY”D—a ben Torah, law student, and IDF reservist in Handasah Kravit (combat engineering) who fell in Khan Younis on January 8, 2024 alongside his chavrusa Yakir Hexter HY”D.Joseph shares how David wove together strong learning with real-world duty, his years in Gush Etzion, his time at Reichman University law school, his gift for connecting across communities, and what it means to mourn while still choosing life and responsibility. We also hear about ongoing projects in David's memory and the weekly Divrei Torah initiative that now reaches thousands.LinksTo join the David Schwartz Divrei Torah chatTo watch the video from the AzkaraHighlightsBen Torah in the world: David's learning (Kli Yakar chavrusas, steady seder) and his drive to serve—both in the IDF and potentially in public service.Bridging worlds: Deep ties across communities (yeshiva, Chassidus, secular campus).

Elul and the high holidays are a period of introspection and self accounting. In this conversation with Matti Banon, we discuss the Chassidic perspective on gentle growth, what it looks like to live our lives with agency while remaining humble enough to recognize our recurring flaws, the balance between intellect and emotion, the transformative power of compassion and curiosity, and the parenting truths that can guide us in becoming more whole ourselves. Matti Banon is a campus shlucha in Montreal who enjoys learning and delving into topics like marriage and parenting through the lens of Chassidus. Her children are her biggest helpers when it comes to her shlichus and self growth.

Living In the basics, we are exploring of the principles of the 12 steps and how they are expressed in fundamental ideas of Pnimius HaTorah and Chassidus.In this episode Menachem continues our exploration of step 9, focused in on the concept - wherever possible, and how that challenges us to think dynamically and out the box of what seems most ideal for something that may be beyond anything we could have imagined. This lead to exploration of the inner intentions and meaning of the avodah of Rosh Hashana and the way in which we are invited to bring the crown of rachamim to the process of God recreating the world each year.Website: TheLightRevealed.orgEmail: TheLightRevealed@TLRFamily.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelightrevealed/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelightrevealed/
