The letter praises the recipient's efforts but says they are far below what is truly possible—especially in Eretz Yisrael today. It points out that even secular leftist movements succeed because they act with passion, discipline, unity, sacrifice for the collective, and obedience to leadership—qualities Chassidus demands for holy work—while Chassidim often fail to fully harness the blessing available to them due to complacency or division.

The Rebbe advises that translations for youth should not be literal, as this hinders engagement. He emphasizes maintaining uniform illustrations across different language editions to stress global unity and encourages the recipient to increase his personal study of Chassidus. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/005/6075

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Adar Why do we increase in joy during this month? What unique opportunity does this month offer us? Can you begin your program about Adar with a piece of humor? Is this entire month filled with joy? What is the difference between the good mazal of Shevat and that of Adar? Is this a month when Iran will be held accountable just as it was with Persia of old? How do we reconcile the fact that ancient Persia allowed us to rebuild the second Temple and Rome destroyed it, with the tables being turned today with Iran being our enemy and the Western empires being our allies? Should we be praying for the innocent people of Iran? Which events during the 1991 Persian Gulf War did the Rebbe cite as signs that the world is ready for Moshiach — and that all we need to do is open our eyes? What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? How do we create a sanctuary for G-d today?  What is the significance of the holy ark?Can we compare G-d to energy?  If physical existence is really Divine energy, what are we actually accomplishing when we perform mitzvos with material objects and make blessings on actual foods? What is the difference between chapters 11 and 12 at the end of the Rambam? What positive lesson do we learn about breaking down walls to spread Chassidus? What are we to make of the uprisings in Iran? Terumah Understanding G-d Siyum HaRambam What do we learn from the President announcing a "National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving" on May 17th, which is Rosh Chodesh Sivan?  Ramming into 770 – Follow-up

The Rebbe firmly rejects despair, emphasizing simple faith that Hashem guides each person with Hashgacha Pratis and that all is for the good. Reflection on Chumash, Tehillim, Tanya, and Chassidus strengthens one's spirit. Regarding a shidduch and past health issues, consult a doctor and a Rav. Blessings for good news. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/005/6070

The Rebbe advises an individual to stop ruminating on their own perceived spiritual deficiencies, which is the "advice of the Yetzer Hara." He explains that unlike Musar, which focuses on fixing the "bad," Chassidus emphasizes focusing on the "Good"—the greatness of the Creator—which naturally displaces the negative. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/004_igros_kodesh/av/1123

The Rebbe writes to a student about the power of Chassidus to transform the "animal soul" and the world at large. He explains that by bringing the light of the "Inner Torah" into one's daily conduct, a person becomes a beacon that illuminates their surroundings, fulfilling the ultimate purpose of making this world a dwelling place for G-dliness. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/004/6022

The Rebbe responds to a question about visiting the Holy Land, noting his work requires him to remain in New York. He emphasizes the importance of participating in Yud-Tes Kislev farbrengens, describing the day as the "Rosh Hashanah of Chassidus," which must draw warmth and vitality into one's Torah study and outreach throughout the entire year. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/004/6019

The Rebbe thanks Reb Shneur Zalman Schmerling for a manuscript. He clarifies a historical point: the organized Aliyah of Chabad Chassidim was primarily during the time of the Mitteler Rebbe, not the Alter Rebbe. He explains that in 1777, Chassidus Chabad had not yet emerged as a distinct movement or "sect" separate from general Chassidus. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/005/6034

The Rebbe encourages Rabbi Saadya Liberow, a shliach in Morocco, regarding the "demand of the hour": spreading Chassidus. He explains that obstacles should be viewed as tests (nisyonot) that serve to elevate a person (nes ve-harama). Since the task is demanded of us, the strength to succeed is certainly provided. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/005/6031

The Rebbe addresses Reb Shlomo Rosenfeld, emphasizing that the "greatness of study lies in that it leads to action." He encourages expanding efforts in Hafatzat HaMayanot (spreading Chassidus), noting that this work is a form of spiritual "loving-kindness" that brings blessings in both this world and the next. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/005/6029

The Rebbe discusses the importance of never being satisfied with spiritual levels, citing the rule that "one who has 200 desires 400." He clarifies the difference between the lineage of the Baal Shem Tov and the "path" of Chassidus, emphasizing that true connection is achieved through inner labor (avodah) rather than just pedigree. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/005/6027

In this morning's class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explored one of the Torah's most psychologically honest teachings: what to do when our emotions and our values don't align. Through the mitzvah of helping an enemy's fallen donkey, we uncovered Judaism's middle path, neither repressing emotions nor surrendering to them. Drawing from halacha, Kabbalah, and Chassidus, the class reframed emotional maturity as the ability to feel honestly while choosing responsibly, and offered a practical way to act with integrity even when the heart resists.Key TakeawaysThe Torah acknowledges emotional resistance without letting it dictate behaviorFeeling something does not automatically make it true or actionableJewish Law validates emotions but prioritizes responsibility and mitzvahHelping an “enemy” is about freeing yourself from the grip of impulseIn Kabbalah, the mind is meant to guide emotions like a wise parent, not silence themSometimes the heart follows the hands, action can lead emotion#Judaism #Kabbalah #Jewish #Torah #TorahLessons #TorahPortion #Bible #BibleStudy #KabbalahForEveryone #EmotionalWisdom #torahpsychology #MoachShalitAlHalev #InnerWork #JewishMindfulness #SpiritualMaturity #HalachaAndHeart #chassidus #RabbiBernath #chabadAvailable now:Paperback (US): https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Paperback (Canada): https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

The Rebbe advises aligning with the yeshiva's schedule and guidance. Regarding self-doubt, he emphasizes studying Chassidus to counter despair, referencing Tanya's teachings on God's providence. He stresses maintaining regular Torah, Tehillim, and Tanya study. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/004/6008

The Rebbe reassures that the lack of perceived growth in Chassidus is merely the yetzer hara's deception, for Torah and mitzvah observance—especially in Ilana D'Chaye—must have effect. Even if unseen, the ascent exists. Through continued struggle and teaching others, one's own spiritual elevation will become revealed. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/005/6062

The Rebbe thanks him for sending books and emphasizes continued effort in spreading Chassidus, highlighting that action proves sincerity. Newly printed works of the Rebbe Rashab, including early handwritten essays, are shared to deepen study and personal influence in multiple circles. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/004/6009

The Rebbe expresses surprise that Yud-Tes Kislev was not mentioned, noting it is the Rosh Hashanah of Chassidus and its ways. He explains that, like the head which sustains the entire body, the day generates vitality for growth in Torah and mitzvos throughout the entire year. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/004/5994

The Rebbe acknowledges receiving a report of recent outreach activities and stresses the need to maintain and renew connections with those encountered. He explains that inspiration must be refreshed regularly so successes continue to grow, especially in spreading the wellsprings of Chassidus with vitality and purity. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/004/5997

Learning Weekly from Likutei Moharan chapter 42 Rabeinu Nachman ben Faiga Simcha on Davening with Torah, Song & Joy

The laws of watchmen describe how different animal drives can cause a person to lose touch with their G-dly soul, with the sheep's pull toward social conformity emerging as the most subtle and dangerous challenge. Because Hashem lends each person their abilities out of essential love, no spiritual failure or lack of standing ever removes the obligation to learn Chassidus. A free loan reveals a glimpse of the infinite within the finite, since lending to another is considered lending to Hashem Himself, whose repayment is enduring and without limit. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Mishpatim in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

The Rebbe responds to a Tu BiShvat letter, promising to mention the recipient and his wife at the Ohel. He explains Tu BiShvat as a source of renewed vitality and blessing, especially for those spreading Torah and Chassidus, urging continued strength in this unique and essential mission. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/005/6056

The Rebbe responds to a Tu BiShvat letter, urging him to explain to a poor but G-d-fearing individual the Midrash on the poor person's offering. Drawing on Chassidus and the Zohar, he stresses that the prayer of the poor comes first and encourages speaking from the heart to inspire commitment to Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya study. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/005/6054

The Rebbe highlights the merit of learning in Tomchei Temimim, where the Tree of Life and Tree of Knowledge unite. He encourages him to deepen his study of Chassidus with vitality, integrating it into all actions, mitzvot, and daily conduct, as nothing stands against sincere effort. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/004/5982

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: 15th of Shevat Why do we celebrate the New Year for Trees? Why don't we celebrate it on the third day of creation, when trees and vegetation were created?  How do trees celebrate their new year? What is the basis of Shammai and Hillel's different opinions of when we celebrate the new year for trees? Can it serve as an analogy for stages in the revelation of Moshiach? Was this day celebrated in Biblical times? What is a 15th of Shevat Seder and how do we conduct one? What are some lessons we learn from trees? Is there a source that Shevat is the acronym of sheyihi besuros tovos? Why is Shevat considered a month of good news when sad events took place in it, such as the passing of the Frierdiker Rebbe and Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka? What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? How do the three major events in the book Shemos – Exodus, Matan Torah, building the mishkan – reflect three key stages in our personal, collective and cosmic journey? Why is Matan Torah in Parshas Yisro?How would you describe G-d? Is G-d aware of His own existence? Why did the giving of the Torah begin with the Ten Commandments? How did Matan Torah change the world? Why were they not allowed to approach Mt. Sinai, but today anyone can climb that mountain? Why are the Jewish people called a “kingdom of priests”? Is Mitzrayim compared to the meitzar ha'goron, the narrow neck?   Why was there a need for the parting of the sea, when their path to Israel did not require going through the Red Sea? Was the parting of the sea an actual event or a metaphor? What is the significance of the people singing the song of the sea after it was parted? What is the power of song? Shevat Yisro Beshalach What lessons do we learn from the car ramming into 770 on the night of Yud Shevat?  How do I know if I am doing the right thing in launching a new training program based on Chassidus? 

This week I have three stories for you. The first takes place at a tisch of the first Belzer Rebbe, where a single piece of fruit changes everything. The second follows a chassid of Rabbi Mordechai of Chernobyl who sets out on a long business journey carrying two etrogim — one for his Rebbe, one for the holy Ruzhiner. And the third is a story of the Baal Shem Tov, told on a wedding day, when a debt of one thousand rubles arrives at the worst possible moment.

The purpose of Matan Torah is to bring holiness into everyday life, so that ordinary activities are not separate from serving Hashem. What is considered “hidden” or “revealed” Torah depends on the needs of the generation, and in our time the teachings of Chassidus must be openly learned. Our generation's main spiritual challenge is excess ego, and Chassidus is the remedy that breaks down that excess. Physical health and material success are not rewards for spirituality, but tools meant to give a person the strength to serve Hashem with joy. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Yisro in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.
