With Mechilah, we discuss, hopefully, in the Spirit of Chizzuk from Chassidus at TheFamilyMinyan.com, aka the Shtiebel, to be Real. The Lessons in Tanya chapter 39 described the level of Mekava of Tzaddikim "Bital" of Atzilus, to the level of Olam HaBriya, the true intellectual love & awe. However, most of us by Olam HaYetzirah or even

Participation in a farbrengen awakens desire for Torah and mitzvos, yet doubts of “who am I” may arise. We are given the power—and duty—to dismiss them. Using time for Chassidus is no theft. The sons' names should be given with their mother's name in order to be mentioned at the Ohel. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/003/5948

As a Chabad Hassid, Zevi Slavin's formative years were spent immersed in the rich traditions of Chassidus and Kabbalah. This upbringing provided him with a unique lens through which he continues to learn, study and connect with others. Drawing on his background, Slavin created “Seekers of Unity,” a Youtube channel dedicated to exploring the philosophy and history of mysticism across diverse traditions. He founded this channel with the goal of forming a community focused on creating a more intimate world, together. Now, he joins us to answer 18 questions on Jewish mysticism, including people's inherent divinity, tapping into the potential of modernity, and the perpetual experience of Har Sinai. Here are our questions: What is Jewish mysticism?How were you introduced to Jewish mysticism?In an ideal world, would all Jews be mystics?What do you think of when you think of God?What is the purpose of the Jewish people?How does prayer work?What is the goal of Torah study?Does Jewish mysticism view men and women the same?Should Judaism be hard or easy?Why did God create the world? Can humans do something that is against God's will?What do you think of when you think about Moshiach?Is the State of Israel part of the final redemption?What is the greatest challenge facing the world today?How has modernity changed Jewish mysticism?What differentiates Jewish mysticism from the mysticism of other religions? Does one need to be religious to study Jewish mysticism?Can mysticism be dangerous?How has Jewish mysticism affected your relationships with yourself and with others?What is a Jewish teaching that you always take with you?

The Rebbe thanks the writer for accounts of the Rabbeim and notes the Torah's purposeful order. He expresses surprise that no farbrengen from Yud-Tes Kislev was mentioned, emphasizing that its words of Torah and Chassidus should leave a lasting imprint on the entire year ahead. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/003/5944

The Rebbe expresses appreciation for conveyed regards, encourages renewed commitment inspired by Yud-Tes Kislev, and emphasizes spreading Chassidus. He outlines proper preparation and character refinement before shechita studies, urging full devotion to Torah and mitzvot. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/003/5940

The Rebbe reassures that delayed replies are due to heavy responsibilities, not disregard, and urges resilience. He stresses the necessity of the Talmud and Talmud Torah, anticipates good news from the Yud-Tes Kislev farbrengen, and encourages using Chanukah to spread Yiddishkeit and Chassidus. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/003/5939

The Rebbe encourages organizing farbrengens even when results aren't immediately visible, explaining that words of Torah and Chassidus inevitably affect the soul—especially among Bnei Torah. He offers chizuk and clarifies that in the future, the body will illuminate the soul. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/003/5938

The Rebbe urges holding farbrengens in Tomchei Temimim on Yud-Tes Kislev and drawing students from other yeshivos. He stresses extra effort to attract Bnei Torah to Chassidus, noting that through the Alter Rebbe's mesirus nefesh, followers are granted strength in Torah, yiras Shamayim, and middos. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/003/5937

The Rebbe links the receipt of the letter to Yud Tes Kislev, Rosh Hashanah for Chassidus.

התוכן יום ג' בשבוע הוא גם היום שהשנה חל בו חג הגאולה י"ט כסלו (כבפעם הא' בשנת תקנ"ט), שקשור עם הענין דהפצת המעיינות חוצה, וכן נגלה דתורה – שכ"גוף" לנשמה, פנימיות התורה, ה"ה נמשכת אחרי', וכן קיום המצוות בכלל, ובזה גופא באופן ד"מהדרין מן המהדרין" – כההוראה מימי החנוכה ש"מנהג פשוט" שכל א' מקיים מצוות נר חנוכה באופן ד"מהדרין מן המהדרין". ולהעיר שלאחרי שיצא ממאסר חזר אדה"ז לוויטעבסק ביום ב' דחנוכה, שאז ניכר לראשונה הענין ד"מהדרין מן המהדרין" בפועל. וההוראה: להחליט לקיים הענין ד"מהדרין מן המהדרין" בכל עניני תומ"צ, החל מה"מבצעים" הכלליים, שכ"ז מביא ומזרז שה' עושה בעצמו את ה"מבצע" הכי גדול, עקרי ופנימי – גאולה האמיתית והשלימה; בלי נדר אחלק "על פתח ביתו" של הביהכ"נ וביהמ"ד, הד' אמות של נשיא דורנו, דולר א' לכל א' בתור דמי חנוכה לעשות בו כטוב בעיניו, ובהוספה מדילי'.שיחת יום ג', ב' דחנוכה, אחרי תפילת מנחה, ה'תשל"ח – בבית הכנסת ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=16-12-2025 Synopsis Tuesday is also the day of the week upon which 19 Kislev fell this year (as it did the first year 5559) – a day associated with spreading the wellsprings of Chassidus outward, as well as spreading the study of Nigleh (because Nigleh is the “body” of Torah, which goes wherever the “soul” goes) and spreading mitzvah observance in general, and in a manner of mehadrin min hamehadrin, which on Chanukah is the “universally accepted custom.” We know that after the Alter Rebbe's liberation, he arrived in Vitebsk on Tuesday, the second day of Chanukah. Notably, the second day of Chanukah is the first opportunity to observe the mitzvah of lighting Chanukah candles in the manner of mehadrin min hamehadrin in practice. The lesson is that everyone should firmly resolve to act in the manner of mehadrin min hamehadrin in all matters of Torah and mitzvos, beginning with the Mivtzoim, which will hasten the time when Hashem Himself will carry out the greatest “Mivtza” – the true and complete Redemption. Bli neder, I will be giving out dollars to everyone as Chanukah gelt, and surely everyone will add more of their own.Sichah of Tuesday, second day of Chanukah, 5738 – after Mincha For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=16-12-2025

The Rebbe responds to the decision to relocate the yeshiva and marks its dedication on Yud Kislev with blessing. He emphasizes Chassidus, chinuch, and hashgacha pratis, assuring supporters that every detail of the move will ultimately reveal blessing in both spiritual and material ways. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/005_igros_kodesh/003_kislev/1280

The Rebbe asks that a Chanukah farbrengen be held with yeshiva students who study a full seder in Chassidus, and that each receive Chanukah gelt in his name. The gesture emphasizes encouragement, connection, and personal care for spiritual growth. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/005_igros_kodesh/003_kislev/1290

The Rebbe dismisses the need for apology over delayed writing and redirects attention to what truly matters: fixed times for Torah study, learning Chassidus, and influencing one's surroundings. He urges stronger effort in spreading the wellsprings during the month of Kislev. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/005_igros_kodesh/003_kislev/1283

The Rebbe thanks the recipient for donating seforim to his library and sends materials for Yud-Tes Kislev. He expresses confidence that the recipient will return to his spiritual roots by spreading the wellsprings of Chassidus everywhere, helping hasten the true and complete redemption. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/005_igros_kodesh/003_kislev/1282

The Rebbe expresses appreciation for participation in public Torah study and encourages going further by adding Gemara and regular study of Chassidus. He emphasizes balanced daily learning in all areas of Torah as the vessel for blessing in both spiritual and material life. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/005_igros_kodesh/003_kislev/1273

The Rebbe responds with appreciation for the yeshiva's growth and new learning arrangements, encouraging outreach beyond the walls through Torah and Chassidus. He stresses that increasing spiritual light attracts hearts, and blesses continued success in chinuch and personal matters. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/005_igros_kodesh/003_kislev/1274

The Rebbe acknowledges devoted work in strengthening Yeshivas Ohel Yosef Yitzchak, emphasizing the unity of spiritual and material care. He encourages continued effort and growth, shares a Yud-Tes Kislev booklet, and highlights Chassidus as the light guiding Torah, mitzvos, and Jewish life. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/005_igros_kodesh/003_kislev/1271

The Rebbe responds with practical guidance on educational matters, proposing the name Beis Sarah for a girls' school, urging use of established curricula, and stressing the importance of organizing a Chassidus library, as even a single encounter with Torah can have far-reaching impact. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/005_igros_kodesh/003_kislev/1270

The Rebbe responds to a report on communal work and personal matters, encouraging outreach through Chassidus as a public light. He stresses never suspending fixed Torah study, even before a wedding, as Torah is the vessel for blessing, healing, and success. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/005_igros_kodesh/003_kislev/1269

The Essence of Chassidus :The Present Pulled by the Light of the Future. Rav Pinson. 19th of Kislev.

התוכן אף שהמסקנא היא שחנוכה הוא רק "להלל ולהודאה" ולא "לשמחה", אבל מכיון שלדעת הרמב"ם צ"ל גם בחנוכה ענין של שמחה, הרי ראוי ונכון לנהוג כן עכ"פ פעם א' במשך ימי החנוכה – לא בתור חיוב אלא בתור מנהג, ובפרט שלא ראו כן אצל רבותינו נשיאינו (והרי שמחה אמיתית היא רק כשמצרפים גם אחרים, ואם עשו זאת הי' זה מתפרסם). מכיון שלאחרונה ניתוסף בענין החושך – אע"פ שצריך לדעת גם "מעלות עצמו", שכבר פעלו גדולות ונצורות בהפצת היהדות והמעיינות חוצה, והגיעו גם למקומות כאלו שלא שערו כלל, והולך ומתפשט וכו', אבל עדיין לא הגיעו לכל יהודי ולכל מקום, ואלו הם ה"פכים קטנים" שמעכב עדיין ה"קץ שם לחושך" – צ"ל הענין ד"וה' יגי' חשכי". ולכן, כדי לפרוץ גם נקודות החושך האחרונות, ה"ז דבר נכון ונדרש להוסיף בענין השמחה, שזהו חידוש גם לגבי השמחה של הקפות בשמע"צ ושמח"ת, ובמילא שמחה גדולה יותר, עד שע"י שמחה זו נרקוד לקראת משיח צדקנו, ובקרוב ממש!ב' חלקים משיחת מוצאי ש"פ מקץ, שבת חנוכה, אדר"ח טבת ה'תשל"ח ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=14-12-2025 Synopsis Although the halachic conclusion is that Chanukah is a time of “praise and thanksgiving” and not “rejoicing,” nevertheless, since according to the Rambam it is also a time of joy, it is fitting and appropriate to conduct a joyous celebration at least once during Chanukah, not as an obligation, but as a custom. Though it is true that one must recognize his own virtues, and it is true that great and wondrous things have already been achieved in spreading Yiddishkeit and the wellsprings of Chassidus outward, reaching places never imagined etc. – still, not every Jew and every place has yet been reached; there remain the “small jugs” that delay the “end to darkness.” Since lately there has been an increase in darkness, and we need “Hashem to illuminate the darkness,” therefore, to break through even the final spots of darkness, it is proper and necessary to increase in joy. Since this celebration is a novelty even compared to the joy of the hakafos on Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah, it is therefore an even greater joy, and with it we will dance to greet Moshiach Tzidkeinu, may it happen very soon.2 excerpts from sichah of Motzaei Shabbos parashas Mikeitz, Shabbos Chanukah, first day of Rosh Chodesh Teves 5738 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=14-12-2025 לזכות הרב יעקב בן הינדא שי' צירקוס ליום ההולדת שלו כ"ג כסלולשנת ברכה והצלחה ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות

Closing our journey through the Living Steps we explored the principles of all the 12 steps and how they are  expressions of the fundamental foundations of Pnimius HaTorah and Chassidus.Closing out step 12 and this year long series, Menachem explores how the 12 steps inform living a spiritual life in all facets, a concept that is quite obviously reflected in the inner teachings of Torah. Website: TheLightRevealed.orgEmail: TheLightRevealed@TLRFamily.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelightrevealed/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelightrevealed/

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: What is unique about the month of Kislev, and what lessons does it offer us? Yud Tes Kislev Why is this day the Rosh Hashana of Chassidus? Why was Chassidus revealed in the later generations? What is the difference between “before Petersburg” and “after Petersburg”? What do we learn from this day? Why was there a heavenly accusation against the Alter Rebbe for teaching Chassidus? Should we be afraid to say a dvar torah at the Shabbos table lest the heavenly court indict us? How do we explain the Alter Rebbe's analogy of Chassidus being like the most precious crown jewel being crushed to help save the life of the royal prince? How do you compare the Alter Rebbe's spreading of Chassidus to other Kabbalists who taught Penimiyus HaTorah? Why did they not face resistance? Is Chassidus based on the Zohar and Kabbalah or is something entirely different? Is learning the Tanya compared to having a personal yechidus with the Alter Rebbe? What “second half” is necessary to understand Tanya? Can you appreciate Tanya without song? How did the Alter Rebbe deliver his teachings to us? What is a farbrengen and where did it originate from? What's the difference between a maamar and a sicha? What was the main teaching of the Maggid of Mezritch? What is a black Marie chariot and why was it sent for the alter rebbe? How did the Alter Rebbe win his court case; what evidence did he produce to exonerate himself? What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? What is the inside story of the tribes' jealousy of Joseph, and of Joseph's fall and rise? What was the significance of Joseph's dreams that he will rule over his brothers? How could the righteous tribes sell their brother into slavery? Vayeishev 

Hi everyone, welcome back to The Chai on Life Podcast! I'm so happy to be back after a postpartum hiatus. Baruch Hashem I am so grateful for the little miracle baby that I now have in my life and so grateful to have had the quality time with him and now so grateful to be able to focus back on the podcast a bit more. Gd willing, I will be doing a full episode on the birth story and some reflections from that, so if that's interesting to you stay tuned. But now, I've been busy working on some interviews with really incredible people and I am so excited to share them.Today's episode is with Shoshana Judelman. I got connected to Shoshana through Midreshet Rachel — she is a teacher there now and has always been passionate about teaching Torah and Jewish History. She holds a Bachelor's in History and a Master's in Jewish History. She made aliyah with her husband and six children to Efrat in 2013. In addition to teaching at MRC, Shoshana teaches Chassidus for the Shirat David Community in Efrat as well as for BeOr Panecha in Elazar. She is a guide in Poland with JRoots and co-leads inspirational trips to Ukraine and around Eretz Yisroel. Shoshana has also been a guide at Yad Vashem since 2014.In this episode, she is sharing so much about her connection to the world of Chassidus, what we can learn from it and how we can connect to Chanukah more deeply through its teachings. She speaks about:-How she got into Chassidus and became a baal teshuva-What the difference is between Chassidus and other perspectives on Torah-How we can interpret the world through the lens of our human soul and Gdly soul which was a really interesting and helpful teaching-What it really means that just a little bit of light can dispel a lot of darkness (with a really great mashal included in that)-How to cope when it feels like the darkness is getting darker, whether in your own personal world or in the world at large-How you can personally connect through the lighting of the Chanukah candles and practically a great tip if you have a busy household and it's hard to focus when your family is lighting together-Her own personal struggle at the moment and how she's dealing with it and becoming closer with Hashem in the process. This was so beautiful I was really getting emotional …and so so much more!To daven for Shoshana, her full name is Shoshana Yonah bat AidelLearn more from Shoshana here.

A farbrengen for Yud-Tes Kislev, the Rosh Hashanah of Chassidus, like never before.
