התוכן 1) הענין דחזרת חסידות בבתי-כנסת צ"ל גם ע"י אברכים, שגם אם חושבים שאינם צריכים את זה לתועלת עצמם – יעשו זאת לתועלת הבעה"ב שבבית-הכנסת. ועד"ז הענין ד"נרות להאיר" בכלל צ"ל גם אצל אברכים שיצאו מכותלי הישיבה, כי גם הם בגדר "בהמות בייתיות" ("הלנות בעיר"), כיון שכאשר נעשה "חושך" חוזרים הם אל הבית... 2) על כאו"א (ובמיוחד הבעה"ב העוסקים בהוויית עוה"ז) לפעול על עצמו את ההכרה שאין שום מציאות מלבד הקב"ה וליובאַוויטש (תורת החסידות, ותורה בכלל), שענין זה יתגלה לעת"ל. 3) ע"ד לימוד לקבלת "סמיכה" להוראה: על הבחורים להשתדל לקבלה קודם חתונתם (כמנהג בית הרב שגילה אדמו"ר מוהריי"צ), ועד"ז אברכים הנשואים – הראויים לזה. ולכל הפחות "סמיכה" באופן כזה שידעו את המעשה אשר יעשון לכה"פ בשו"ע או"ח ויו"ד והל' שבת (וקצת באבן העזר).ב' חלקים מהתוועדות כ"ד טבת ה'תשי"ב ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=17-02-2025 Synopsis (1) Reviewing Chassidus in shuls isn't just for the bochurim, also for the young married men; even if they think they don't need it for themselves, they should do it for the benefit of the people who daven in the shul. Similarly, being a “shining lamp” in general applies even to married people who have left the confines of the yeshiva; now they are considered “domesticated animals” (“who sleep in the city”), because when it gets “dark,” they return home… (2) Everyone (especially the married people, who are involved in worldly matters) must work to instill within themselves the recognition that nothing exists other than Hashem and Lubavitch (the teachings of Chassidus, and Torah in general), a reality that will be revealed in the future. (3) With regards to studying for semicha: The bochurim should obtain semicha before marriage (following the custom of the Beis HaRav as revealed by the Rebbe Rayatz). Similarly, married people who are suited for it should pursue semicha as well. At the very least, they should obtain a level of semicha where they are knowledgeable in practical matters of halachah in Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim, Yoreh Deiah, the laws of Shabbos, and some of Even Haezer.2 excerpts from farbrengen of 24 Teves 5712 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=17-02-2025

His poetry grapples with ideas of Chassidus and their application in real "messy life," including some very personal reflections. Three collections of his poetry have been published, and his work has found appeal with audiences far outside of Lubavitch but also within Lubavitch itself. In this episode, we discuss the space that writing poetry fills in the life of a chossid, how even whilst surrounded by the great books there is a space within that deserves honest reflection and even sharing with others.

Rabbi Elisha Pearl grew up in Flatbush and has spent the last few years studying in the Judean hills, which is where he wrote his groundbreaking book, "Make Peace," which explores the Rebbe's strategic vision for lasting peace in Israel. We were going to discuss the book, but ended up talking about how he found himself it writing it in the first place, how as a young Lubavitch boy his parents moved away from Crown Heights to Flatbush and enrolled him in Yeshivas Chaim Berlin, setting him on a trajectory of being a Lubavitcher individual studying outside the Lubavitch system, including Yeshiva University and various Dati Leumi yeshivos in Israel. We discussed the vantage point afforded to someone who sees things from both the inside and the outside, the challenges that come with it, and what he sees now in what he describes as the "religious revival" taking place in Chabad. ____ This week's episode is brought to you by "This World Is A Garden," a new film and live concert production by Yuvla Media based on the Rebbe's first talk, Bosi Lgani.

Rabbi Mordechai Avtzon is my father and the first shliach in the Far East, which is where he and my mother founded Chabad of Hong Kong and China forty years ago.

Fifteen year ago, Nissen Goldman was a teenage son of a rabbi in Johannesburg, South Africa finding his own way. After leaving high school, Nissen ended up spending time in Cape Town where his sister and brother in law where on shlichus and ended up in a relationship with the daughter of their shul's president. Fast forward fifteen years, and Nissen is on his shlichus at University of Cape Town with his then girlfriend and now wife, and has come to the kinnus for the first time as a shliach, together with their eldest son. In this episode, we discuss Nissen's improbable journey away from shlichus and back, how one can end up in the same and yet completely different place, and the value and risks of writing your own story. ____ This week's episode is brought to you by "This World Is A Garden," a new film and live concert production by Yuvla Media based on the Rebbe's first talk, Bosi Lgani.

In this episode, Rabbi Mangel shares his journey from his small childhood town in Slovakia to Auschwitz and then England and Canada where he eventually met a number of fellow Lubavitch survivors of the war who invited him into Lubavitch. As he became a chossid of the Rebbe, Rabbi Mangel would go on to work for the Rebbe in a number of capacities, starting by learning chassidus with students in the famous Beis Medrash Govohah in Lakewood and going on to teach thousands of people around the world. ____ This week's episode is brought to you by "This World Is A Garden," a new film and live concert production by Yuvla Media based on the Rebbe's first talk, Bosi Lgani.

In this conversation we discuss the mashpiim that most impacted Rabbi Winner as he was growing up, and how the role of a mashpia has developed over the years. We also discuss how the idea of hiskashrus and Lubavitch identity has shifted over the years, the importance of definitions and speaking with intention, and most importantly the importance of listening to and learning from one another. ____ This week's episode is brought to you by "This World Is A Garden," a new film and live concert production by Yuvla Media based on the Rebbe's first talk, Bosi Lgani.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Chassidus applied to this time of year Why are these days between Yom Kippur and Sukkos so powerful? What is the lesson from these days? Why is the day after Yom Kippur called “G-d's Name”? What is the proper way to greet people during these days? What is the significance of new year and holiday blessings? How do our blessings and best wishes help? Can we bless others with the priestly blessing even if we are not kohanim? Though I am a simple person, can I bless others? Is it appropriate to bless people with “may you always have good news to share”? Post Yom Kippur If everyone was forgiven on Yom Kippur, why are some people being punished and suffering? Why do we sound the shofar at the end of Yom Kippur? What's the difference between a regular shofar and the “great shofar” that will be sounded when Moshiach comes? Is there a connection between the call of the “great shofar” and Yom Kippur's impact on all Jews to do teshuva? Why do we sing Napoleons March at the end of Yom Kippur and not at the beginning? Why Napoleon's March when the Alter Rebbe was so opposed to him? Why is Yom Kippur exclusively a day of repentance when a person should be repenting every day? To what extent can Yom Kippur help a person who hasn't repented all year? Why did G-d send Jonah to a non-Jewish city and encourage them to repent? How can Sukkos help us in this time of war in Israel? What is the essential message of Sukkos? How does the Sukkah help us internalize the light of Yom Kippur? Why is Sukkos a time of great celebration? What is the difference between Sukkah and the four species? Are the four species spiritual weapons? How can we maximize the blessings of the Sukkah considering that it is the only mitzvah that encompasses our entire bodies? If the sechach represents the clouds of glory that protected us in the wilderness, why didn't it provide protection on October 7th? Why was pouring water during Simchas Beis HaShoeivah considered such a joyous event? How did the Rebbe revitalize this celebration? And why in the streets? War in Israel What more can we do? Is it appropriate to invoke in a note to the Rebbe the merit of his mother to have the hostages released? What is the background behind the Poalei Tzedek group, established in the town of Lubavitch, who would wake up early every morning to say Tehillim and learn Torah together, and should we recreate that today?
Rabbi Dov Yona Korn grew up in Morris Plains, NJ in a “very Reform” Jewish family and is today the shliach in NYU and several other schools in the Bowery district of NYC. In this episode, we discuss his discovering Chabad in the months after the Rebbe's passing and the difference this timing made in his own understanding of the Rebbe and Lubavitch. We also discuss how the Rebbe's ideas are filtered through layers of communal understanding, and how this communal understanding is sometimes in tension with the literal understanding of the individual. ____ Homesick for Lubavitch began a year ago as a small passion project and has grown into an important conversation in the Lubavitch community.

What were the Rebbe's essential innovations of Judaism?How might a messianic consciousness enhance our Torah lives?Tune in to hear a conversation about what Orthodox Jews outside of the Lubavitch community can learn from Chabad.
