התוכן א' הסיפורים שכ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר סיפר מה שקרה כשהמאסר הי' עוד בתקפו: מיד כשנכנס למאסר החליט בתוקף לא להתפעל מהם כלל ולהחשיב אותם לאין ואפס! ביום ה', אדר"ח תמוז, בשעה 11:00 בבוקר, נכנסו אליו ג' שוטרים וציוו עליו לקום! (לקבל הודעה) כיון שזה הי' סימן לקבלת מרותם, אמר באידיש, שלא יקום! אמר לו א' מהם (שהבין אידיש) שיכו אותו! ענה: נו..., עשו כך והלכו. נכנסה עוד קבוצת שוטרים וביניהם לולאוו (שהי' מגזע חסידים ומאלו שאסרו אותו) שאמר: רבי! הרי רוצים למסור לך הקלה! לא ענה. אמר: הרי יכו אותך! לא ענה. הכו אותו והלכו, וכך קרה פעם שלישית, בסוף קראו והודיעו לו שהוא משתחרר ושולחים אותו בלילה לקאסטראמא לג' שנים ויגיע לשם בשבת, אמר: בשבת הוא לא נוסע בשום אופן! נשאר א"כ בכלא עד יום א' (ג' תמוז) ואז שחררו אותו ונסע לקאסטראמא. וסיפר שר' מיכאל דווארקין הגיע שם לפניו ומיד יסד שם חדר! ההוראה: כשיהודי מחליט שכל המונעים ומעכבים הם אין ואפס, והחלטה זו לא משתנית גם כשמכים אותו כמ"פ - פועל שגם יהודי שהי' בלעו"ז מכיר בו כ"רבי", וסוכ"ס ממלא תפקידו!ב' חלקים משיחת י"ג תמוז ה'תשכ"ב ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=31-05-2026 Synopsis My father-in-law related that when he was arrested, he resolved from the outset not to be intimidated at all, and to regard his oppressors as absolute nothingness. On Thursday, the first day of Rosh Chodesh Tammuz, at 11:00 in the morning, three officers entered his cell and ordered him to stand. Since standing was a sign of accepting their authority, he replied in Yiddish that he would not get up. When one of the officers told him that if he refused they would beat him, he said, “Nu…,” and they beat him and left. Then another group of officers entered, among them Lulav (one of the individuals who arrested the Rebbe, and who came from a Chassidic background). He said: “Rebbe! They want to inform you of a leniency!” When the Rebbe did not reply, he warned the Rebbe that he would be beaten, but still the Rebbe said nothing. Again, they beat him and left. This happened a third time. Finally, they summoned the Rebbe to the office and informed him that he was being released and exiled to Kostroma for three years. When they told him that he would have to leave that night and arrive in Kostroma on Shabbos, he said that under no circumstances would he travel on Shabbos, and therefore he remained in prison until Sunday (3 Tammuz). He also related that the Chassid Reb Michoel Dvorkin traveled to Kostroma before the Rebbe's arrival, and immediately established a cheder and repaired the mikveh there. The lesson is that when a Jew resolves firmly that all obstacles are absolute nothingness, and he does not depart from this resolution even when he is hit several times, the result is that even a Jew who was on the opposing side recognizes him as “Rebbe,” and ultimately fulfills his mission.2 excerpts from sichah of 13 Tammuz 5722 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=31-05-2026 לע"נ ר' מאיר ב"ר בנציון הלוי ע"ה וויינבוים ליום היארצייט שלו ט"ו סיון. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.

The Mishneh Torah was the Rambam's (Rabbi Moses ben Maimon) magnum opus, a work spanning hundreds of chapters and describing all of the laws mentioned in the Torah. To this day it is the only work that details all of Jewish observance, including those laws which are only applicable when the Holy Temple is in place. Participating in one of the annual study cycles of these laws (3 chapters/day, 1 chapter/day, or Sefer Hamitzvot) is a way we can play a small but essential part in rebuilding the final Temple.

Kesher Lulav & Hidur Mitzva - Document for Daf 27 by Simon Wolf
1) When reciting the entire Tehillim on Shabbos Mevorchim,does everyone recite the Yehi Rotzon after each Sefer?[1]2) After Succos is over, we are advised to hold on to the Lulav - to use for baking Matzo, and to the Hoshanos – to use for buring Chomeitz. Why not the same for the leftover wicks at the end of Chanukah?[2]3) A Menorah-lightin at a sports arena, where you have to remove and or put out the Menorah soon after the lighting, does that present a problem re. saying the brochos?[3]4) For שנים מקרא this past Shabbos, should I have reviewed all four Haftoros: Mikeitz, Chanukah, Shabbos Rosh Chodesh, Mochor Chodesh?[4]5) This past Shabbos we took out three Sifrei Torah. However, the Bal Korei ended Shishi at the end of Shishi,forgetting that the Shvi'i should read the Rosh Chodesh passage in the 2nd Sefer-Torah. What should be done for the reading of Shvi'i?[5] 6) We avoid eating a unit of fruit that is less than a kazayis,because of the dilemma whether it warrants a Brocho Acharona. What if I cut the fruit in half before eating?[6]7) May bread that was baked in a ben yomo meaty oven, be eaten with butter?[7]8) What is the brocho for Bread and Butter Pudding?[8]9) A man wishes to put on Rabenu Tam Tefilin as a one-off; good idea or not?[9]10) Today's Hayom Yom: Shiur to avoid Chibut haKever: holy words 1/6th of the day:[10]To sponsor a Shiur – to honour a special occasion -contact: dayan@lubavitchuk.com[1] ראהמכתב כ"ק אדמו"ר זי"ע שבסוף תהלים אהל יוסף יצחק.

Was this a problem? How could one get around this issue, on a practical and on a halachic level?[10]________________________________________[1] לשעת הביכורי יעקב (סי' תרלה סק"ב) סוכת גנב"ך אינה לכתחילה.[2] להשו"ע או"ח סי' רב ס"ז, תמרים שנתמעכו לא אבדה ברכתן. הרמ"א חולק בפאווידלע. להמשנ"ב (שם ס"ק מב) חולק הרמ"א גם בשאר פירות שנתמעכו. אבל אדה"ז בשו"ע שלו שם סכ"ב סתם, ומשמע שהתמרים לעולם בפה"ע. ולענין ברכה אחרונה נסתפק המשנ"ב – במקרה שברכת הפרי היא 'שהכל'. אבל לאדה"ז – שברכתו הראשונה בפה"ע, א"כ אין ספק בברכה אחרונה – אם אכל כזית של תמר בתוך התערובת. וע"ע שערי הברכה פכ"ג הע' מו.

SUKKOTSukkot is a seven-day festival that follows five days after Yom Kippur. It was to be observed by “living” in “booths,” or the “sukkah,” which served to remind the Jewish people of the forty years they wandered in the wilderness, when the nation came out of Egypt, in route to the Land of Promise. They dwelt in temporary structures, and the Lord Himself dwelt in the Tabernacle. Because the “sukkah” was a weak structure, it symbolized the fragility of their own lives, and the loss of Israel's national aspirations. It also served to remind the nation of their future hope of restoration and glory when Messiah returns and establishes the Messianic Kingdom (Amos 9:11).According to Leviticus 23:33-43, four plants were to be used in the worship of the Lord on this occasion. First, is the פְּרִי עֵץ הָדָר “fruit of goodly trees,” or the etrog, which is a citrus-type fruit much like an extra-large lemon. Second, is the כַּפֹּת תְּמָרִים “branches of palm-trees,” known as the lulav. Third, is the עֱנַף עֵץ-עָבֹת “boughs of thick trees,” also called the hadass, the branch of a myrtle tree. Fourth, is the עַרְבֵי-נָחַל “willows of the brook,” referring to the aravah, the willow branch. It ought not surprise us then that on Sukkot, Yeshua, himself, would make certain statements regarding his Messiahship in connection with these two most important ceremonies. During the water pouring ceremony, which symbolized Israel's prayer for rain and the outpouring of the Spirit of God upon the nation, Yeshua said, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from his innermost being” (John 7:37-38). In connection with the “lighting of the lampstands” ceremony, Yeshua proclaimed on Sukkot, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12). Prophetically, Sukkot will have its fulfillment during the Messianic kingdom. While the first four festivals were all prophetically fulfilled by the first coming of Messiah, so the latter three festivals will be fulfilled by the second coming of Messiah. Zechariah foretells, “Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem, will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles” (Zechariah 14:16).SIMCHAT TORAHSimchat Torah is a Jewish holiday that celebrates and marks the conclusion of the annual cycle of public Torah readings, and the beginning of a new cycle. Simchat Torah is a component of the Biblical Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret ("Eighth Day of Assembly"), which follows immediately after the festival of Sukkot in the month of Tishrei (occurring in September or October on the Gregorian calendar).YouTube: https://youtu.be/AnJGKyLWYBISend us a text

Mitzvah Haba'ah B'aveirah with Lulav, Ptur Mitztaer & Iyun in Sukkah (Sukkos 5786)
Warding-off the dangers from literally all directions. In both the personal life, and in the life of the Jewish People
In this edition, Rabbi Dobrusin considers one tradition regarding the lulav and etrog, symbols of the holiday of Sukkot, and relates that tradition to the reality within Jewish communities today.

The Gemara discusses whether the Sukkah represents the Ananei HaKavod or physical huts. Rabbi Stark explains how not only were there actual clouds but they were clouds like you wouldn't believe.

Hilchot Chatzitza Part 2: Libs make the styles!! Shaking Lulav with a ring on?!? It's been the style in Paris for decades…
Resh Lakish poses a question: What happens to a lulav - a palm branch - from a tree that has been worshipped? That is, in the event that it was planted to begin with in the name of idolatry. Does the use for a mitzvah make it more likely to be permitted? More likely to be forbidden? What about for regular use? Rav Dimi has a different understanding by which to answer Resh Lakish -- consider a tree that was planted for idolatry, and then that status was revoked. Now what, when it comes to mitzvot? Rav Pappa says there's no revocation (in other examples) when it comes to mitzvot. Also, new mishnayot! If one's home abuts the home of an idolater - divide the wall according to thickness. Note - the privacy of the bathroom. Plus, stones that were used to support idols vs. stones that had a covering that was connected to idolatry, and you removed any connection to idolatry....
