What is unique about the month of Kislev, and what lessons does it offer us?  Yud Kislev What do we learn from this day? What distinguishes the liberations of the Mitteler Rebbe's on Yud Kislev and the Alter Rebbe on Yud Tes Kislev? How are these differences connected to chochmah and binah? Do we know why this day is not celebrated with the same level of festivities as the 19th of Kislev?  Can you summarize the Maamar Padah B'sholom Nafshi, delivered by the Rebbe on the 10th of Kislev 5722? What was the name of the Mitteler Rebbe's maamar discussing the reasons for the decree of drafting the Cantonists? And what lessons can we learn from it that we can apply to other tragedies and evil decrees against us? Why is this the day that connected the Rebbe to us? How do we practically apply the Rebbe and the Rebbe's anniversary to our personal lives? What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? What is the deeper meaning in the story of Jacob and Esau – their battle and reconciliation? What are the cosmic and historic implications of their confrontations, and how is it connected to Yud Tes Kislev?  Why were the “small vessels” so important that Jacob put himself at risk by returning to retrieve them?  Why did Esau's angel wrestle with Jacob and displace his hip?  Can we contrast that with Jacob protecting his head with stones earlier? What is the significance of the angel changing his name to Yisroel, and why does he retain the name Yaakov? Why is Isaac the only one of the patriarchs that did not have his name changed? Are the names of Yaakov and Yisroel connected to tiferes? What lesson do we learn from the detailed descriptions and names of Esau's progeny? Now that the hostages have been released, what can I do to apologize to G-d for my earlier complaints to Him?Yud Dalet Kislev Vayishlach Do people with mental health issues or addictions have free will?  Hostages Freed 

In this heart-opening conversation, Rabbi Bernath shares a powerful true story of a needy bride who felt ashamed to accept financial help, until she discovers that she is a partner, not a burden. Drawing on the Torah's teaching of Yissachar and Zevulun, and Chassidic wisdom from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, he reveals the revolutionary idea that tzedakah is not a one-way act of charity but a sacred spiritual partnership. Through moving stories, including a dramatic tale of a Hatzalah medic and his unlikely agreement with a butcher afraid of blood the message becomes clear: the giver and receiver elevate and bless one another. Each act of kindness is a mutual exchange of soul-energy that strengthens Jewish unity and brings the world closer to redemption.Key TakeawaysReceiving is also giving. The recipient grants the giver the opportunity to fulfill a supreme mitzvah and gain spiritual merit.Tzedakah is a partnership. Like Yissachar and Zevulun, both the supporter and the one supported share in the mitzvah.Spiritual reward is shared. Jewish law and Chassidic teachings affirm that those who enable mitzvot receive a full portion of the merit.Everyone has something to give. Whether materially or spiritually, we each fill in what others lack.Unity is our strength. Caring for one another is the secret of Jewish survival and the catalyst for redemption.Acts of kindness transform the world. When we give and receive with dignity, we illuminate each other's lives and G-d's world.End-of-Year Giving | Spread the Light With UsEvery soul you help us reach is another candle blazing against the darkness.

The Rebbe gave Sheldon Bear tefillin and told him to wear them every day. They saved his life in battle.

In this remarkable conversation, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath sits down with Rabbi Dovid Eliezrie to explore UNdaunted, his newly released biography of the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, a hero of Jewish history whose courage rewrote the future. We journey through the Rebbe's extraordinary childhood, discovering how early acts of bravery shaped a leader who would one day defy empires and rebuild Jewish life across the world.Rabbi Eliezrie speaks of the Rebbe's profound influence on Montreal, from the spiritual infrastructure he inspired, to the seeds of community he planted that continue to flourish today. Along the way, Rabbi Eliezrie shares gripping stories, newly uncovered insights, and the human side of a leader whose love for every Jew was as fierce as his fight for our future.This conversation isn't only about the past, it's about the fire that still burns in us. The Previous Rebbe taught us to never bow to fear, never settle for less, and never stop believing in the infinite power of the Jewish soul.Rabbi David Eliezrie, a master storyteller, community builder, global Jewish leader, and the author of the newly released Undaunted, his monumental biography of the Frierdiker Rebbe, the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe whose life reads like a symphony of faith and fearlessness. Rabbi Eliezrie is the senior Shliach in Yorba Linda, president of the Rabbinical Council of Orange County, a senior advisor to JRNU, and a respected voice in Jewish life both in Israel and around the world. He's written bestselling works (The Secret of Chabad was a National Jewish Book Award finalist) and has the rare gift of being able to weave historical depth with a storyteller's heart.This book, Undaunted is something different. It's sweeping, deeply researched, and filled with moments that remind you what spiritual courage looks like in real life. It's the story of a Rebbe who fought czars, communists, assimilation, and despair… and somehow managed to strengthen Judaism in every place he touched.You can purchase the book INDIGO https://www.indigo.ca/en-ca/undaunted-how-the-sixth-lubavitcher-rebbe-yosef-yitzchak-schneersohn-saved-russian-jewry-reimagined-american-judaism-ignited-a-global-jewish-renaissance/9781592647262.htmlAMAZON USA https://www.amazon.com/Undaunted-Lubavitcher-Schneersohn-Reimagined-Renaissance/dp/159264726XAMAZON CANADA https://www.amazon.ca/Undaunted-Lubavitcher-Schneersohn-Reimagined-Renaissance-ebook/dp/B0FT3GYP31Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

​1)      If a chutznik visits Eretz Yisroel between the 7th of Cheshvan and the 5th of December, he says ותן טל ומטר. But there are different opinions whether he continues doing so after having returned to Chutz lo'Oretz. What's our guidance?[1]2)      Can water for Negel Vasser be kept under the bed?[2]3)      I live alone in a small apartment and I own a cat. When leaving my dwelling on Shabbos, as I close my front door, am I not ‘trapping' the cat indoors?[3]4)      May we hang up a chart of ויהי בנסוע & בריך שמי' inside an Oron Kodesh?[4]5)      I was at a family Sheva Brochos and there was no mechitza. Was I allowed to decline the honour of reciting one of the Sheva Brochos?[5]6)      One who missed Musaf is unable to compensate to repeat the Amidah at a later slot, because if the Musaf sacrifice were missed, there's no option for compensating later. But aren't all our Amidos corresponding to the daily Korbanos?[6]7)      At the International Kinus haShluchim I mistakenly took someone else's black hat. I assume he has my hat. Am I permitted to use this hat?[7]8)      Why is the number 80 written in a Kesuba (שמנים) without the letter Vov?[8]9)      In recordings we hear the Rebbe put the dot before בחמלה.

The Rebbe emphasizes that vitality follows effort: learning must be steady and disciplined, even without inner excitement at first. Through consistent study—during and between sederim—and keeping the daily Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya cycles, the promise of “You toiled and found” is fulfilled. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/002/5860

The Rebbe emphasizes conducting business with natural effort alongside Hashem's blessing for success, highlights careful observance of family customs such as married women's hair practices, and stresses that proper home chinuch and Torah guidance bring divine blessing and lasting spiritual influence. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/002/5868

The Rebbe wishes that no further pain be known in the family, explaining that the promised “double consolation” signifies a far greater and higher good, and prays for both personal and collective comfort with the imminent coming of Moshiach. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/002/5859
