התוכן כשהפסוק מתאר הענין דקבוץ גלויות לא"י מארבע הרוחות, אומר "ממזרח אביא זרעך וממערב אקבצך, אומר לצפון תני ולתימן אל תכלאי". דבנוגע למזרח ולמערב נאמר שהקב"ה יביא ויקבץ אותם משם, בנוגע לדרום נאמר שלא תהא מניעה מצדו – "אל תכלאי", אבל בנוגע לצפון נאמר "אומר לצפון תני" – ש"צפון" עצמו יסייע לגאולה. וזהו גם מה שראו בגאולת י"ב תמוז [שמדינת רוסיא היא צפונה לא"י] שהמדינה עצמה סייעה בשחרור. ואדרבה – כ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר העמיד תנאים בזה – שלא יסע בשבת וכו', ובעת יציאתו מהמדינה אמר והתעקש שלא ייצא בלי הספרים, עד שהוכרחו להרשות לו לקחת את כל הספרים וכו'. וזוהי גם הוראה איך תהי' הגאולה האמיתית והשלימה ע"י משיח, וכמ"ש בהפטורה דפ' בלק: שאע"פ שבנ"י יהיו באופן של "שארית יעקב בקרב עמים רבים", ו"כארי בבהמות יער", ובכ"ז תהי' הגאולה באופן "אשר לא יקוה לאיש ולא ייחל לבני אדם", שלא יבקשו רשות מאף א', ודוקא ממקום שישנם המתייאשים ר"ל היל"ת, הנה "אומר לצפון תני" בקרוב ממש.א' השיחות דהתוועדות י"ג תמוז ה'תשכ"ב ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-07-2025 Synopsis Regarding the Redemption the verse says, “From the east I will bring your seed, and from the west I will gather you. I will say to the north, ‘Give,' and to the south, ‘Do not refrain…'” Regarding the east and west, it says that Hashem will bring and gather them from there, and regarding the south it says that there will be no obstruction from that side. But regarding the north it says, “I will say to the north, ‘Give,'” meaning the north itself will assist in the Redemption. We also saw this in the redemption of 12 Tammuz (in a country that is to the north of Eretz Yisroel) – that the government itself assisted in the liberation. Moreover, the Rebbe set conditions for his release, refusing to travel on Shabbos and refusing to leave the country without all the sefarim and manuscripts, and the government was forced to comply. This also serves as a lesson as to how the true and complete Redemption through Moshiach Tzidkeinu will take place, as it says in the Haftorah of parashas Balak: although the Jewish people will be in the state of “the remnant of Yaakov in the midst of many peoples,” and “like a lion among the beasts of the forest,” nevertheless, the Redemption will come about in such a way that the Jewish people “will not hope for any man and not wait for the sons of man” – they will not seek anyone's permission. And specifically from the place where there are people in despair, Rachmana litzlan, the verse says, “I will say to the north, ‘Give,'” and very soon.Sichah from farbrengen of 13 Tammuz 5722 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=11-07-2025 לע”נ הרב אורי עזרא ב"ר יוסף יהודה ע"ה ליום היארצייט שלו ט"ו תמוז. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת בנו ר' ישעי' ‏מנחם מענדל שי' ליפש

The Rebbe responds to inquiries about a new proposal allowing yeshiva students to teach in schools for four years instead of enlisting in the army.

Can you live forever?This is a question human beings have asked since the dawn of time. From the ancient pharaohs, who buried their wives, families, and treasures with them in the hope of securing eternity, to today's cryogenic freezing of DNA and other strange attempts to discover the fountain of youth—people have tried everything imaginable to outsmart mortality.Look around us: the booming pharmaceutical industry, Botox, plastic surgery—all driven by the desire to slow down, mask, or even reverse the aging process. We spend fortunes trying to look young, to feel young, to hold back the inevitable. But despite all this, has anyone truly figured out how to conquer death, the ultimate end of mortal life?And yet, beneath all these efforts lies a deeper longing. Every one of us yearns to make an impact, to leave a lasting, eternal mark on this universe. We don't just want to exist—we want to matter forever.Is that really possible? Is there a path to a life that transcends time?Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson for this essential and timely conversation that touches each of us at our core. Together, we'll uncover the spiritual principles that reveal the path to true immortality.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:Tammuz What does the month teach us? Why would our Sages adopt this month's name Tammuz when this is the name of a Babylonian deity?! What lies behind the paradox of Tammuz? What does it teach us about facing our present challenges? What is the central theme and lesson from this week's Torah portion? Does it have a connection with this month? Why is Balaam's blessing so fundamental, to the point that we say it in our morning prayer? Who would be considered a modern-day Balaam? What does the idol worship of Baal Peor signify? Why are we told the story of Zimri's despicable public behavior? Why and how do we celebrate this day? How does the liberation of 12-13 Tammuz impact us today? Why is it a two-day holiday? What can we learn from that? What did the Frierdiker Rebbe say to those assembled at the train station as he boarded the train to Kastroma? What can this day teach us about antisemitism today? Can we compare Jewish Hamas supporters to the yevsektzia? Can we contact him? How can we invite him and the woman who lit the candles to inspire our community? What lessons can we learn from this story? How has this story inspired others? What is the power of lighting candles? How can I use this story to motivate my wife to light Shabbos candles? Where does the expression originate from? Is it appropriate to use?  What is the Torah's perspective on the future of the world? Balak Yud Beis-Yud Gimmel Tammuz The story with the musician inspiring a woman to light candles gone viralNew World Order 

The Rebbe emphasizes that each person has a unique role in serving Hashem and must focus on their own mission rather than judging others or even themselves too harshly. He encourages continued positive action, especially in Torah, and expresses hope for ongoing success, particularly in the auspicious days surrounding 12–13 Tammuz. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/011/5582

He concludes with a reminder to maintain the daily study of Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/011/5587

The Rebbe expresses surprise at the long silence, noting each day has unique Torah and mitzvah purpose. He encourages renewed commitment, emphasizing that every command is also a promise.

The Rebbe advises seeking guidance from Yeshiva and network leadership about the teaching offer. He encourages spreading Chassidus during Yud-Beis–Yud-Gimmel Tammuz and warns that texts like Sefer HaYosifun require expert scrutiny due to possible distortions. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/011/5585

On the eve of Shabbos, the Rebbe blesses the campers and staff of Gan Yisroel with success in all areas, that the camp fulfill its mission of cultivating fruitful growth through Torah, mitzvos, and Chassidus, making it a true garden and dwelling for Hashem. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/011/5584

The Rebbe urges continued efforts in Albany to promote Torah and purity, which hasten the coming of Mashiach, especially in the auspicious days of 12–13 Tammuz, when self-sacrifice overcame all concealments. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/011/5583

התוכן [המשך] מזמן לזמן מראה ה' נסים גלויים, ובדורנו זה – החל מי"ג תמוז והשתלשלות המאורעות בהמשך זה, שכ"ז בא עי"ז שיהודי מחליט בתוקף שאינו מתחשב בשום דבר שמנגד ליהדות, כי המציאות היא שאין להם שום שליטה עליו! המענה ליהודי ש"נשבה לבין העכו"ם" וטוען שלא שמע על זה מעולם..., הוא: הקשר שלו עם התורה ויהדות החל עוד לפני שיצא לאויר העולם (ולמצב זה) – בהיותו במעי אמו "נר דלוק על ראשו . . ומלמדין אותו כל התורה כולה"! זהו מציאותו האמיתית שאין בכח "אויר העולם" לשנותו! תובעים ממנו רק לחזור למציאותו האמיתית. חבל על הזמן שיעבור עד שיבין את הדברים – עליו לקיימם בפועל באופן ד"הקדמת נעשה ונשמע", וסוכ"ס גם יבין אותם. ובפרט שהוא יודע בעצמו שזהו דרך חיים שהלכו בו אבותיו ואבות-אבותיו, ומסרו נפשם על כך. וזוהי ההוראה מהגאולה של כ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר שצוה להדפיס ולפרסם שכל יהודי נגאל באותה גאולה ממש! ובכל זה מיתוסף עי"ז שמתאספים בביהכנ"ס וביהמ"ד (ו)שבו הוא למד והתפלל ו"קדושה לא זזה ממקומו" ו"מה זרעו בחיים אף הוא בחיים"!ב' חלקים משיחת אור ליום ג' פ' בלק, י"ג תמוז ה'תשמ"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=09-07-2025 Synopsis (Continued.) From time to time, Hashem performs open miracles; in our generation it began with 13 Tammuz and the events that followed, all of which resulted from a Jew firmly deciding not to take into account anything that opposes Yiddishkeit, because the reality is that anything that opposes Yiddishkeit has no control over a Jew whatsoever. And if a Jew was “taken captive among the nations,” and he argues that he has never heard about this before, the response is that his connection to Torah and Yiddishkeit began before he entered this situation and before he was born, because when he was in his mother's womb, “A candle was lit above his head... and he was taught the entire Torah.” This is his true reality, and the world has no power to change it; he is simply called upon to return to his true reality. And it would be a shame for him to wait until he understands it; rather, “We will do” must come before “We will hear,” and ultimately he will come to understand it as well. Especially because he himself knows that his great-grandparents and the generations before them lived this way, sacrificing their lives for it. This is the lesson from the liberation of my father-in-law, the Rebbe, which he instructed to print and publicize, that every Jew was liberated as part of the same liberation that he experienced. And all of this is bolstered even more when we gather in a place of Torah and a place of davening, and the place where he learned and davened; “holiness does not depart from its place,” and “Just as his offspring is alive, he too is alive.”2 excerpts from sichah of Monday night, parashas Balak, 13 Tammuz 5745 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=09-07-2025

Rebbe explains Rashi's meaning regarding the Korban Tamid—that each day has its uniquely designated time for that offering.

The Rebbe warns that holding elections in Eretz Yisrael now may harm the local and global Jewish community. He urges unity among religious parties and suggests efforts to delay or cancel the elections. Sends blessings for Shavuot with a newly published kuntres. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/004_igros_kodesh/sivan/1032

Chag Hageulah - Yud-Beis Tammuz (22:42)

התוכן הלימוד מההמאסר והגאולה דכ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר: עבודתו של יהודי במילוי תכלית בריאותו בשלימות אפשרית רק בהיותו "בן חורין", ומאז יציאת מצרים זהו מהותו הפנימי (ואפי' הגבלות החיצוניות הן רק כדי שהוא יבחור בבחירתו החפשית לקיים תומ"צ כ"בן חורין"). וכפי שהדגיש זאת כ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר, שגם בשבתו במאסר הראה שאינו מתפעל מהם כלל ובכל הענינים הקשורים עם הקב"ה תומ"צ הרי הוא "בן חורין". וכפי שהכריז בג' תמוז, לפני נסיעתו ל"גלות" – ש"רק גופותינו ניתנו בגלות ובשעבוד מלכיות", וגם זה גופא – ע"י הקב"ה, ובמילא מובן שאין לגלות שום שליטה על יהודי בנוגע לעניני יהדות. והנהגה זו הביאה לשחרורו לגמרי תוך זמן קצר! וההוראה: גם יהודי שהוא במצב ש"יצרו הוא שתקפו" או מפני ש"נשבה לבין העכו"ם" וכו' – מציאותו האמיתית הוא "בן חורין", בן ועבדו של הקב"ה ודבר ברור ש"לא ידח ממנו נדח"! ונתינת-כח מיוחדת להתעורר ולגלות זאת, הוא – הגאולה די"ב-י"ג תמוז, ששייך לכל יהודי אפי ל"גם את אשר בשם ישראל [רק] יכונה" [המשך יבוא]משיחת אור ליום ג' פ' בלק, י"ג תמוז ה'תשמ"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=08-07-2025 Synopsis The lesson from the imprisonment and liberation of my father-in-law, the Rebbe, is that a Jew can only fulfill his purpose when is a free person. Since the Exodus from Egypt a Jew is inherently free (even the external limitations exist only to give him free will so that he can choose to keep Torah and mitzvos as a free person). As the Rebbe emphasized, even in prison he demonstrated that he was not deterred by his imprisonment at all, and in all matters of Hashem, Torah, and mitzvos, he remained a free person, as he proclaimed openly on 3 Tammuz before being sent into “exile” – “Only our bodies were placed into in exile and subjugation to the nations,” and even then, it was by Hashem; therefore it is understood that exile has no control over a Jew in all matters of Yiddishkeit, and this approach led to his complete liberation after a very short time. The lesson is that even a Jew who finds himself “forced by his inclination” or who was “taken captive among the gentiles” etc., in essence he remains a free person, and a child and servant of Hashem, and it is certain that “none who is banished will remain banished.” We are especially empowered in this regard by the liberation of 12-13 Tammuz, which is a liberation for every Jew, even one who is only “called by the name ‘Israel.'” (To be continued.)Excerpt from sichah of Monday night, parashas Balak, 13 Tammuz 5745. For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=08-07-2025 לזכות חנה מושקא בת שטערנא שרה שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלה י"ב תמוזלשנת ברכה והצלחה רבה ומופלגה בכל בגו"ר מתוך בריאות נכונה ומנוחת הנפש והגוףנדבת הורי' ר' חיים ברוך ושטערנא שרה שיחיו אלבסקי

התוכן סיום שלישי דפ' בלק הוא "ויאמר בלעם אל בלק גו' היכול אוכל דבר מאומה, הדבר אשר ישים אלקים בפי אותו אדבר". בפסוקים שלפנ"ז מסופר רק שבלעם לא הי' יכול לעבור את פי ה' ולומר דיבורים שנאסרו עליו לומר וכיו"ב וכן שאותם הדיבורים שהקב"ה צוהו לדבר, הי' מוכרח לאמרם. ועל זה מחדש פסוק זה שבלעם מצ"ע לא הי' יכול לדבר מאומה! – בלעם, מנהיגם של כל באי עולם בזמן ההוא, ונבואתו היתה בדרגת משה רבינו [מאחר שהוא הי' הלעו"ז של משה] הנה הסדר הוא שמצ"ע לא יכול לדבר כלל! ומזה הוראה ועידוד לבנ"י, שכאשר שומע מאוה"ע דיבורים שאינם כדבעי – יש לדעת שדיבורים אלו אינם "שלהם"! ואפי' המנהיגים שלהם אינם יכולים דבר מאומה מצ"ע! ובמילא אין שום דבר שיכול למונעו מלקיים שליחותו של בעל הגאולה! כי אין שום דבר בעולם שיכול לדבר, ועאכו"כ לעשות, מאומה שאינו בהתאם לרצונו של נשיא דורנו!משיחת י"ב תמוז ה'תשמ"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=06-07-2025 Synopsis The conclusion of shelishi of parashas Balak states, “Balaam said to Balak... ‘…But do I have any power to say a thing? The word that Hashem puts into my mouth, that is what I will speak.'” The earlier verses tell us only that Balaam was unable to say anything he was forbidden to say, and that he was forced to say what Hashem commanded him to say, but this verse adds a new point: that Balaam could not say anything on his own at all. Balaam was the leader of all the nations of the world at that time, and his level of prophecy was comparable to that of Moshe Rabbeinu (because he was the counterpart of Moshe in the realm of unholiness) – yet other than words put into his mouth by Hashem, he was unable to speak at all. This serves as a lesson, encouragement and empowerment for the Jewish people: when we hear the nations of the world saying improper things, it isn't really their words; even their leaders are unable to say anything on their own. Therefore, there is nothing in the world that can prevent a Jew from fulfilling the mission entrusted to him by the baal hageulah, because nothing in the world can say – and certainly not do – anything that does not align with the will of the Rebbe, the Nasi of our generation.Excerpt from sichah of 12 Tammuz 5745 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=06-07-2025

Send us a textWhat do the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, zt”l, and the Chabad Chassidic movement have to do with criminal justice reform?  Find out in the latest episode of the JustPod, with our guest, Rabbi Yossi Bryski, the Director of Alternative Sentencing at the Aleph Institute. Aleph was founded in 1981 at the Rebbe's direction, and for over 40 years since, has served individuals of all backgrounds and faiths in prison programs, reentry programs, alternative sentencing programs, and in advocacy, while providing services for the families of inmates, including summer camps for the children of inmates.Rabbi Bryski and his team work with defense counsel to craft alternative sentencing proposals for offenders.  And as a result of their work, federal and state courts across the country have accepted Aleph's creative alternative sentencing proposals.  You're just a click away from stories and experiences that are both heartwarming and inspiring.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:Gimmel Tammuz How can we describe and explain this day? How do we honor this day? Why do we say that the presence of a tzaddik is stronger after they pass away?  What was the Rebbe's last major teaching before Chof Zayin Adar and Gimmel Tammuz? What maamar of the Rebbe would you recommend we study on this day? How is Gimmel Tammuz this year, 31 years later, different from previous years? Are there guidelines on how to pray at the Ohel to realize the best results? Why do some people see their prayers fulfilled more than others? Is there a connection between Korach challenging Moshe's leadership and Gimmel Tammuz? Is there a connection with the theme of Parshas Chukas, about purification from the toxins of death? What can we do to not feel depressed and threatened by today's world events? What did the Rebbe say about wars waged in Persia? Can we say that the Rebbe is Moshiach after Gimmel Tammuz? Will everyone in the world immediately know that Moshiach has arrived? Is this a positive thing? What would the Rebbe say? Is there a connection between Khamenei and Haman? Did the Rebbe say that one way to defeat irrational hatred is by increasing in irrational love? What is the connection between suprarational laws and engraved letters – both interpretations of the word Chukas? What can we learn from the story of Moshe hitting the rock instead of speaking to it? What would the Rebbe advise?  Should we move out of New York?How will those sensitive to heat move to Israel?Ceasefire between Israel and Iran Chukas How should we react to the nomination of an anti-Israel NY Mayoral candidate? What lessons can we learn from the recent heat wave?

In this special Gimmel Tammuz episode, we reflect on the legacy, leadership, and transformative vision of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, 31 years after his histalkus. Featuring moving conversations with Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz, Rabbi Yosef Bronstein, and Rabbi Shlomo Katz, this episode explores how the Rebbe's teachings continue to shape Jewish life today, from his unmatched scholarship and moral clarity, to his relentless optimism and unconditional Ahavas Yisrael.   Whether you're Chabad, not Chabad, or simply searching for deeper meaning in your Yiddishkeit, this episode offers a powerful reminder of the Rebbe's call to action: to learn Torah with purpose, love every Jew as part of yourself, and transform the world—one mitzvah, one encounter, one soul at a time.     Sichos in English is the leading publisher of Chassidus in English.
