The first letter addresses a man overwhelmed by overthinking. The Rebbe urges him to stop analyzing his inner state and instead live simply: care for the body, act with sincerity, and begin without overplanning. The second letter teaches that how we look at others shapes them—seeing with a generous eye draws out their best and […]

In this letter, the Rebbe thanks the noted Hebrew author Eliezer Steinman for writing about Chabad Chassidus—but then adds a deeper point. To write about something truthfully, it's not enough to understand it intellectually. You have to live it. Only when an idea becomes part of your own experience can you express it in a […]

The Rebbe responds to a report of someone feeling spiritually discouraged. He explains that a feeling of brokenness can sometimes be constructive—like a seed that must first decay in the ground before it can grow—but only if it leads to renewed effort and increased action in Yiddishkeit. If, however, it weakens a person's resolve and diminishes their activity, it is not healthy bitterness but harmful sadness.

Need I separate Challoh, with a brocho?[2]3)       Someone gave me a necklace with an image of Pisces.May I wear it? [3]4)      A man living alone lights candles each Friday. If he accidentally forgot to light one Friday, is he now bound to light an extra candle henceforth?[4]  5)      May one buy a gift for one's spouse for their wedding-anniversary, when the recipient is within the year mourning after the passing of a parent?[5]6)      The front halves of my Talleisim-Ketanim tend to get very soiled and even laundering doesn't leave them clean. Would I be allowed to cut the garments at shoulder level and then join two back halves into one Talis-Koton?[6]7)      On Shabbos a mouse got caught in a trap in my bedroom. May I remove it?[7]8)      I have a vacuum-robot that cleans my floor every night.

In a powerful letter to an educator discouraged by what he perceived as a lack of success in influencing his students, the Rebbe explains why despair is more dangerous than being overly satisfied. Influence, especially on youth, is never wasted—even if the results only become visible years later. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-15.pdf

A man writes that he has “never seen good in his life.” The Rebbe sharply challenges this claim: a person blessed with a spouse and children walking in the path of Torah cannot call himself deprived. Ingratitude blinds one to visible blessings—and may itself block further blessing in health and livelihood. Gratitude and joy reopen the channel.

Hi everyone, welcome back to another episode of The Chai on Life Podcast. I'm Alex Segal and today, I am speaking with Rebbetzin Rivky Slonim. Rivky is the Associate Director at the Chabad Center for Jewish Student Life at Binghamton University. An internationally known teacher, lecturer, and activist, she travels widely, addressing the intersection of traditional Jewish observance and contemporary life, with a special focus on Jewish women in Jewish law and life. She is the author of the book, Holy Intimacy: The Heart and Soul of Jewish Marriage and editor of Total Immersion: A Mikvah Anthology as well as Bread and Fire; Jewish Women find God in the Everyday. She is also the mother of nine children.Rivky is also someone very special to me. When I was just beginning my Jewish journey at Binghamton University, she was my personal teacher, role model and guide as I moved through the early stages of learning more about Judaism. I still remember the taste of her challah on Friday nights, the way she commanded a room of hundreds each week and how she really found love for every student that walked through her doors. When thinking about who to interview for a Pesach episode, she just felt like such a powerful choice. In this episode, we get into it and speak about:-How she ended up at Binghamton University on shlichus-How to reframe your mindset on Pesach so you don't feel so overburdened and stressed out-What the true definition of freedom is according to the Rebbe and how that manifests in everyday life-Why the book of Shemos where we learn about Yetziyas Mitzrayim is such a feminine book of the Torah-How a woman who is so forward facing and such a doer can then become a receiver, or mekabel in marriage-A new approach if you're not feeling so inspired by the mikvah experience, and how we can bring that mindset through all of the mitzvot we do-The difference between spirituality and having a relationship with Hashem-The most important thing to teach our children today…and soooo much more.As I said, Rivky is a powerhouse and this episode really delivers. I am so grateful she took the time to speak with us before Pesach and I hope this conversation gives you insights to bring with you throughout the holiday and beyond.

The first letter of the evening, to a yeshiva bachur, explains how acceptance of Hashem's yoke begins with disciplined adherence to the yeshiva's daily schedule, without exceptions—even for seemingly holy reasons. Consistent structure, he explains, gradually cultivates genuine inner submission and spiritual growth. In tonight's second letter, the Rebbe addresses the letter writer's discouragement about finding a match, insisting both the possibility and the path exist—and urging him not to delay pursuing a shidduch through proper intermediaries.

When a person feels a strong urge to help the public, how can he know if the motive is truly pure? The Rebbe explains why overanalyzing intentions can actually block good action—and offers a practical test for recognizing when a thought comes from a healthy source.

The Rebbe firmly redirects a writer who had become interested in mystical “segulos,” urging him to abandon such paths and return to a far more reliable source of wisdom. In the same letter, he also challenges the writer's assumption that he lacks the ability to make a meaningful difference in helping others.

This week I have three stories for you. The first is about a melamed that searches for the Rebbe who he met in Heaven, the second about a ruble that the Tzemach Tzedek lent to a melamed that no one would take and the third an unexpected scene of drunk goyim in the presence of a Tzadik. If you're enjoying these Chassidic stories, please take a quick moment to buy me a coffee. https://ko-fi.com/barakhullman Thank you! I deeply appreciate your support!
