Parshas Vayeira: Laughter of Redemption Our Parsha tells of Avraham and Sarah, who at one hundred and ninety years old, are blessed with a son, Yitzchak, “he will laugh.” The Rebbe teaches that this name, written in the future tense, reflects not laughter from disbelief, but the joy yet to come, the laughter of redemption.. In honor of Eretz Yisroel – May G-d protect our brave soldiers, comfort all who grieve, and bring healing to our nation. Dedicated in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia.

התוכן כ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר סיפר פעם אודות המאורע שאירע בי"ב תמוז ה'תרנ"ה ב"אוהל" בליובאוויטש, כשהלך לשם עם אביו, כ"ק אדמו"ר (מהורש"ב) נ"ע: כשהגיעו לשם, פתח אביו את ארון הקודש וחזר על חצי הא' של אגה"ק "חגרה בעוז מתני'". לאח"ז אמר לו שבפני אבותיו הק' ה"ה "כורת ברית" אתו ומוסר לידיו את ההנהלה של עסקנות ציבורית בגו"ר, ומביא אותו ל"עקידה", והרי בענין ה"עקידה" צ"ל עוקד ונעקד כדי שיהי' כפי הרצוי. התחלת העבודה צ"ל ב"מתנים" (קבלת עול). וצריך ל"חגרם" ב"עוז" – מסירות נפש! ומהו מס"נ – "אַזוי און נישט אַנדערש!". וזהו ענין ה"עקידה" [וסיים האגה"ק]. זה שכ"ק מו"ח סיפר לנו אודות פרטי המאורע של ההכנה דכניסה שלו לעסקנות ציבורית, הוא כדי להורות שכדי שהעבודה דהפצת היהדות והמעיינות שלנו, שנמסרה לנו ע"י רבותינו נשיאנו, תהי' כפי הרצוי וכפי הרצון, ה"ז דוקא ע"י ההכנה דמס"נ ש"אַזוי און נישט אַנדערש"! וכמו המס"נ של אאע"ה שלא הי' באופן ש"חיפש" מס"נ אלא ידע שעליו לפרסם אלקות בעולם באופן של אַזוי און נישט אַנדערש" ובמילא לא משנה אם בדרך יש נסיון של אור כשדים וכיו"ב.משיחת י"ב תמוז ה'תש"כ ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=07-11-2025 Synopsis My father-in-law the Rebbe related that on Yud Beis Tammuz 5655 (1895), his father took him to the Ohel in Lubavitch. When they arrived, his father opened the aron kodesh and read the first half of the Iggeres HaKodesh beginning, “She girds her loins with might.” Afterwards, the Rebbe (Rashab) Nishmaso Eden told my father-in-law that in the presence of his holy forebears, he was entering into a covenant with him and entrusting him with the leadership of communal matters both physical and spiritual; he explained that was hereby bringing him to an “Akeidah,” and that in an Akeidah, there must be both one who binds and one who is bound, in order for the sacrifice to be as it should be. The work must begin with the “loins” (kabbolas ol), which must be “girded” with “might” (mesiras-nefesh). And what is mesiras-nefesh? The conviction that it must be this way and no other; this was the Akeidah. (He then finished reading the Iggeres HaKodesh.) The fact that my father-in-law the Rebbe told us the details of this event that marked the preparation for his entry into work on behalf of the public is to teach us that for us to properly carry out the mission entrusted to us by the Rebbeim – our work of spreading Yiddishkeit and spreading the wellsprings of Chassidus – it must be done specifically through the preparation of mesiras-nefesh and the conviction that it must be this way and no other. It must be like the mesiras-nefesh of Avraham Avinu: Avraham didn't seek out mesiras-nefesh; rather, he was focused on his mission of publicizing G-dliness in the world. And since he had the conviction that it must be done this way and no other, therefore, he was undeterred even when he encountered trials like the furnace in Ur Kasdim etc.Excerpt from sichah of 12 Tammuz 5720. For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=07-11-2025

The Rebbe advises resolving the housing issue peacefully, consulting medical experts for his daughter's development, and using his role as a teacher to inspire others in Torah and ethics.

התוכן במזמור ע"ח שבתהילים מצינו דבר פלא לכאו': התחלת המזמור (שמורה על תכליתו) הוא "האזינה עמי תורתי", וכמ"ש בהמשך המזמור גודל ההכרח בלימוד התורה ובקיום המצוות "ויקם עדות ביעקב ותורה שם בישראל" וכו', אבל בהמשך המזמור מקשר כ"ז בסיפור באריכות ובפרטיות אודות "נפלאותיו אשר עשה" בארץ מצרים, והמכות וכו'! עד שכו"כ ענינים שאומרים בהגדה בליל הסדר לומדים מפסוקים אלו שבמזמור זה. ובזה מודגש אפי' בתושב"כ גודל הענין דסיפור נפלאות יצ"מ, ע"י אמירת מזמור תהלים זה, עד שזהו "יסוד ועמוד חזק בתורתנו ובאמונתנו", שבזה קשור כל ענין שבתורה – "ויקם עדות ביעקב וגו'", ועד שבזה תלוי' הגאולה האמיתית והשלימה! כמ"ש בהמשך המזמור. ומזה עידוד לקיום הוראת כ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר בנוגע לאמירת תהילים בכלל, וגודל הענין דאמירת תהלים ע"י היהודים הפשוטים, ה"תהילים אידן", או ע"י כו"כ מנשי ישראל המצטיינות באמירת תהילים (ודוד המלך ביקש ופעל שאמירת תהילים תפעל אותו דבר מה שנפעל ע"י לימוד נגעים ואהלות).ב' חלקים משיחת אור לי"ג ניסן ה'תשל"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=06-11-2025 Synopsis We find a seemingly wondrous thing in chapter 78 of Tehillim: The beginning of the chapter (which indicates its underlying theme and purpose) states, “Listen, my people, to my Torah,” and in that vein it goes on to discuss the importance of studying Torah and keeping mitzvos, “He established a testimony in Yaakov and He set down a Torah in Yisroel” etc. But then it ties this to a detailed account of “His wonders which He performed” in the land of Egypt, such that many passages in the Haggadah are derived from the verses in this chapter of Tehillim. Thus, even in the Written Torah we find an emphasis on the importance of telling the story of the wonders of the Exodus from Egypt, which is “a foundation and strong pillar in our Torah and of our faith,” which even the Redemption depends on, as it says later in the chapter. This also encourages us to fulfill the directive of my father-in-law, the Rebbe, about saying of Tehillim in general, and the significance of the Tehillim recited by the “Tehillim Yidden” and by Jewish women etc. (and Dovid HaMelech requested and brought about that saying Tehillim should have the same effect as studying even the deepest parts of Torah).2 excerpts from sichah of 13 Nissan 5739 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=06-11-2025

The Rebbe thanks the writer for good news and responds promptly, emphasizing that Tishrei is the “general month” influencing the entire year. Every good deed now brings lasting blessings. He encourages dedication to Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim of New Haven as their unique mission, carried out with joy and health. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/001/5800

The Rebbe advises that one should strive to daven with purity and, given the great holiness of tefillin, certainly put on Rabbeinu Tam's. Regarding whether a non-wearer may write them, opinions differ, but ideally they should be written by one who does. The Rebbe adds a blessing for success. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/001/5794

The Rebbe warmly blesses Rabbi Moshe Yitzchak for starting a weekly Gemara class, encouraging success in both depth and attendance. He advises beginning with tractate Megillah—short, practical, and inspiring—and explains its inner link to revealing holiness in the world through Torah study. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/001/5795

The Rebbe acknowledges the letter and says he will mention the writer and family at the Rebbe Rayatz's Ohel. He blesses them with peace of mind, prosperity, and growth in Torah and mitzvos. In response to a query about R. Yeshaya Doktor, he cites sources in Beis Rebbe and Shu”t Tzemach Tzedek. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/001/5796

The Rebbe replies regarding the writer's Yom Kippur experience, referencing the Tzemach Tzedek's responsum. He advises increasing Torah study, meticulous mitzvah observance, and regular learning of Chassidus—the “Tree of Life” that nourishes soul and body—and giving daily charity before prayer. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/001/5797

The Rebbe responds to one who maintained Yiddishkeit for 50 years in a small town, urging that real observance means daily living by Torah, not only temple visits or donations. He encourages genuine commitment for oneself and one's children, adding that it's never too late to begin anew. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/001/5798

The Rebbe asks for reliable details about the wedding connected with the Sichah “S'mach Tis'mach” (5657), including customs, events, and words spoken at the time. He requests sources, names of those who recalled or witnessed them, and stresses the public benefit of this information. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/001/5801

The Rebbe replies regarding funds for publishing Ilan HaBaal Shem Tov, explaining that local funds are limited even for printing Chabad Chassidus. Nevertheless, since the request came from the writer, a symbolic donation is enclosed. The Rebbe also requests copies of the author's books for his library. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/001/5799
