Yud-Daled Shevat (24:43)

Your Ner Yisroel Rebbeim answering timely questions. Originally prepared for the 90th Anniversary Dinner (2023) and updated for the 92nd Anniversary Dinner (2025)

התוכן [המשך] ועד"ז מצינו הדגשה מיוחדת במעשה בפועל אצל אדה"ז בתפילה: כידוע גדול ההפלאה בעבודת התפילה של אדה"ז וכו'. ב"ואהבת לרעך כמוך" ברוחניות: בהוראת הרב המגיד כתב את השו"ע (אע"פ שחשש מהאחריות וכו') שממנו הוראה יוצאה לכאו"א מישראל בחיי היום יום (ואף שמצינו גם שו"ת בהלכה משאר רבותינו נשיאינו, אבל זה לא נתפשט בכל תפוצות ישראל כ"שו"ע הרב"). בפנימיות התורה: כתיבת ספר התניא, "ספר של בינונים", ש"מדת הבינוני היא מדת כל אדם ואחרי' כל אדם ימשוך". ומכ"ז רואים איך שאדה"ז הוריד את כללות שיטתו ופרטי' במעשה בחייו האישיים. וההוראה: אע"פ ש"מי ידמה לו ומי ישוה לו" לאדה"ז, אבל מכיון שהוא "רועה נאמן", ושיטתו שייכת לכל ישראל – ה"ז מוכיח שכל אחד יכול ללמוד מזה וכו'. משיחת י"ט כסלו ה'תשכ"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=13-01-2026 Synopsis (Continued.) Similarly, we find a special emphasis on actual practice in the Alter Rebbe's conduct in tefillah, as known regarding the Alter Rebbe's extraordinary avodas hatefillah etc. And with regards to Ahavas Yisroel in the spiritual sense, as seen in the fact that, at the Magid's request, and despite his concern about taking such a responsibility, the Alter Rebbe authored the Shulchan Aruch, which provides halachic rulings for every Jew's daily life. (Although the other Rebbeim also authored halachic responsa, they did not become as widespread among all Jewish communities as the Shulchan Aruch HaRav.) And with regards to the inner dimension of Torah, the Alter Rebbe authored the Sefer HaTanya, the “Sefer for Beinonim,” which “is the level of every person, and every person should strive for it.” From all of this we see how the Alter Rebbe embodied his approach, generally and specifically, practically in his personal life. And while “who can be likened to him and who is equal to” the Alter Rebbe, nevertheless, since he is a “faithful shepherd,” and his approach is relevant to every Jew – that proves that everyone can learn from it.Excerpt from sichah of 19 Kislev 5729 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=13-01-2026 לזכות שטערנא שרה בת נחמה דינה תחי' ליום ההולדת שלה כ"ד-כ"ה טבת - לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות

התוכן אדה"ז ייסד את שיטת חב"ד שמראה איך אפשר לפעול שכל כחות הנפש, וגם הגוף, יהיו חדורים בעבודת ה' (באופן של "פדה בשלום נפשי"), ולכן אצלו רואים זאת בגלוי ובהדגשה במעשה בפועל. ולכן דוקא אצלו רואים כמה דברים שבאו במעשה בפועל מה שלא רואים אצל שאר רבותינו נשיאנו. ולדוגמא – בתורה: הוא בעצמו הי' הבעל-קורא בפועל! הוא הי' מודד בעצמו את שיעורים ומדות השונים של התורה! בגמילות חסדים: את כל הנדוניא שלו שקיבל לאחרי החתונה ניצל כדי לעזור ליהודים לבסס א"ע במלאכה המפרנסת את בעלי' וכו' – "ואהבת לרעך כמוך" למע' ממדידה והגבלה במעשה בפועל! [המשך יבוא]משיחת י"ט כסלו ה'תשכ"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=12-01-2026 Synopsis The Alter Rebbe founded the Chabad approach, which demonstrates how all the soul faculties, as well as the body, can be imbued with the service of Hashem (in the manner expressed by the verse, “He redeemed my soul in peace”). Therefore we find that this trait was embodied openly in the way the Alter Rebbe lived his life in practice, in a number of ways that were not seen openly in the conduct of the other Rebbeim. For example, in Torah, the Alter Rebbe actually served as the baal korei, and he actually took measurements to determine the precise amounts of the Torah measurements. In gemilus chassadim, he actually took his entire wedding dowry and used it to help Jews establish themselves financially etc., fulfilling the mitzvah to “Love your fellow like yourself” in a matter that surpassed all measure and limitation.

Shiur given by Rabbi Chaim Schmerhold on Rebbeim 5785. Shiur recorded in Yeshivas Ohr Reuven, Monsey, NY.

התוכן הנהגת רבותינו נשיאינו היתה להדליק נרות חנוכה על פתח א' החדרים של הבית ולא ליד החלון הפתוח לרשות הרבים, וצ"ב עפ"י נגלה, כי מגמ' משמע שכשאין אפשרות להדליק את הנרות חנוכה "על פתח ביתו מבחוץ" יש להדליקן ליד חלון הבית הפונה לרה"ר? והרי הם נהגו כך גם בזמן שלא הי' סכנה וגם במציאות שבודאי יעברו ברה"ר עשרה מישראל ויהי' "פרסומא ניסא" וכו' (ואין לתרץ כי כך ראו אצל רבם וה"ז בבחי' "הואיל ונפק מפומא דרב כהנא", כי זה רק מעבירה את השאלה על רבם), והביאור י"ל: א) החיוב להדליק הנרות ליד החלון הוא רק אם החלון הוא למטה מעשרים אמה, כמפורש בגמ'. ב) לרוב ה"חנוכיות" בזמננו יש דופן מאחורי הנרות, ואם יעמיד את החנוכי' באופן שהנרות ייראו מבחוץ הנה אז: 1. ההדלקה עצמה תהי' קשה לו 2. יחסר הענין של "פרסומי ניסא" לבני-הבית עצמם כי הדופן יסתיר להם את הנרות, (וכיון ש"הדלקה עושה מצוה" לא כדאי להדליק קודם את הנרות כשהם לבפנים ואח"ז לסובב את הנרות לבחוץ וכו'). וכ"ז הוא לשקו"ט בלבד, אבל בנוגע לפועל ‏–‏ מכיון שזה הי' ה"מעשה רב" של רבותינו נשיאינו הרי כך צ"ל הנהגת כאו"א מאתנו.משיחת נר ה' דחנוכה ה'תש"ל ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-12-2025 Synopsis Explanation is required according to Nigleh as to why the Rebbeim would light Chanukah specifically in a doorway between two rooms inside the house, whereas it is understood from the Gemara that one should light Chanukah candles “at the entrance to one's house on the outside,” and if one cannot, he should light at a window facing the public domain. And the Rebbeim did this even in times when there was no danger from people outside seeing the candles, and even where it was certain that ten Jews would be passing by in the public domain (thus fulfilling the requirement of pirsumei nisa) etc. (And we cannot simply answer that they did so because that is what they observed by their Rebbe – “since it came from the mouth of Rav Kahana…” – because then the question just becomes why their Rebbe did so.) This can be explained as follows: (1) The obligation to light the candles by the window applies only if the window is lower than twenty amos, as the Gemara says. (2) Most Chanukah menorahs these days have a back panel behind the candles. Therefore, if the menorah is placed facing the public domain, then (a) one would have to reach over the panel to light, which is difficult, and (b) the candles won't be seen by the people inside the house because they will be blocked by the back panel. (Turning the menorah around after lighting it is not an option because “the lighting is the mitzvah,” so the candles shouldn't be moved after lighting.) All of this is in the realm of discussion and debate, but practically speaking, since in practice the Rebbeim lit at the doorway inside the house, this is what every one of us should do.Excerpt from sichah of the 5th night of Chanukah, 5730 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-12-2025

The Rebbe expresses distress over excessive drinking, stressing the longstanding demand of the Rebbeim to avoid alcohol except limited amounts for joy—and never to the point of intoxication. Especially in spreading Chassidus today, strict self-restraint is essential, with action taken immediately. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/002/5861

The Rebbe explains that on one's birthday, a person's mazal is strongest, as noted in the Yerushalmi. Each year's date renews its original spiritual energy, similar to nature's cycles, and the Rebbeim observed birthdays privately, showing their deep inner power. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/002/5822

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.

MyLife Chassidus Applied: Where YOUR questions are answeredDonate now: https://mylife500.comFor recording visit the archive page or your favorite podcast carrier.Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Vayeira • What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? 05:25 • Can you explain the story of the Rebbe Rashab crying as a child why Hashem doesn't appear to him as He did to Abraham, and the Tzemach Tzedek's response? 11:20 • Why is a bris such an important mitzvah that it was commanded to Abraham before the Torah was formally given? 13:48 • Why then are women not obligated to perform this mitzvah? 18:20 • What did the Tzemach Tzedek say that “Rashab” is the same letters as “basar” (reish, shin, beis)? • Why did Abraham turn away from G-d to greet the guests? 20:18 • How is that different than Melchizedek blessing Abraham before G-d? 22:48 • Why doesn't G-d bless us to be wealthy like Abraham? 26:07 • Why did Sarah laugh when she heard that she would give birth, and was it appropriate? 32:23 • What is the significance of Sarah instructing Abraham to send Yishmael and Hagar away? 35:02 • How can we justify the Akeidah; why would a compassionate G-d command Abraham to murder his son? 39:30 • Why was Abraham called Ivri? 45:17New York City Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani 48:00 • Why is G-d not protecting the city that became the home of the Rebbeim from electing a racist mayor? 50:52 • Should we be afraid and run away if he wins the election? 55:01 • Should we grieve? 56:03 • Is this a sign that we should move to Israel? 57:08 • How is it possible that such a candidate is leading the race? 57:08 • What can we do about the situation? 57:08 • Is there anything we can apply today from Stalin's downfall related to the Rebbe's maamar and story about exclaiming three times hu-ra on Purim 5713? 58:10How should we react to the recent, tragic, untimely death of a young man in Israel? 01:01:01

התוכן הרמב"ם פוסק "צוה משה רבינו מפי הגבורה לכוף את כל באי העולם לקבל מצות שנצטוו בני נח". ומזה מובן, דבזה שבנ"י נצטוו לפעול על אוה"ע שיקיימו ז' מצוות דב"נ, תלוי השלימות דבנ"י. [ובזה רואים שחידוש הבעש"ט בענין דהשגחה פרטית, שזו אינה רק על בנ"י, אלא על כל דבר, אינה "תורה חדשה" ח"ו אלא רמב"ם מפורש! – הענין דהשג"פ על אוה"ע]. ועד"ז רואים השינוי שנעשה לאחרונה בהענין ד"יפוצו מעיינותך חוצה", שזה מגיע גם לאוה"ע. וכמו שראו הנהגות רבותינו נשיאינו שלקחו מזמנם לפעול גם על אוה"ע שיטיבו דרכם. ובדורנו מובן גם עפ"י שכל עד כמה נחוצה ההשפעה על אוה"ע שיקיימו הז' מצות דב"נ, מפני שכך צוה משה מפי הגבורה, ובזה תלוי כל חיותם (שגוי שאינו מקיים א' מהז' מצוות ה"ה חייב מיתה)! ומי שנמצא בהשג"פ במשרה כזו שפוגש אוה"ע, הרי בודאי שיכול להשפיע עליהם. וזהו פרט בקיום תומ"צ שלו כיהודי! ב' חלקים משיחת י"ט כסלו ה'תשל"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=23-10-2025 Synopsis The Rambam writes: “Moshe Rabbeinu was commanded by the Almighty to compel all the inhabitants of the world to accept the commandments given to Noach's descendants.” Thus it is understood that the completeness of the Jewish people themselves depends upon influencing the nations of the world to observe the Sheva Mitzvos Bnai Noach. (Here we see that the Baal Shem Tov's teaching that Hashgacha Pratis applies not only to Jews but to everything in the world, was not a new idea, chas v'shalom, but an explicit teaching of the Rambam.) We see that recently, the “spreading of the wellsprings outward” has begun to reach even non-Jews, and we also find that our Rebbeim took the time to influence even non-Jews to improve their ways. These days, we can also understand logically how necessary it is to influence the nations of the world to keep the Sheva Mitzvos, because this is what “Moshe was commanded by the Almighty,” and their very existence depends on it (for a gentile who transgresses even one of the Sheva Mitzvos is liable to receive the death penalty). When, by Hashgacha Pratis, someone finds himself in a position where he interacts with non-Jews, he surely has the ability to influence them – and this is part of his own fulfillment of Torah and mitzvos as a Jew.2 excerpts from sichah of 19 Kislev 5735 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=23-10-2025 לזכות יעקב מנחם בן שושנה שי' וחי' שרה בת שושנה שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלהם בדר"ח מרחשוןלשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות

The Rebbe highlights the miraculous protection of Kfar Chabad since its founding in 1948, crediting the merit of the Rebbeim. He urges residents to strengthen peace and unity as the true vessel for Hashem's blessings, ensuring forgiveness and revealed good. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/016/001/5783

התוכן ענינו המיוחד של יום ג' דסליחות הי' בגדר "סוד". ביום זה הי' אדה"ז אומר מאמר דא"ח, אבל רק בפני ממלאי מקומו כ"ק אדהאמ"צ והצ"צ. וכך נהגו שאר הרביים. והודיעו שלא יגלו זאת. וצ"ל היתכן שכ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר גילה ענין זה לכולם?! ויובן עפ"י מה שמצינו דוגמתו בכל עניני התורה, שדוקא בדורות האחרונים נתחדשו ענינים בתורה שלא היו בדורות הקודמים, דורות נעלים יותר! המשל שנותנים ע"ז הוא מ"ננס ע"ג ענק" שרואה רחוק יותר מה"ענק". אבל צריך להבין היתכן שנשמות נמוכות יותר יראו "רחוק יותר" בעניני התורה?! והביאור: דוקא בגלל שהיא נשמה נמוכה, הנה כדי שגם היא תוכל למלא תפקידה בעולם וכו', צריכה היא לידיעות ו"אמצעי לחימה" יותר! ועד"ז מצד גודל היוקר הענין של ג' דסליחות לא גילו זה ע"ע. ודוקא מצד התגברות החושך בדורות האחרונות גילו ענין זה כדי שיהי' במה להתגבר על החושך. ומכיון שכ"ק מו"ח גילה ענין זה, שזה קשור עם אמירת דא"ח וכו', מוכח שעל כאו"א לנצל ענין זה כדי למלא שליחותו בעולם ע"י פנימיות התורה וכו'.ב' חלקים משיחת יום ב', כ"ה אלול, ליל ג' דסליחות, ה'תשל"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-09-2025 Synopsis My father-in-law revealed that the third day of Selichos is a special day, on which the Alter Rebbe would deliver a maamar, but only in the presence of those who would become his successors, the Mitteler Rebbe and the Tzemach Tzedek. The subsequent Rebbeim did the same, and they instructed that it be kept a secret. How then could my father-in-law reveal it to everyone? This can be understood based on the answer to a similar question: we find that regarding Torah study in general, there are greater innovations in Torah in later generations, even though the souls of previous generations were greater. It is explained that this is like a dwarf situated upon on a giant's shoulders, where the dwarf, while smaller than the giant, sees farther than the giant. But the question remains – why did Hashem make it that the lower souls would be able to see further in Torah than the greater souls? The answer is that specifically because it is a lower soul, it needs greater knowledge and better “ammunition” to fulfill its mission of transforming and lighting up the world. Similarly, because the third day of Selichos is so previous, its quality was not revealed in earlier times, but it was revealed specifically in later generations to equip us so that we can overcome the intensified darkness of these times. And since my father-in-law the Rebbe revealed this to us, and it has to do with delivering a maamar etc. – it is clear that everyone must use this information and the special quality of the day to fulfill his mission in the world through the inner dimension of the Torah etc.2 excerpts from sichah of Monday, 25 Elul, 5735.

Parsha's V'eschanan.The Alter Rebbe in Tanya, Shaar HaYichud VehaEmunah, the Rebbeim of Chabad-Lubavitch have endeavored to explain G-d's oneness in a manner that we can grasp it conceptually, not merely as a principle of faith, but as a truth that we can understand and internalize within our thinking. In this way, it will impact not only our belief system, but the way we actually live.The Bal Shemtov,Modeh AniRenewal

התוכן אף שמטרת כל מצוה היא לקרב את העולם לאלקות אבל בעיקר ה"ז במצות "קרבנות" [שבפ' ויקרא] ‏–‏ ששם המצווה הוא מלשון "קירוב". ועפ"י הדין ש"כל הזבחים שנשחטו שלא לשמן כשרים . . חוץ מחטאת", נמצא דענין הקרבן (ותוכנו) הוא בעיקר בקרבן חטאת. ובקרבן חטאת מצינו תנאי שהאדם צ"ל "שב מידיעתו" שפירושו "לב נשבר", והרי כל הענינים הקשורים עם קרבנות (העצים והמזבח והבהמה עצמה וכהן המקריב וכו') צ"ל בשלימות ותמימים, ומובן במכ"ש שהאדם שעבורו מקריבים הקרבן-חטאת צ"ל "שלם", נמצא שהענין ד"שב מידיעתו" ‏–‏ לב נשבר ‏–‏ הוא שלימותו! ועפי"ז יובן פתגם רבותינו נשיאינו "סאיז נאָך ניטאָ קיין גאַנצערע זאַך ווי אַ צובראָכענע האַּרץ!", (וזוהי גם המעלה שבשברי לוחות).משיחת כ"ף מנחם-אב ה'תשכ"ה ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=03-04-2025 Synopsis Although the purpose of every mitzvah is to bring the world closer to G-dliness, this is especially true of the mitzvah of korbanos [described in parashas Vayikra], whose very name connotes closeness. Based on the halacha that “All slaughtered offerings that were slaughtered not for their own sake are valid… except for the sin-offering,” it turns out that the theme of closeness is most expressed in the sin-offering. Regarding the sin-offering we find the condition that the person must “return due to his own awareness” – meaning he must have a broken heart because of his sin. Being that all aspects of a korban (the wood, the Mizbeach, the animal itself, the Kohen offering it etc.) must be complete and without blemish, certainly the person for whom the sin-offering is offered must also be whole. Therefore, it follows that his broken heart is in fact what makes him whole. This explains the saying of our Rebbeim, “There is nothing as whole as a broken heart” (and this is also the special quality of the broken Luchos).Excerpt from sichah of 20 Menachem-Av 5725 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=03-04-2025

The Rebbe praises the Chassidic gathering to strengthen unity and connection to the Rebbeim. He highlights the value of public learning and farbrengens in sanctifying Hashem's name, drawing from Midrash and Chassidus. He sends blessings for success—material and spiritual—to all participants. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/004_igros_kodesh/adar/927

Colel Chabad, founded by the Alter Rebbe and upheld by the Rebbeim, needs urgent support. The Rebbe urges every Chassid to have a Tzedakah box Rav Meir Bal Hanes at home and to strengthen their commitment, bringing blessings in all areas. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/004_igros_kodesh/adar/921

The Rebbe expresses satisfaction with the outreach activities described. He emphasizes the importance of loving every Jew, as taught by the Rebbeim, and encourages continued success in these endeavors. The Rebbe notes that each mitzvah leads to another and blesses the participants with personal success. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/008/5337

The Rebbe acknowledges receipt of the checks and highlights the connection between Mamad and Yud-Tes Kislev. He emphasizes the Rebbeim's self-sacrifice for every Jew and the need to continue their charitable work. The Rebbe blesses the recipient's efforts and includes Yud-Tes Kislev booklets and a general letter. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/004_igros_kodesh/kislev/832

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:Yud Shevat – 75 Years  What is the significance of this milestone?  How does Basi L'Gani capture the central theme and mission of our seventh generation?  What lessons do we learn from chapter 15 of Basi L'Gani?  What is the chiddush that the most hidden treasures – l'maaleh maaleh ad ayn kaytz – are splurged on to the foot soldiers empowering them to be victorious over the enemies?  What did each Rebbe add to the understanding of tzimtzum?  Why did the maamar Basi L'Gani 5745 create a buzz by Chassidim?  What are the practical applications of knowing that there are tzimtzumim before the tzimtzum ha'rishon (as explained in Basi L'Gani 5745)?  What does chassidus mean when it refers to Hashem's essence as light – etzem ha'ohr?  Why is ohr so fundamental in uniting G-d with existence?  What's the point of knowing that G-d is so great that we can never really know him?  Can we say that spreading the teachings of Chassidus by the Rebbeim is an expression of “splurging the treasures” (bizbuz ha'otzros)?   How do we apply the statement that all sevenths are precious?  If the Alter Rebbe opposed France and the West, why did the Frierdiker Rebbe settle in the United States?  What's the best way to receive a response from the Rebbe today? What is the central theme of this Torah chapter?  What personal and global lessons does it offer us?  Can we apply the continuing story of exodus to the hostages today?   Is G-d hardening the hearts of Hamas?  Does the recent release of some hostages reflect the energy of redemption we read about in these weekly portions? How do we tap into this energy?  Once G-d promised Jacob that He Himself would redeem him and his children, why did He appoint Moshe to lead the Jews out of Egypt? 

The Rebbe emphasizes that for Chassidim, their unique mitzvah is spreading Chassidus, as the Rebbeim sacrificed for this mission. He encourages the recipient to strengthen his efforts, assuring it will also bring personal success. Invoking the merit of Yud Kislev, he blesses him to expand Torah and Chassidus. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/014/003/4923

The Rebbe expresses satisfaction with the yeshiva's progress and emphasizes the meticulous care of the Rebbeim in overseeing Tomchei Tmimim. He encourages utilizing Yud-Tes Kislev and Chanukah to expand and strengthen the institution in both quality and quantity, blessing the recipient with success and a Chag HaGeulah. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/014/003/4913

The Rebbe expresses deep disappointment over the lack of updates on spreading Chassidus and calls for immediate action. He contrasts the swift response to human commands with neglect of the Rebbeim's directives, urging focus on true Jewish outreach instead of baseless fears. He prays for impactful efforts that lead to real results. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/014/003/4989

The Rebbe expresses frustration over indulgence in bodily matters, lack of unity, and avoidance of responsibility, urging Chasidim to focus on their surroundings and actively spread Torah and Mitzvahs. He emphasizes the sacrifices of the holy Rebbeim and the urgency of acting as Mashiach is near, concluding with a blessing. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/014/004/5005

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:How should we react to the downfall of President Assad in Syria?  Is this a positive move forward?  Should we be celebrating or should we be concerned?  What are its greater, cosmic implications?  What does the Midrash predict about the fall of Syria?  What does this chapter teach us about today's world events?  What does Jacob and Esau's reconciliation tell us about the conflicts between the West and the East, and the future?  What are the implications of Esau marrying Ishmael's daughter?  Was Jacob the true first born?  Why did the birthright and blessings have to be channeled through Jacob though they belonged to Esau?   Why was Jacob silent when he heard that Dinah was violated?  Did he approve of Shimeon and Levi's vengeance on Shechem?  How do we abolish harsh decrees?  After the tragedy in UAE how do we deal with doubts in the promises given to us?  What was unique about the Mitteler Rebbe?  Why is the Mitteler Rebbe associated with Binah?  What differentiated between the geulah of the Alter Rebbe and the Mitteler Rebbe?  Why is he called the Mitteler Rebbe, even after we have seven Rebbes?  What is the background behind the sefer Pokeach Ivrim?  What is the story of the Mitteler Rebbe suggesting the use of joy to abolish a harsh decree?  How is that different than the saying of omein yehei shmei rabba?  Was there more emphasis on simcha in the times of the Mitteler Rebbe than in the other generations of the Rebbeim?  Should we name our newborn boy, whose bris is on Tes Kislev, Dovber or Hamnuna?  Why did the Rebbe say Kaddish on Yud Kislev?

4 characters of students in regards to absorption from their Rebbeim

A weekly shiur by Dayan Levi Yitzchok Raskin, Rov of Anash in London, explores interesting Torah questions and halachic dilemmas. The following issues are discussed by Dayan Raskin in this week's episode: 0. A man whose Bris was done by a Reform Jew, need he do anything now? [1] 1) The Rebbeim were emphatic that children should be taught to read by identifying the Alef, the Komatz, and that together we have the sound O. This is: a) Halocho LeMoshe MiSinai; b) instrumental for their Yiras Shomayim. Could you please provide sources?[2] 2) I didn't have my Tefilin in time for the Minyan for Shacharis; I expect to receive them shortly afterwards. Should I daven with the Minyan without Tefilin?[3] 3) When separating Challoh, should I wait until the dough has risen?[4] 4) I kneaded a Shiur of dough, but I wish to freeze half of it raw for next week. Should I say the brocho upon separating Challoh? [5] 5) On the 1st day of Succos – which was Shabbos, a Jewish man dropped in saying that he's travelling tonight/tomorrow, could he take the Lulav? Should I allow him to do so?[6] 6) I have a metal sink that has two bowls. May I designate one for meat and the other for dairy?[7] 7) Bread that is not Pas Yisroel: if I toast it, does it now become Pas Yisroel?[8] 8) I got stuck in traffic close to Shabbos. Could I get into a taxi who will take me home, continuing to drive even once it is already Shabbos? [9] 9) A group-discussion of some Jewish students with their Chabad rabbi came up with the following question: Reuven sees a grenade thrown by a terrorist, headed to fall on Shimon. Is Reuven permitted to intercept the missile, thus forfeiting his own life in order to save the life of someone else? [10] 10) We have a heating-cabinet. Its maximum temperature is 80°-185° Fahrenheit. May we place food inside before or during Shabbos?
