התוכן הצעה להביא לידי פועל את הרעיון שכ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר העלה בתחלת בואו לאמריקא (שמח"ת תש"א) – לייסד "איגוד תלמידי הישיבות": ההתחלה – "פון זיך", בתלמידי מוסדות הקשורים ושייכים אל הרבי ואל ליובאוויטש (הן ישיבות והן מוסדות לבנות), ותקותי שבמשך הזמן יכנסו באיגוד גם תלמידי כל שאר הישיבות; כל התלמידים זכאים להרשם (לאחרי שיקבלו ע"ע – לא בדרך כפי' – את הזכויות ואת ההתחייבויות). אלא שישנם "חברים פועלים" על אחרים (מגיל מצוות ומעלה) ו"חברים מקבלים" (שנה לפנ"ז); הפעילות צ"ל מאורגנת ע"י הנהלת המוסד, כדי שזה לא יגרם לחלישות בסדרי הלימוד, ופעילות של התלמידים תהי' בזמנם הפנוי; כדי להדגיש חשיבות הדבר צ"ל תשלום מס חבר, בשיעור "פרוטה" – פרטי הדברים יקבעו ע"י מנהלי המוסדות; הרמז בשם "את"ה" – תואר המורה על עצמותו ומהותו ית' שרק הוא נמצא בכל מקום, "נוכח". וע"י ההתאחדות האמיתית עם הקב"ה ע"י תומ"צ, נעשים גם בנ"י במצב ששייך עליהם התואר "אתה" האמיתי וכו'.ב' חלקים משיחת יו"ד שבט ה'תשי"ב ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=07-09-2025 Synopsis It is my suggestion to implement the idea raised by father-in-law, the Rebbe, upon arriving in America (Simchas Torah 5701) to establish an Iggud Talmidei Hayeshivos (“איגוד תלמידי הישיבות” – Association of Yeshiva Students). It should start from within – with students of institutions affiliated with the Rebbe and with Lubavitch (yeshivos as well as girls' schools), and it is my hope that with time students from all other yeshivos will join as well. Any student is eligible to register, provided that (without being forced) they willingly accept the privileges and responsibilities that come along with it. But there will be active members who influence others (from the age of bar and bas mitzvah and up), and passive members (starting one year before that). To ensure that the organization's activities do not interfere with the students' studies, the organization's activities should be organized by the schools' administration, and the activities should take place during the students' free time. And there should be a token membership fee, to be determined by the administrators, so that members will value their membership. The Iggud's acronym את"ה (“You”) alludes to Hashem's Essence and Core – the only being that is present everywhere. And by uniting with Hashem through Torah and mitzvos, the Jewish people, too, come to a state where the title “You” applies to them as well etc.2 excerpts from sichah of 10 Shevat 5712.

The Secret to Crushing AntisemitismChana Weisberg from Chabad.org in conversation with Rabbi YY Jacobson about Anti-Semitism in the world today. This interview was on Thursday 22 Shevat, 5785, February 20, 2025
Parshat Mishpatim - Judgement Torah: Exodus 21:1 - 24:18 Haftarah: Jeremiah 34:8-22; 33:25-26
Parshat Yitro - Abundance Torah: Exodus 18:1-20:23 Haftarah: Isaiah 6:1-13
Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:Yud Shevat – 75 Years: Chassidus Applied to Basi L'Gani What is the main takeaway from this foundational discourse? What do we learn about the tzimtzum in this year's chapter 15 and the Rebbe's maamorim of 5725 and 5745? What are its practical applications? Does tzimtzum separate or connect us with the Divine? What do we learn from the Magid's Torah on tzimtzum, as elaborated upon in Hemshech Ayin Beis? How is the tzimtzum not really a concealment, but rather a deep revelation? Why is G-d's ability to conceal greater than His ability to reveal? How much is G-d in touch with our reality of tzimtzum? Why can't G-d allow us to understand His essence? Will the tzimtzum still exist in Moshiach's times? Why does it say “my sister, my bride”? What is an example of shtus d'kedusha that everyone can do in their daily lives? Can we ask G-d to splurge His treasures upon us? How should I interpret a dream I had of the Rebbe? 15 Shevat What lessons do we learn from the New Year of Trees? Is there a connection to Yud Shevat? How do you explain the Rebbe's footnote in his Yud Shevat telegram? What was the theme of the Rebbe's 15th of Shevat maamar 40 years ago? Yisro What is the central theme of this Torah chapter? What was the theme of the Rebbe's Yisro maamar 40 years ago? What personal and global lessons does it offer us? Why was Yisro's acknowledgment – that of an idolatrous priest – so important before receiving the Torah? Why did Moshe marry the daughter of Yisro? Why was the parting of the sea necessary before receiving the Torah? Why are the Jews called a “nation of priests”? What makes the 10 commandments unique? How should we react to President Trump's Gaza suggestion? Would the Rebbe agree with this approach? Is Gaza part of the Biblical Land of Israel? What should be our attitude to the Super Bowl? How should I react to my husband who insists on watching the game at home? How should I react to my wife who insists on disturbing me from watching the game? Should I just tell her that I'll go watch it in a bar?
Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Are we living in Messianic times? How do we open our eyes and see redemption coming? What lessons do we learn from this day, especially for our times? What does the Rebbetzin represent in our lives? How do we know what stories to believe about the Rebbetzin? If the Rebbetzin wanted her privacy, why are we speaking about her so publicly? Is there significance to the number 22 in connection with the Rebbetzin? Why is the Rebbetzin named Chaya Mushka? What does this name signify? Did the Rebbetzin once save someone by pushing him out of danger and then felt that she needed to do teshuva for pushing a Jew? How did the Rebbe connect this parsha with 22 Shevat? What is the central theme of this Torah chapter? What personal and global lessons does it offer us for our times? Do we need acknowledgments of world leaders for Moshiach to come? If mitzvos after Mattan Torah transform the physical objects why are we allowed to throw out tzitzis and other materials? Is Israel behaving wisely by not taking President Trump's aggressive approach with Hamas? How can we agree to give Gaza to the USA? Is it moral to expel the Palestinians from Gaza?

The month of Shevat is associated with a tribe of Asher and corresponds to the letter Tzadik (צ) and its zodiac sign is a bucket. So much is told to us by the Kabbalists. But what is the secret of this month? What is the energy that permeates this month? What are the particular ways to tap into the vast power of this month? Why is that associated with fruits? We welcome back the great Rabbi Shmuel Botnick to the podcast to share a new, profound perspective on the secrets of this month.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.
