התוכן 1) מיום כ"ב בחודש ‏–‏ "בך יברך ישראל" ‏–‏ נמשך ברכה מיוחדת בכאו"א מישראל. 2) ביום היאָרצייט נעשה עלי' והסתלקות הנשמה מחדש, והעלי' היא שלא בערך לכל העליות שלפנ"ז. וזוהי השייכות לפ' יתרו שבו מדובר בענין מתן תורה שאז "פרחה נשמתן". וכמו שבמ"ת הנה מיד לאח"ז "החזירה להן הקב"ה בטל תחי'", עד"ז בענין זה יהי רצון שתיכף ומיד תהי' עלי' הכי גדולה ‏–‏ תחיית המתים וכו'. 3) ענין המיוחד של נשי ובנות ישראל שבדורנו, ובפרט אלו שזכו שכו"כ מבנות ישראל נק' על שמן. ["ובפרט אַזוינע וואָס האָבן זוכה געווען אַז כו"כ מבנות ישראל נקראות על שמן, און זיי באַווייזן אַ לעבעדיגע ביישפיל . . ווי אַזוי זיי ווערן נתחנך אין איר רוח און לויט אירע אָנווייזונגען און לויט איר ביישפיל, וואָס זי איז דאָך נתחנך געוואָרן ע"י נשיא דורנו, דעם רבי'ן דעם שווער"]. ועוד.שיחת אור לכ"ב שבט, ה'תשנ"ב ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=09-02-2026 Synopsis (1) From the 22nd day of the month (“With you (בך) Yisroel will bless”) there is a special blessing for every Jew. (2) On a yartzeit the soul once again experiences an ascent, and it is incomparably greater than all previous ascents. This is the connection to parashah Yisro, which discusses the Giving of the Torah, when “their souls took flight.” And just as at the Giving of the Torah Hashem immediately “restored it to them with the dew of resurrection,” so, too, may He immediately bring about the Resurrection of the Dead etc. (3) The Redemption will come particularly in the merit of “the righteous women of our generation,” especially one who has the merit that so many Jewish girls have been named after her, girls who are being educated in her spirit and living by her example etc.Sichah of 22 Shevat 5752 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=09-02-2026

The Importance of Building Eretz Israel - Bonei Yisroel Live Event

התוכן הוראות בקשר למ"ש [ברביעי פ' יתרו] "ויחן - לשון יחיד - שם ישראל נגד ההר": 1) הדבר היחיד שיכול לאחד את כל בנ"י שלא יהי' פירוד הלבבות וכו' אע"פ ש"אין דעותיהם שוות", הוא, כשכולם מתאחדים "נגד ההר" - מרגישים שעומדים ליד הר סיני ומקבלים את התורה. כי אחדות אמיתית באה רק מאחדות הפשוטה של "אנא נפשי כתבית יהבית" - הקב"ה הכניס א"ע בתומ"צ. 2) זה ששייך הענין ד"ויחן לשון יחיד" בנוגע לתורה, שיש בה (גם) ענינים שצ"ל בהבנה ובהשגה ו"אין דעותיהם שוות", ענינים שהם שנויים במחלוקת וכו', הוא, מפני שבשעת מ"ת היו בנ"י במעמד ומצב של מסנ"פ, הקדמת נעשה לנשמע - קיבלו את כל עניני התורה לא עפ"י ההבנה וההשגה שלהם, אלא כפי שהיא מצד נותן התורה, ולכן "על כל דבור ודבור - מ"אנכי" עד "וכל אשר לרעך" - פרחה נשמתן" של כאו"א בשווה! ועד"ז צ"ל אופן לימוד התורה במשך כל הדורות כו'.ב' חלקים מהתוועדות פורים ה'תשכ"ז ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=04-02-2026 Synopsis Regarding the verse (in revi'i of parashas Yisro), “Yisroel camped (vayichan, in the singular) there facing the mountain”: (1) The only thing that can unite the entire Jewish people to the point that there is no discord or division among them etc. (despite the fact that “Their minds are not alike”) is when they unite “facing the mountain” – when they have the sense that they are standing at Har Sinai and receiving the Torah. Because true unity comes only from the absolute unity of Hashem, Who placed Himself within Torah and mitzvos, “Ana nafshi kesavis yahavis” (I have written and given Myself”). (2) The reason “Vayichan in the singular” is possible in Torah (despite the fact “their minds are not alike” and therefore there are differences of opinion in Torah) is because at Matan Torah the Jewish people were in a state of mesiras nefesh, giving precedence to “We will do” before “We will listen,” meaning, they received the entire Torah not according to their understanding, but in the way the Torah exists from the perspective of the Giver of the Torah. This is why “With every utterance” – from “I am Hashem your G-d” down to “…all that belongs to your fellow” – “their souls took flight,” for every Jew equally. Similarly, Torah must be studied this way in every generation etc.2 excerpts from farbrengen of Purim 5727 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=04-02-2026 לזכות הרה"ת ר׳ משה הכהן וזוגתו נחמה דינה ומשפחתם שיחיו כהן להצלחה בכל הענינים בגשמיות וברוחניות

התוכן לקט שיחות בענין שיעורי חת"ת: 1) גם מי שיש לו שיעורים בנגלה ובחסידות וכו' – עליו לשמור על שיעורי חת"ת, ויש בהם ענינים מיוחדים וסגולות מיוחדות. 2) לימוד שיעורי חת"ת הוא סגולה לכמה ענינים; אם לא הספיקו ללמוד במשך היום – אפשר להשלים בלילה (בנוגע לחומש ותהלים יש שקו"ט אם מותר בלילה). 3) כ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר אמר שהתקנה דשיעורי חת"ת היתה קיימת מכבר אלא שהוא פרסם, צוה וביקש לקיימה; אמירת תהלים לפני התפלה הוא ענין בפ"ע, כאן מדובר על אמירת שיעור חדשי בתהלים אחרי התפלה. 4) שיעורי חת"ת מיועדים לכולם – חסידים, לא-חסידים, ואפילו מי שרק "בשם ישראל יכונה"! 5) הבטחה גמורה ששמירת התקנה דשיעורי חת"ת לא תפגע בפרנסה, ואדרבה! 6) התעוררות ע"ד שמירת התקנה שכ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר – נשיא בישראל שמסר את נפשו עבור כאו"א מכלל ישראל – פירסם והשתדל שיתקבל בכל תפוצות ישראל – שיעורי חת"ת; הוא תבע זאת, ביקש והציע, והבטיח – שאם רק ירצו, יוכלו לעשות זאת מתוך שמחה! 7) על שיעורי חת"ת שכ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר פרסם וצווה להפיץ – אמר, שזו תקנת הבעש"ט! ע"י שמירת תקנה זו "ממשיכים" את הבעש"ט ו'בעש"ט'סקע ענינים והנהגות! 8) גם מי שלא שמר על שיעורי חת"ת עד עתה – "אין דבר העומד בפני התשובה" ויכול להתחיל מכאן ולהבא, ולפעול כך גם על אחרים.1) משיחת כ' כסלו ה'תשי"ז. 2) ב' חלקים משיחת יו"ד שבט ה'תשכ"ט. 3) משיחת י"ג תמוז ה'תשכ"ט. 4) משיחת יו"ד שבט ה'תשל"ח. 5) משיחת יו"ד שבט ה'תשמ"א. 6) משיחת י"ב תמוז ה'תשד"מ. 7) משיחת י"ח תמוז ה'תשמ"ה. 8) אור לי"ז תשרי ה'תשמ"ט. ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=27-01-2026 Synopsis A compilation of sichos on the topic of Chitas: (1) Even one who has regular studies in Nigleh and Chassidus etc. must also study Chitas, which contains special qualities and segulos. (2) Studying Chitas is a segulah for a number of things. If one didn't finish during the day, he can make it up at night (though there is a discussion as to whether Chumash and Tehillim may be said at night). (3) My father-in-law, the Rebbe, said that the takanah of Chitas existed even before he introduced it, but it wasn't publicized. Saying Tehillim before davening is not the same as Chitas; here we are talking about reciting the Tehillim for the day of the month, and after davening. (4) Chitas is for everyone: Chassidim, non-Chassidim, and even one who is “called by the name Yisroel.” (5) There is an absolute promise that studying Chitas will not detract from one's livelihood; to the contrary, it will increase it. (6) My father-in-law – a Nasi of the Jewish people who gave up his life for every Jew – publicized the takanah of Chitas and strove to spread it to all Jewish communities; this is what he demanded and requested and recommended, and he promised that if only a person wants to, he will be able to keep the takanah with joy. (7) My father-in-law the Rebbe said that Chitas is a takanah from the Baal Shem Tov – and by keeping it, one draws down the Baal Shem Tov and Baal-Shemske things. (8) Even if one has not kept the takanah of Chitas until now, “Nothing stands in the way of teshuvah”: he can start now, and influence others to do the same.Excerpts from sichos of (1) 20 Kislev 5717; (2) 10 Shevat 5729; (3) 13 Tammuz 5729; (4) 10 Shevat 5738; (5) 10 Shevat 5741; (6) 12 Tammuz 5744; (7) 18 Tammuz 5745; (8) 17 Tishrei 5749.

In this special Inside ArtScroll roundtable, host Rabbi Shlomo Landau sits down with singing sensation Yaakov Shwekey, celebrated author Yisroel Besser, and master arranger Doni Gross to explore the heart and soul behind the newly released ArtScroll masterpiece Music of Shabbos.  The conversation flows with warmth and inspiration as the guests reflect on the deep connection between Shabbos and song – how its melodies uplift us, anchor us, and help us access a place of serenity and emunah that only Shabbos can reveal. Together, they share the story behind the book, offering insights into its creation and the messages it hopes to bring to Jewish homes. With Shwekey's passion, Besser's storytelling, and Doni Gross's musical brilliance, this episode highlights the beauty of Shabbos through the lens of music, memory, and meaning. It's an intimate, uplifting discussion that opens a window into the world of Shabbos niggunim – and the timeless inspiration they continue to bring.

Yaakov and Yisroel: both necessary to survive Egypt and today

התוכן "הבאים ישרש יעקב יציץ ופרח ישראל ומלאו פני תבל תנובה" [הפטורת פ' שמות]. ומדייק אדה"ז בתו"א מהי השייכות בין "הבאים [מצרימה]" להמשך הכתוב "ישרש יעקב וגו'". וממשיך שם "הנה כתיב כה אמר ה' בוראך יעקב ויוצרך ישראל", וצלה"ב מה שדוקא ביעקב נאמר בריאה, אף ששם ישראל הוא נעלה יותר ובו נאמר יצירה? ולהבין זה מקדים דכוונת ירידת הנשמה בגוף היא – לצורך עלי' שלא בערך ע"י עבודתה בעוה"ז התחתון. וזהו מה ש"מצוות" נמשלו ל"פירות", דכשם שצמיחת הפירי הוא ע"י השרשת הגרעין במקום הראוי לזריעה – בארץ דוקא, עד"ז צמיחת המצוות הוא דוקא כאשר הן נזרעות ומתקיימות בבני ישראל – "כי תהיו אתם ארץ חפץ", ודוקא בארץ הלזו התחתונה ע"י נשמה בגוף, בחי' יעקב – יו"ד עקב. וזוהי ההוראה והנתינת-כח מלימוד הפסוק "הבאים ישרש וגו'" בתורה: צריכים לדעת שתכלית ירידת נשמתו מאיגרא רמה לבירא עמיקתא – הבאים עכשיו למיצרים וגבולים דסדר השתלשלות ודגלות וכו' – היא "ישרש", "ער זאָל דורכנעמן דעם ארץ" עד שיתגלה שהיא "ארץ חפץ", ע"י שהוא בבחי' הביטול ד"יעקב", עד ש"יציץ ופרח ישראל וגו'". והלימוד מביא לידי מעשה – שלא מתפעלים מ"מצרים", ואדרבה – דוקא מהחושך כפול ומכופל שנמצאים בו – נעשה העלי' שלא בערך בקרוב ממש ע"י משיח צדקנו. ב' חלקים ממאמר ד"ה הבאים ישרש יעקב, כ"ד טבת ה'תשל"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=09-01-2026 Synopsis (The haftorah of parashas Shemos begins:) “Those who came, whom Yaakov caused to take root; Yisroel budded and blossomed, and the face of the earth was filled with produce.” In Torah Or, addressing the connection between “those who came [to Egypt – Rashi]” and “Yaakov taking root,” the Alter Rebbe quotes the verse “So says Hashem: Your Creator, Yaakov, and the One Who formed you, Yisroel,” and asks why the verse associates Yaakov with the world of Beriah (בוראך – “Your Creator”) and Yisroel with the world of Yetzirah (יוצרך – “the One Who formed You”), if the name Yisroel is higher? To answer this, the Alter Rebbe explains that the purpose of the soul's descent into the body is to achieve an incomparably greater ascent through its service in this lowest world. This is why mitzvos are likened to “fruit”: just as fruits grow when a seed takes root, and only in fertile ground, so too mitzvos can only “grow” when they are sown in and performed by the Jewish people (the “land of desire”) – only in this lowest physical world, where the soul is clothed in the body, the level of “Yaakov” – “yud-akev” (“heel”). This is the message and empowerment from the verse “Those who came etc.”: One must know that the ultimate purpose of the soul's descent “from a high rooftop to a deep pit” (“coming to Egypt,” meaning the confines and limitations of the world and exile, etc.) is to “take root” – to permeate the land until it is revealed that it is a “land of desire” – through the bittul of “Yaakov,” which cause “Yisroel to bud and blossom” etc. And study leads to action, such that one is not deterred by Egypt; on the contrary, it is specifically through the doubled and redoubled darkness of exile that we will come to the ultimate ascent very soon, with the coming Moshiach Tzidkeinu.2 excerpts from maamar Haba'im Yashresh Yaakov, 24 Teves 5739 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=09-01-2026 לזכות ר' נפתלי ב"ר שלמה ע"ה אבן חיים ליום היארצייט שלו כ' טבת. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת בנו ר' אברהם שי' אבן חיים

Why do we use both Yisroel and Yaakov?

What is unique about the month of Kislev, and what lessons does it offer us?  Yud Kislev What do we learn from this day? What distinguishes the liberations of the Mitteler Rebbe's on Yud Kislev and the Alter Rebbe on Yud Tes Kislev? How are these differences connected to chochmah and binah? Do we know why this day is not celebrated with the same level of festivities as the 19th of Kislev?  Can you summarize the Maamar Padah B'sholom Nafshi, delivered by the Rebbe on the 10th of Kislev 5722? What was the name of the Mitteler Rebbe's maamar discussing the reasons for the decree of drafting the Cantonists? And what lessons can we learn from it that we can apply to other tragedies and evil decrees against us? Why is this the day that connected the Rebbe to us? How do we practically apply the Rebbe and the Rebbe's anniversary to our personal lives? What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? What is the deeper meaning in the story of Jacob and Esau – their battle and reconciliation? What are the cosmic and historic implications of their confrontations, and how is it connected to Yud Tes Kislev?  Why were the “small vessels” so important that Jacob put himself at risk by returning to retrieve them?  Why did Esau's angel wrestle with Jacob and displace his hip?  Can we contrast that with Jacob protecting his head with stones earlier? What is the significance of the angel changing his name to Yisroel, and why does he retain the name Yaakov? Why is Isaac the only one of the patriarchs that did not have his name changed? Are the names of Yaakov and Yisroel connected to tiferes? What lesson do we learn from the detailed descriptions and names of Esau's progeny? Now that the hostages have been released, what can I do to apologize to G-d for my earlier complaints to Him?Yud Dalet Kislev Vayishlach Do people with mental health issues or addictions have free will?  Hostages Freed

התוכן כתיב "לא הביט און ביעקב ולא ראה עמל בישראל" [כמ"ש בחמישי דפ' בלק], ומבואר ע"ז בלקו"ת, שב"ישראל" אין אפי' "עמל", אבל ב"יעקב", אע"פ שאין "און" אבל יש "עמל". והביאור בעבודת האדם: בכדי למלאות את שליחותו בעוה"ז על האדם להלחם "עם אלקים ואנשים", עם העלמות והסתרים דעוה"ז – "אלקים", ועם אנשים המלעיגים ומנגדים לעבודתו. וזהו מדרגת "יעקב". ואף שגם מי שהוא במדרגא זו, דרגא הכי תחתונה, "יעקב" מלשון "עקב", ושייך רק לקב"ע, מבטיח לו הקב"ה ש"לא הביט און ביעקב", שבכוחו לנצח את המלחמה ולהיות נקי מ"און", אבל הדבר כרוך ב"עמל" ויגיעה לעמוד נגד ההעלמות והסתרים וכו'. אבל מדרגת "ישראל", שנק' כך ע"ש "כי שרית עם אלקים ואנשים ותוכל" [כמ"ש בשני דפ' וישלח], שכבר ניצח את ההעלמות והסתרים ושולט עליהם, עד שהם מסייעים לעבודתו, אינו צריך כבר ל"עמל" ויגיעה ללחום נגד היצה"ר ועם ההעלמות והסתרים, ועבודתו היא עליות בקדושה גופא, חיים של עונג וכו'.משיחת יו"ד שבט ה'תשח"י ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=01-12-2025 Synopsis On the verse, “He has not beheld evil in Yaakov, and has seen no perversity (lit “toil”) in Yisroel….” Likutei Torah explains that in “Yaakov,” there is no “evil” but there is “toil,” whereas in “Yisroel” there is not even toil. In terms of a person's divine service: to fulfill one's mission in this world, one must battle “with Elokim and with men,” meaning with the concealment and obscuration of this world (“Elokim”), and with people who mock and oppose him. This is the level of “Yaakov” (from the word akev, “heel”), which represents Divine service that lacks intellect and emotion and is based only on kabbolas ol. Hashem promises that “He has not beheld evil in Yaakov” – even a person on the level of “Yaakov” has the power to win the battle and remain free from evil, but it requires “toil” and effort to withstand the struggles etc. In contrast, the level of “Yisroel” (the name given because “you have striven with Elokim and with men and have prevailed,” as it says in sheini of parashas Vayishlach), refers to someone who has already triumphed over the forces that conceal and obscure, to the point that he now rules over them and they in fact assist him in his service. Such a person no longer requires toil to battle the yetzer hara or the concealment; his service is to ascend from level to level within holiness itself, a life of delight etc.Excerpt from sichah of 10 Shevat 5718 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=01-12-2025

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 27 minutesSynopsis: This morning (11/14/25), in our Friday morning Machshavah Lab series for women, we continued learning through the prologue of Iyov (1:1 - 3:1). We began with a question of Iyov Methodology: Which commentaries would I recommend? This led to another important tangent (the second in three sessions!) about the ikkarim (fundamentals of Judaism). I'm particularly interested in what people think about what was said. We then read through Iyov 1:6-12 at a more leisurely pace than our quick overview last time, and we concluded by reading the Malbim's and Rambam's prefaces, explaining why I will NOT be decoding the allegory of the satan until a few months from now. The plan for next time is to go over the peshat of the remainder of the prologue, which we'll analyze in the session after that.-----מקורות:איוב א:א-יברמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות עבודה זרה וחוקות הגוים ב:א-גרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות יסודי התורה ב:ו-זמלבי"ם - איוב א:ארש"י - איוב א:ארמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים ג:כב-----This week's Torah content is sponsored by Joey and Estee Lichter in commemoration of the yahrzeits of Joey's mother, Faiga bas Yehuda, and Estee's father, Yisroel ben R' Moshe.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 29 minutesSynopsis: This evening (11/13/25), in our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we continued with the clause we worked on last time. We spent the first part of shiur reviewing everything we covered last time, answering the questions we left off with and sharpening some of the insights we had. Then we moved on to the Meiri, who gave us several different interpretations of the first two clauses of the mishnah. We read and discussed all of them but one, and were intrigued by how different of an approach he took. There remains at least one more idea in the Meiri. We'll see where we go after that.-----מקורות:אבות ד:טזרש"ירמב"םרבינו יונהרמב"ם - משנה תורה: הקדמהרש"י - קהלת יב:י-יבמאירי-----This week's Torah content is sponsored by Joey and Estee Lichter in commemoration of the yahrzeits of Joey's mother, Faiga bas Yehuda, and Estee's father, Yisroel ben R' Moshe.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.

I call "straight-up advice." No mashalim, no cryptic wording, no riddles - just proverbs telling you what to do and why. My question going into this was whether there would be any correlation between the style of presentation and the quality or depth of the ideas. Judging by this morning's analysis, the answer seems to be in the negative. We had just as many questions here as we usually do, and the ideas we developed felt completely Mishleic.

Send us a textThe Power and Process of Forgiveness: In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah & Eda, we explore forgiveness, emphasizing the importance of letting go of past resentments to lead a fulfilling life. The discussion covers various methods of achieving forgiveness, including writing unsent letters and understanding that forgiveness is a deeply personal process not necessarily linked to others' actions. The episode touches on poignant topics like self-forgiveness, collective trauma, and the transformative effect of forgiveness, offering listeners insightful perspectives as we approach the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah.EPISODE SPONSORSKEREN HASHANAEven if we resolve to give charity every day, it's easy to miss a day, to forget, or to get distracted.Imagine the opportunity to partner daily with the Lubavitcher Rebbe in giving charity. 72 years ago, the Rebbe, launched an initiative to ensure that every person has the merit of daily tzedaka-giving. The Rebbe established a special fund that would guarantee not a day goes by without contributing to charity, it is called Keren Hashana.There are many great organizations to give charity to daily…the Rebbe stated that those who wish to rely on him for their daily giving can donate to this fund. The first daily giving fund. The Idea: You donate in amounts which reflect the number of days in the coming year–this year 354–and Keren Hashana disburses the charity on your behalf -- twice every day! Once before Shachris and once before Mincha. This guarantees that you will give Tzedaka every day of the Year. It's not important how much you give, the idea is to give Tzedaka every day.In the past year alone, millions of dollars were distributed towards these social services. How is the money distributed? Where does the money go? The funds are donated through Machne Israel Chabad HQ in support of those less fortunate, single-parent households, educational subsidies for Torah education, emergency assistance, Hachnosas Kallah to holiday grants, and a host of other initiatives made possible through Chabad's global network. This past year, a significant amount of money was directed in support of our brothers and sisters in the holy land of Israel.Join with thousands from around the world and become a Keren Hashana partner.
