A new generation is born and continues to follow the same cycle: birth, life, death. The question is: For what? What is the purpose of this? A frum Jew will say: the purpose of life is to learn Torah and do Mitzvos. But it also raises the same question: Torah and mitzvos - for what purpose? Or in more simple words: What’s the reason that Hashem created the world? What is the purpose of creation? ימות המשיח תכלית הבריאה בראשית ברא אלקים את השמים ואת הארץ . ורוח אלוקים מרחפת על פני המים ( בראשית א א, ).ב- ).ב- א, זה רוחו של מלך המשיח ( בעל הטורים על הפסוק ) ) ובאור המדרש הזה כי השם יתברך בפרשה זו מגיד מראשית אחרית , והכתוב כוון לרמוז סוף הזמן ל, הורות כי תכלית כוונת הבריאה הוא לימות המשיח .

"ש( פ דברים תש מ" , לקוטי שיחות חכ" א עמ ' )18 )18 Hashem created the world with spiritual darkness and evil. The reason for that is, as the Midrash says: "Hashem desired a dwelling place in the lowest realms." – as the term is in Chassidus “Dirah Betachtonim”. Hashem wants his essence to be revealed completely, particularly in this world of falsehood. Specifically in this world, Hashem wants the light of truth to be revealed without barriers or inhibition. In other words, G-dliness should break through the darkness, and from the darkness itself - Golus - should come the light - Geulah. This is done through the Torah and Mitzvos of the Yidden throughout the years of Golus. With every Mitzvah we fulfill and every word of Torah we study we conquer the evil and transform the darkness into light. In fact, we can bring light into this world even by just acting like a Yid on the street or at work. This job is also called “Avodas Habirurim” - the task of elevating the 288 sparks of holiness (which in the course of the years spilt into many more tiny sparks) that are scattered through the physical world. Our task in Golus is to elevate each spark and bring it back to its source, by using it to serve Hashem. For this purpose Yidden have been wandering throughout the world, by Divine Providence, even to elevate just one small spark lost in a far place. Once the world will be refined, and we have elevated all 288 sparks, it will be a “Dirah Betachtonim”, the perfect dwelling place Hashem desired so many years ago when he created the world. That time will be the 'Days of Moshiach', when G-dliness will be revealed even in THE 12 STEPS 8 this world.

  • Chapter 2: Who Is the Lubavitcher Rebbe?
    Can the Rebbe be Moshiach? Copyright © 2002 Gil Student – www.MoshiachTalk.com Chapter 2: Who is the Lubavitcher Rebbe? The first Lubavitcher Rebbe was R' Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1746-1812). He was a student of R' Dov Baer (The Maggid of) Mezeritch, who was in turn a student of the Baal Shem Tov. R' Shneur Zalman, the Alter Rebbe, led a group of Chasidim who called their movement Chabad. It was also called Lubavitch, after a town in Lithuania that was at one time the center of the movement. He had an illustrious lineage going back to Rashi and through him to King David. After the Alter Rebbe's death, his son R' Dovber (1773- 1827), the Mittler Rebbe, led the movement. Third in the line of Lubavitcher Rebbes was R' Dovber's nephew, R' Menachem Mendel (1789-1866). He is commonly known as the Tzemach Tzedek after the title of his highly regarded tshuvos (responsa). He led the movement through a very difficult time. The Czar in Russia was making life very difficult for Jews and R' Menachem Mendel tried to intervene with the government on behalf of his followers. After R' Menachem Mendel's death, his son R' Shmuel (1834-1882), the Rebbe Maharash, led Lubavitch. In turn, 20 Can the Rebbe be Moshiach? Copyright © 2002 Gil Student – www.MoshiachTalk.com his son R' Sholom Dovber (1860-1920), the Rebbe Rashab, took over after him. In 1920, R' Yosef Yitzchok Schneerson (1880-1950), the Rebbe Rayatz, took over the mantle of leadership of Lubavitch from his father.

    Sichos in English Classics 19 Yud Shvat, 5711 [1951] Proceeding Together Sichos In English 788 Eastern Parkway Brooklyn, New York 11213 www.sie.org ב"ה IN PLACE OF AN INTRODUCTION At the Shloshim of R’ Yonah Avtzon A”H, Director of Sichos in English, a resolution was taken to reprint the original weekly Sichos in English publications. To fulfill this, a weekly booklet including a translation of a farbrengen as it was first published will be distributed. Our intention is to reprint the entire set in the near future. Following the Sichos we will include an addendum with pictures, notes, and insights into the process of its publication. These weekly publications can be sponsored to honor a loved one, a Yortzeit or a simcha by contacting us at [email protected]. If you would like to receive this weekly publication to your email, then please use the above email address as well, or you can sign up to receive it on WhatsApp at 917-868-6509. To partner with us, so that we can continue to publish original Sichos in English content as well as behind the scenes stories and documents, please make a contribution at: sie.org/partner | 2 | INTRO As we stand during the weeks leading up to Gimmel Tammuz we felt it appropriate to bring Sichos from the SIE set “Proceeding Together” which documents the Sichos of the early years, soon after the Histalkus of the Previous Rebbe. This set was published by SIE soon after Gimmel Tammuz 5754, and offered strength and guidance to Chassidim at that difficult time.

Chabad is today one of the world's best known Hasidic movements and is well known for its outreach. Organizationally, it is the largest Jewish religious organization in the world.[2][3] ,Wisdom" :( המכח , הניב , תעד ) is a Hebrew acronym for Chochmah, Binah, Da'at ( בח "ד :Founded in 1755 by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the name "Chabad" (Hebrew Understanding, and Knowledge" which represent the intellectual underpinnings of the movement.[4][5] The name "Lubavitch" is the Yiddish name for the originally Belorussian village Lyubavichi where the movement's leaders lived for over 100 years. The Chabad movement represents an intellectual-mystical school of thought established and led by a dynasty of Hasidic rebbes. The movement was based in Lyubavichi (Lubavitch) for over a century, then briefly centered in the cities of Rostov-on-Don, Riga, and Warsaw. From 1940[6] until the present day, the movement's center has been in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn.[7][8] In 1950, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson became the seventh and last Rebbe of Chabad-Lubavitch, and transformed it from a small hasidic movement, into the largest Jewish movement in the world today. He established a network of more than 3,600 institutions that provide religious, social and humanitarian needs in over 1,000 cities, spanning 80 countries and 49 of the 50 American states.[9][10][11][12][13][14] Chabad institutions provide outreach to unaffiliated Jews, and humanitarian aid, as well as religious, cultural and educational activities at Chabad run community centers, synagogues, schools, camps, and soup kitchens.
