He is praised by the Frierdiker Rebbe for his genius in Torah, one that earned fame even in the distant Vilna, and for his descriptive imagination with an eloquent delivery. He had a pleasant A Chossid’s demeanor even with ordinary townsmen and he was well liked by all. Reb Groinem, the legendary mashpia in Lubavitch, summed it up: “Reb Aizil was a man of all talents. He was incredible in the intellectual perspective understanding of Chassidus (haskala) and its application in life (avoda), in the study of revealed parts of Torah and of Chassidus, in the ways of Reb Aizil Homiler Chassidus and in the ways of the world.” ■■■ early beginnings he finally entered yechidus, his pan read, “How can the ‘toiling soul’ draw near to Reb Aizil was born around the year Elokus?” As he handed the pan to the 5530 (1770) to Reb Mordechai HaLevi Alter Rebbe, he fainted.

One need A Glimpse from just flip through a volume of Likkutei Sichos and see the thousands of references over a wide range of topics to appreciate the extensiveness of the Rebbe’s Torah knowledge. Up-Close Nevertheless, as part of my work to review and transcribe the Rebbe’s sichos, I had the chance to catch Reb Yoel Kahn a glimpse of his amazing memory from up close. For example, after a certain sicha was given to the Rebbe for editing, the Rebbe added a number of lines from the sefer Resisei Layla from R. Tzaddok HaKohen of Lublin. Since he didn’t have the actual sefer at hand, the Rebbe asked that the quote be REb YoEl Kahn served as the chief checked for accuracy before the sicha was printed. We teacher and disseminator of the Rebbe's teachings for over forty years. Besides his visited the Rebbe’s library and checked up the quote breadth of knowledge, Reb Yoel is considered in the sefer. Aside for a word or two, we discovered by many to be the most profound scholar of that the entire citation was accurate!

Translated by Rabbi Yehuda Leib Altein. A similar incident took place not long after the Rebbe accepted the nesius in 5711 (1951). At that time, we began compiling and publishing the sichos said by the Rebbe during the previous year (the year of mourning for the Frierdiker Rebbe), and a number of these sichos were edited by the Rebbe.

This letter is a foundational letter (#1373 in Igros Kodesh vol. 5) which applies to all tmimim as can be seen in the Rebbe’s letter to the mashpi’im (see letter #1367 and #1372) asking them to explain it to their talmidim and sending references to maamarim which discuss its theme. In a letter to R’ Shlomo Chaim, the Rebbe writes “since you write that you read aloud the letter I wrote to some of the talmidim regarding plowing and sowing to the other students also, perhaps it would worthwhile to publicize it at the other classes in the Lud Yeshiva as well…” — FREE TRANSLATION — plowed and sown field, so too is it with [Divine] blessings — that the recipient .must preface it with plowing and sowing ב“ה, כ“ז טבת, תשי“ב But [when this is done,] even a relatively ברוקלין.

  • Vaad Hakohol of Crown Heights
    11 Reserve the Date: ELECTIONS -SSUNDAY, 2 IYAR, APRIL 30 VAAD HAKOHOL OF CROWN HEIGHTS What did the Rebbe mean when he said; “This is not Russia!”? () When the Vaad Hakohol announced that elections will be held for addi- tional Rabbomim we made it very clear that these elections will be open, honest and transparent. As the Rebbe said very clearly, “This is not Russia.” What worked in Russia will not work here in a democratic and open society. This means anyone is free to recommend qualified candidates for the Beis Din. It means legitimate elections that offer the voters real choices, not “yes or no” on a single unopposed candidate. It means engaging objective outside monitors to supervise the entire election process so that no one should have any doubts regarding the elections outcome. It means involving netzigim from a range of local shuls to act as observers and make sure nothing underhanded takes place. Reserve the Date: ELECTIONS -SSUNDAY, 2 IYAR, APRIL 30 22 Unfortunately the last election in 5763 failed to conform to even minimal standards of democratic process. To begin with, there was only a single candidate. This was the sort of practice the Rebbe was referring to as “This is not Russia!” Furthermore, the Vaad Hakohol at that time – with the signatures of Yaakov Herzog, Nochum Gross and Chanina Sperlin – wrote in their announcement of 9 Marcheshvon 5763 as follows: “...The Rebbe has instructed us that the appointment of Rabbonim should be through the participation of the entire Kehillah* by public mandate, therefore with the consent of Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba Shlita, we would like to inform you tht G-d willing elections will take place Sunday 21 of Marcheshvon 5763… “At this time you will have an opportunity to elect … Rabbi Yaakov Schwei, who currently is assisting the B”D in its many duties and is willing to serve as a full time Rov and Member of the B”D as necessary.

  • Attitudes Toward the Study of Zohar and Lurianic Kabbalah, from the Dawn of Chasidism to Present Day Chabad
    57 Attitudes toward the Study of Zohar and Lurianic Kabbalah, from the Dawn of Chasidism to Present Day Chabad By: CHAIM MILLER In the contemporary Chabad community, study of the primary texts of Kabbalah is not emphasized. Chabad Chasidic thought (Chasidus) is studied extensively, as are the sermons (sichos) of the Lubavitcher Reb- bes, texts that themselves are rich in citations from, and commentary on, Kabbalistic sources. However, for reasons I will explore in this essay, Kabbalah study from primary texts, such as the Zohar and works of Rabbi Yitzchak Luria (Arizal), is relatively uncommon in Chabad. This has been noted by the Seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe himself: “Generally speaking, Kabbalah study was not common, even among Chabad Chasidim.”1 Is this omission intentional, a matter of principle? Or is Kabbalah study deemed worthwhile by Chabad, but neglected merely due to the priority of other activities? 1 Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, Toras Menachem, Hisvaduyos 5745 (Vaad Hanachos Lahak, 1985) volume 2, p. 1147. The Rebbe stressed that “Kabbalah study was not common, even among Chabad Chasidim” since, of the various strands of Chasidic thought, Chabad Chasidus is particularly rich in its use of Kabbalistic sources (see below section “Lurianic Kabbalah in Early Chabad”). One might therefore expect that Chabad Chasidim in particular might be in- clined to Kabbalah study. Rabbi Chaim Miller was educated at the Haberdashers’ Aske’s School in London, England and studied Medical Science at Leeds University. At the age of twenty-one, he began to explore his Jewish roots in full-time Torah study. Less than a decade later, he published the best-selling Kol Menachem Chumash, Gutnick Edition, which made over a thousand discourses of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe easily accessible to the layman.
