It therefore “draws near the Redemption,” as ֶשׁ" ְמּ ָקֶר ֶבת ֶאת ַה ְג ָאוּלה". As the farbrengen drew to a close the Rebbe summarized the call of the hour — to increase it elevates all the vitality invested into earning that study of Torah, especially on Moshiach matters: money which was given to tzedakah. :The Rebbe goes on to show how giving tzedakah and learning about Moshiach can be combined ְו ַﬠל ֶשׁל ֹפּ ַﬠל ָבּ ִאתי – ְוּבַו ַדּאי ְי ְעוֹררוּ ִו ַיפְר ְסמוּ My intention here is action.

Rabbi Chaim Gutnick, on the 8th of Iyar 5751, in the weeks after the famous sicha of 28 Nissan, wrote a heartfelt letter to the Rebbe asking the Rebbe for guidance what to do to bring The Rebbe adds an important instruction as to the manner of study: Moshiach. “Surely the Rebbe knows what needs to be done,” he begs the Rebbe, and ends with ”!?Gevald!

  • Divine Image,Prospectives on Noahide Laws
    Divine Image Divine Image View All Divine Image Book Insights into the Noahide Laws Through the light of Torah and Chabad philosophy Adapted by Rabbi Yakov Dovid Cohen Copyright © 2006 by Rabbi Yakov Dovid Cohen All Rights Reserved ISBN 1-4243-1000-8 978-1-4243-1000-5 Published by The Institute of Noahide Code www.Noahide.org Printed in the United States of America In English En Español En français En français En français 한국어 中文 اﻟﺬات اﻹﻟﻬﻴﺔ INTRODUCTION Every person is created with a Divine image. It is the task of every one of us to elevate all human activity to a Divine purpose. In short, this means being able to connect every human activity with G-d – and this is precisely the purpose of the Torah and its commandments, called mitzvoth in Hebrew. Every human being has the unique ability to connect his entire being with the Creator. Upon achieving this task, he creates a dwelling place for G-d in this world, thereby fulfilling the purpose of creation. As is explained in this book, the worlds of the spiritual and the physical are not in conflict. Their ultimate purpose is that they be fused together with the physical being permeated by the spiritual. The core element of every mitzvah – commandment performance is to take the physical creation and utilize it for a Divine purpose. Thereby a wonderful harmony achieving both in the individual and in the world at large. This is a theme that encompasses all times and places; wherever and whenever a person operates, he is able to utilize the task at hand for its correct and Divine purpose, thus transforming one’s daily life activities into a dwelling place for G-d.

  • Torah Online - Rabbi Tuvia Bolton
    Torah Online - Rabbi Tuvia Bolton This week's section explains how the Land of Israel was to be divided among the twelve tribes: 1) The largest tribe got the largest area. 2) The "Urim and Tumim" in the Breastplate of the Cohen Gadol miraculously decided. 3) Lots were drawn, arbitrarily matching each tribe with an area. This doesn't seem to make sense. If the land is allocated according to population, what was the point of consulting the Urim and Tumim, or casting lots? Even more importantly; what has all this got to do with us today? We don't even have a holiday celebrating the day we entered Israel. I want to answer with a story. A very successful businessman, a Chabad Chassid by the name of Rabbi Chaim Gutnick who lived in Sydney Australia, was invited by the small Jewish community of "Adalide" to serve as their Cantor for the High Holy Days. Rabbi Gutnick refused on the spot. True, he had a pleasant voice, but he also had four small children at home, and no desire to travel so far (several hour's flight), no need for the money, and no intention of becoming a Rabbi or a Cantor. "They have a few months, let them find someone else." He thought to himself. Two weeks later he was surprised to see in his mailbox a letter from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, addressed to him. "What could this be?" he said to himself as he put on his jacket and opened the letter with trepidation.” The Rebbe wrote that he was disappointed to hear that Rabbi Gutnick refused the Adalide community.

    ב"ה Family Treasures Memento from the wedding of Efraim and Shaina Duchman 15th of Elul, 5774 • September 10, 2014 Prepared by Dovid Zaklikowski ([email protected]). The Rebbe at the wedding of chosson's grandparents, Mendel and Sara Shemtov, 10 Tamuz, 5716 (June 19th, 1956). In the center (wearing glasses), is his great-grandfather, Reb Zalman Duchman. WELCOME To our dear family and friends, At all joyous events we begin by thanking G-d for granting us life, sustaining us and enabling us to be here together. We are thrilled that you are here to share in our simcha - joyous occasion. Indeed, Jewish law enjoins the entire community to bring joy and elation to the chosson and kallah - the bride and groom. The wedding of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, took place in Warsaw in 1928. In honor of the occasion, the bride’s father, the sixth Chabad Rebbe, distributed a special teshurah, memento, to all the celebrants: a facsimile of a manuscript letter written by the first Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi. Following this tradition, we are honored to present our memento: a compilation of letters Rabbi Schneur Zalman Duchman, Efraim’s paternal great-grandfather, received from the Rebbe. This is an excerpt from the forthcoming book of stories, translated into English for the first time. This memento is crowned with Mazel Tov wishes from the Rebbe to Shaina's parents and from Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka and Rebbetzin Chana, the Rebbe's mother, to her grandparents, Rabbi Asher and Nechama Heber, may they be blessed with many more happy and healthy years.
