Throughout the years, the Rebbe encouraged the celebration of Simchas Beis Hashoeiva on Sukkos in vast measures. In the earlier years, the Rebbe himself conducted the farbrengens, delivering lengthy sichos and singing joyous niggunim with the crowd. Things took a major turn in 5741, when the Rebbe initiated the custom of delivering a sicha on each night of Sukkos. In these talks, the Rebbe expounded upon the theme of the Ushpizin of the day, and also encouraged everyone to celebrate the Simcha with joy and dancing in the streets! The following excerpt presented is from a sicha on Shabbos Parshas Ha’azinu - 13 Tishrei 5752, in which the Rebbe speaks in preparation for the upcoming Yom Tov of Sukkos, focusing on the great joy contained within these festive days. The Rebbe explains how this happiness also relates to our imminent welcoming of Moshiach Tzidkeinu, and stresses that we should not keep our happiness to ourselves, but rather share it with every Jew that we possibly can. (Sichos Kodesh 5752 vol. 1 p. 97) Sharing the Joy - at least another three, equal to the This also includes the ultimate brocha of and I will make“ ,”ואולך אתכם קוממיות“ (.It is important to bear in mind the minimum three required by Halacha... need to help other Jews take part in the Those who visit these Jews should you stand upright and proud,” which will joy of Yom-Tov, especially in the special also encourage them about following happen when Moshiach arrives. festivities of Simchas Beis Hashoevah.

  • The Rosh Chodesh Planner Was Designed to Serve As a Resource for Shluchos When Planning Women's Programs. Many Years Ago, When
    בס"ד PREFACE The Rosh Chodesh Planner was designed to serve as a resource for shluchos when planning women’s programs. Many years ago, when one of the first shluchim arrived in Pittsburgh, PA, prepared to combat the assimilation of America through hafotzas hamayonos, one of the directives of the Rebbe to the shlucha was that it did not suffice for her to only become involved in her husband’s endeavors, but that she should become involved in her own areas of activities as well. Throughout the years of his nesiyus, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Nesi Dorenu, appreciated and valued the influential role the woman plays as the akeres habayis. This is evident in the many sichos which the Rebbe dedicated specifically to Jewish women and girls worldwide. Involved women are catalysts for involved families and involved communities. Shluchos, therefore, have always dedicated themselves towards reaching a broad spectrum of Jewish women from many affiliations, professions and interests. Programs become educational vehicles, provide networking and outreach opportunities for the participants, and draw them closer in their unified quest for a better and more meaningful tomorrow. Many shluchos have incorporated a schedule of gathering on a monthly basis. Brochures are mailed out at the onset of the year containing the year’s schedule at a glance. Any major event(s) are incorporated as well. This system offers the community an organized and well-planned view of the year’s events. It lets them know what to expect and gives them the ability to plan ahead. In the z’chus of all the positive accomplishments that have been and are continuously generated from women’s programs, may we be worthy of the immediate and complete Geulah.

  • Thank You Hashem by Rabbi Zalman A
    The World of Lubavitch A publication of Chabad-Lubavitch, Toronto SEPTEMBER 2020 Vol. 46 No. 2 (154) TISHREI 5781 Thank you Hashem By Rabbi Zalman A. Grossbaum For the better part of this year we have been spending much time discussing and debating the ramifications of Covid 19 and how it has impacted our lives and life style. Yet, little has been said, or written about the virus, from a historical Judaic per- spective. The Midrash relates that during the rein of King David there was a mysterious plague. Each day some 100 people passed away. Recognizing that something out of the ordinary was amiss, the mon- arch invoked his divine perception and prophetical- ly foretold that the antidote for the pestilence was to praise G-d 100 times throughout the day. Indeed, after he instituted the said quota the plague ceased. This innovation carries through to this very day. Our three daily prayers as presented in the Siddur provide the requisite quota needed to comply with the edict of the Psalmist. All true, but factually the structured prayers found in the Siddur and recited throughout the day was compiled by Ezra the Scribe who led the Jews back to the Land of Israel after 70 years of exile in Babylon. This epic return occurred some five hundred years after the sovereign leader- ship of King David. Hence, this leads me to assume that back then a prayer of thankgiving was an informal spontaneous declaration of gratitude. It did not take on the form and structure of a prescribed written text.

  • We Used to Call It a Mitzvah by Baila Olidort - New York There Is No Remembrance of Former Things

Who hasn’t seen photos of them wading through floodwaters, throwing out lifelines and handing out water bottles when tornadoes and tsunamis strike. Why carp? It’s true that among everything else they do, the Rebbe’s shluchim do these things too. The preponderance of goodness and kindness that Chabad has generated around the world cannot be gainsaid. It’s made Chabad a household name, and its representa- tives the go-to people for anyone who needs help anywhere in the world.
