After quoting a brief maamar of the Alter Rebbe, the Rebbe Rayatz concludes: “Elder chassidim used to relate that by delivering that maamar, the Alter Rebbe uncovered in his chassidim the light of the soul. Within all of them, even within the most ordinary chassidim, their souls stood revealed.” The prayer and the wish that we share with our readers is that in us, too, pondering over these selections will enable the soul within us, too, to stand revealed. 3 29 Elul, 5700 (1940):1 Erev Rosh HaShanah, 5701 (1940) 1. -
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. -

Can you explain what exactly that where the father has hidden from the son in order to get could look like? –Yehuda M. his son to look for him. Before the father decided to hide, the son knew the father face-to-face and knew that his father loved him.

The father continues to hide, but he knows One of the main challenges involved in developing his son is looking for him, and that causes him to feel even complete emunah in the coming of Moshiach is that it more love for his son than before.

When the Rebbe returned, he glanced at his watch and asked the chossid if he touched it. -

We Used to Call It a Mitzvah by Baila Olidort - New York There Is No Remembrance of Former Things
The World of Lubavitch A publication of Chabad-Lubavitch, Toronto Vol. 42 No. 2 (146) TISHREI 5777 SEPTEMBER 2016 We Used to Call it a Mitzvah By Baila Olidort - New York There is no remembrance of former things . And I hated all my labor wherein I labored under the sun, seeing that I must leave it unto the man that shall be after me. And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Ecclesiastes 2:18 The other day I heard someone say Chabad was “a humanitari- an Jewish organization.” I cringed. She had just come from an event promoting a “groundswell of transformative social good.” One of the stage props was a larger-than-life photo of the Rebbe. The Rebbe was being honored on a platform of social goodness. Many know his emissaries as the rabbis who run “relief centers” around the world. 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. Maybe it rankles because those of us who experienced the Reb- be in his lifetime feel protective of his vision, and to think Chabad a humanitarian organization seems a misunderstanding of his legacy.
