    Connecting to the Rebbe is not limited to pysical boundaries. When you study the teachings of the Rebbe and follow his directives it is as if you are with the Rebbe.

When Failure is Really Success

My chassidus applied essay entry: http://meaningfullife.com/contest/2015/$19_When_Failure_Is_Really_Success_by_Sholom_Kesselman.php We all fail every now and then. We fall victim to impulses like temptation and pride and we make poor choices that we know are wrong. With time, these failures add up and we find ourselves “shlepping” them along throughout life, like heavy baggage weighing down on our consciousnesses. In the case of many, this leads to feelings of unhealthy guilt or even depression and wreaks havoc on their relationships. If only – we find ourselves wishing – we could just turn back the clock and get a second chance at whatever it was we messed up with. How does one free himself of this baggage? How do we stay positive, happy and undeterred without allowing our failures and setbacks to drag us down? Chassidus not only provides a solution but actually offers a radical and daring perspective here. Not only are these failures not our worst enemy; they’re actual...

Purim- Making Sense of the Madness

http://m.chabad.org/holidays/purim/article_cdo/aid/2515587/jewish/Making-Sense-of-the-Madness.htm Purim  is a day of extreme joy, easily one of the most joyous days in the Jewish calendar. But it’s not just the joy that is extreme; everything on Purim seems to take on an exaggerated form. The four major observances of Purim are: reading the  Megillah (Scroll of  Esther ), giving gifts to the poor, sending edible treats to our friends, and feasting. In essence, these are things we do on every Jewish holiday--we read the portions of scripture that deal with that holiday, we give charity before the holiday to help the poor with their holiday expenses, and we eat festive meals. What is unique on Purim is the way we amplify and dramatize these  mitzvahs . What is it about Purim that makes everything so dramatic? On any other  yom tov ,  we read the Torah  once during the day. On Purim we read the Megillah twice: once at night and once again during t...

Why Is Purim Named for Haman's Lots?

Image
  Purim means lots. The holiday is named for the lots which Haman drew when choosing the date upon which to implement his plan for annihilating the Jews. The choice of name though seems strange. The lots that Haman drew are but a trivial and insignificant detail in the story. There doesn't seem to be anything consequential about them. The story would remain very much the same even had Haman picked a date through some other means. Why then is the holiday named Purim and why the fuss over Haman's lots? I would like to suggest the following very simple and rational explanation. The lots, more than anything, demonstrate the hubris of Haman and the extreme position of dominance he was in. When planning a war, any commander would give much thought to choosing the best time for attack. They would no doubt be strategic about figuring out when their enemy would be at their weakest and most vulnerable. One would've expected the same of Haman. Surely he would choose his date wise...
