    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.

Life: The Game you Can't Win - And How To Change The Rules

  I. The Human Search for Worth Human beings are meaning-seeking creatures. Our deepest desire is not merely to live, but to live well. Material comfort, social recognition, and personal achievements can enhance life, but they are insufficient on their own. Beneath every pursuit lies a deeper question: “Was it worth it?” Happiness — in any lasting, authentic sense — is inseparable from the conviction that one’s existence carries worth and justification. To experience true fulfillment, one must believe that being alive is better than never having been born. This is why a statement from the Talmud stands out as so startling and disruptive. It challenges not only our assumptions about how to live but the very foundations of why we live at all. II. The Debate at the Heart of Existence In Eruvin 13b, the Talmud records a remarkable discussion between two of the greatest intellectual and spiritual schools in Jewish history: Beis Shammai and Beis Hillel. For two and a half years, these sa...

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...

Hate all Evil – The greatness of Shimon and Levi

In Parshas Vayishlach we read of the shocking and brutal kidnapping and rape of Dinah – daughter of ya’akov, by Shchem – son of Chamor. The response by Dinah’s brothers (particularly Shimon and Levi) was fierce and convincing. They proceeded to trick the males of the city into circumcising themselves and then attacked and killed out the entire city. It is not the purpose of this essay to explore whether or not their actions were justified; this has already been dealt with at length by many notable commentators. What I do wish to explore here is their emotional reaction to their sister’ rape, which I believe was not only justified but actually reflects on their greatness of character. A person’s actions are highly reflective of the way they feel “inside”. If Shimon and Levi were driven to such drastic and fierce actions, one can only imagine the type of disgust, rage and disdain they felt at what had just transpired. They were affected so deeply by what Shchem did to their ...
