Interpretation of this classified information shows that it was at a security level far greater than the data Jonathan Pollard gave to the Israelis, when he was employed by U.S. naval intelligence. However, this is not just a case of “passing classified information to an ally” – the crime Pollard was convicted of violating; this is a flagrant case of espionage in its purest form – at a cost of millions of dollars.
This is a real description of my father who is not an “official” shliach. He works for a living, but to him it is obvious that the Rebbe’s shlichus is not limited to those who have the title of shliach, but is the shlichus of every one of Anash.
In our incessant pursuit of quantity, we lose the quality. But the opposite extreme would also be destructive: An unhealthy obsession with quality can lead us to get stuck and accomplish nothing.
Erev Shabbos Chanuka in Eilat. As the number of people putting on t’fillin at the seashore shopping center exceeded one hundred and fifty(!), the T’mimim at the mivtzaim stand never imagined that there would be more and bigger surprises in store for them. A man with hair down to his shoulders and a cross around his neck took the stand. The questions he started asking came as an even greater surprise. How would the story end?
Numerous Jews and Israelis visit Manali, a captivating tourist site in India. * The shluchim R’ Yaakov Shatz and R’ Shneur Pugatch and their wives are there to help them.

Sergeant Shimon Cohen, who fought in the mortar unit along the Suez Canal, saw horrific scenes which still replay in his head. * After four decades in which he kept his experiences to himself, he shared with Beis Moshiach the instructions, letters and encouragement from the Rebbe that saved his life and gave him the strength to vanquish the enemy and establish a Chassidic family. * An exclusive interview marking forty years since the Yom Kippur War.
Shvat is the 11th month of the year. According to Kabbala (and elaborated upon in the sichos of winter 5752) the number 11 represents the supernatural revelation that will be in the times of Moshiach. The number 10 reflects the natural perfection that the world can attain on its own, while 11 represents the G-dly force that is hidden in creation being revealed and elevating the entire creation.
“The kibbutznikim told us: ‘It’s simply amazing. The holiness came to the kibbutz and drove out the impurity…’ They understood that G-d had arranged this shlichus for us.” A person thinks that he runs his own affairs, signs contracts, or sets out in search of a certain goal. Suddenly, he realizes that the Hand of Alm-ghty G-d directs everything …
Despite the fear and constant surveillance, the talmidim continued to learn every day. They were well trained in the event of an unexpected inspection. When they heard that a policeman was walking about outside, they quickly implemented their getaways.
… why it was necessary for the miracle of the non-barking dogs to prove this point? Wouldn’t it have sufficed for the dogs simply not to attack the Jews? Furthermore, the mere fact that the Jewish people did not suffer any of the earlier plagues should have amply demonstrated that the Jews were worthy of being spared. Why the need for this unusual miracle of keeping the dogs silent?
R’ Einhorn turned white. This was certainly not the answer he expected. That he should take all the murders and crimes this lowly man had committed upon himself? With a burden like that on his shoulders, his life was no life!
