WHERE WOULD WE BE TODAY IF NOT FOR RAV WOLPO?

As activists and educators kick into high gear their drive to register more and more children for a Chabad chinuch al taharas ha’kodesh for the upcoming school year, Beis Moshiach gathered a representative group of Anash who nostalgically told of Rabbi Sholom Dovber Wolpo’s house calls to their parents. During these visits, he registered them in Chabad schools in Kiryat Gat. Thanks to him, these children have since established many dozens of beautiful Lubavitcher families. * On this occasion, the participants celebrated their spiritual father’s birthday. Part 2 of 2.

SHLICHUS IN A PHILIPPINE PARADISE

They arrived in the city of El Nido without almost any prior knowledge of the location and they were unpleasantly surprised. Harsh conditions, stifling humidity, high cost of living, regular cessations of water and electricity services – and all this was only a part of a “welcome” that nearly broke their spirit. Rabbi Yossi Marom, his wife Efrat, and their four children are found each day on this site, called a “paradise” due to its breathtaking beauty, while operating under difficult conditions, as they prepare the town for the coming of Moshiach Tzidkeinu. A fascinating spiritual journey.

PREPARING FOR PESACH ON SHLICHUS

You work hard to prepare for Pesach. Have you ever thought about what it’s like to prepare to host hundreds of people, without a microphone, and all that food? When do the preparations begin (“the previous Motzaei Pesach”)? How are the Chabad hiddurim and chumros observed in places where people don’t even know the basic laws of Pesach? * These questions and others were asked of four young shluchim in distant countries, who took time off between their busy activities to tell us how it works

CHASSIDIC JEWISH PRIDE IN THE CRADLE OF NAZISM

R’ Binyamin Braun lives in Munich, Germany, speaks four languages, was a business success to the tune of many millions, and left it all to learn in yeshiva at age forty. * Today, among his many activities, he spreads Judaism and Chassidus, and chooses to confront the rising trend of Neo-Nazism head on. One of the ways that he does so is by his now yearly tradition of lighting the fifth Chanuka light in the Odeonsplatz in the heart of Munich, in the exact place where the wicked mass murderer, may his name be blotted out, stood and fired up one and a half million Germans against the Jews.

FROM IVY LEAGUE LAW SCHOOL TO SHLICHUS AT HEBREW U

A SHLIACH MUST REMEMBER HIS POWER SOURCE

Although bittul is something that is required of every Chassid, it is more so for those shluchim who are accomplishing great things, who were entrusted with the tremendous powers of “The emissary of a man is like himself.” * They (actually, us) need to be exceedingly careful to remember that it is all exclusively with the power of the “sender,” and this power is only accessed through the absolute bittul of the shliach to the meshaleiach, and complete obedience to his directives in every detail. * A posthumous article by the venerated shliach, in honor of Yud Shvat
