Since Yishmoel is characterized by chesed – just like Avrohom, but as an expression of klipa – there is in a sense a greater affinity between Yishmoel and Avrohom than Yitzchok and Avrohom
Yitzchak, arguably the most enigmatic of the Patriarchs, had a most unusual pursuit: digging wells.
It’s a project that seems like something out of the end-of-days prophecies, with close to a million Jews around the world uniting to observe Shabbos. * The Shabbos Project is the brainchild of Rabbi Warren Goldstein, Chief Rabbi of South Africa, who says that the project is to hasten the Geula. * Small Shabbos stories from behind the huge global project.
There probably isn’t a Lubavitcher Chassid who doesn’t know how to sing or hum the niggun Shamil and tell the moving story that the Rebbe told about the background to the tune. Many do not know that Shamil was a Caucasus warlord who murdered many Jews. Many also do not know additional and interesting details behind the tune and his story.
We have entered the Chassidishe month of Kislev. It is a month filled with many Chassidishe Yomim Tovim as well as the Yom Tov of Chanuka. The month starts with Rosh Chodesh Kislev, the day that we celebrate the great miracles and kindness of Hashem for the complete restoration of health to our Rebbe in 5738.
Difficulties with their work responsibilities brought Rabbi and Mrs. Nemni to the decision to leave their shlichus after only one year. An amazing dream about the Rebbe together with a surprising gift changed their plans.
The passion, the excitement, the intensity, the shlichus: 26 years since the Kinus HaShluchim 5753. Beis Moshiach spoke with three shluchim, who carry those moments of eternity with them through every moment on shlichus, and ever since then, in every project and activity, they proudly proclaim the Besuras HaGeula and the identity of the go’el.
