NOT SO AHT AHT
January 25, 2019So many years have passed since then – even decades. It’s an absolute disgrace that the Rebbe’s prophecy of imminent redemption has been delayed this long!

MOSHIACH, THE REBBE, AND THE ENTIRE GENERATION
In the same time period we have the revelation of all three [alluded to by the word “miyad,” spelled Mem-Yud-Daled]: Mem (stands for Moshiach),* Yud (stands for both names of my revered father in-law, the Rebbe, Yosef Yitzchok), and Daled (doram).

RESPECTING BOUNDARIES
The Ten Commandments (or more correctly, the Ten Statements) are not just a collection of disparate laws. There is a thematic connection between the commandments/statements.

BARGAIN BASEMENT MEZUZOS OR WORTHLESS MEZUZOS?
As a result of the inspiration generated a little over one-and-a-half years ago by the commemoration of the fifty-year anniversary of the Rebbe launching the Tefillin Campaign, many bachurim and married men stepped up their involvement in the Rebbe’s mivtzaim, as part of their effort to prepare the world to greet Moshiach.

“THIS IS THE GREATEST TRAGEDY (r”l) THERE COULD POSSIBLY BE”
This is what the Rebbe wrote to a young man from Tel Aviv. It was a Friday night in the city’s commercial center, just before the shliach folded up his table and returned home to spend Shabbos with his family. Accompanied by his friend, this young man began a heartfelt conversation with the shliach, during which he asked if he could write a letter to the Rebbe MH”M. Since he couldn’t write due to the sanctity of the day of rest, he wrote his letter – telepathically – and got an incredible answer he never expected.

ONE BRIS MILA AND $500
Igor was not interested in undergoing circumcision. He had heard about this mitzva and decided it wasn’t for him. R’ Huss could not bear to let this mitzva slip through his hands, and he explained how important it is for the neshama. But Igor didn’t get it.

THE YESHIVA YEARS CAN AND SHOULD BE THE BEST YEARS OF A BOY’S LIFE
The Aseres HaDibros (Ten Commandments) which appear twice in the Torah, once in this week’s Torah portion and once in the portion of VaEschanan, enable us to synthesize the intense G-dly revelation with the characteristics of human nature. * How do we train bachurim to love the study of Torah? What is the difference between someone who is a “Chassid” or is “Chassidic”? What is the difference between having a “mashpia” and “asei lecha rav”? And how are these questions related to the repetition of the Aseres HaDibros?
