Motivation Priorities & Continuity

Hi

Wishing you Gut Shabbos

In Honor of The Birthday of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson 25 Adar

Freedom: Your personal choice!

The Jewish people have overcome more persecutions and existential threats then any other people on earth.  The Jew is the world expert in making triumphant comebacks from the brink of extinction.

The resilience of the Jew is astonishing. While the Jew is the smallest of all nations, the renaissance of Jewish life is clear testimony that the Jew has a unique winning formula. Connected to a higher Being.

A depressed slow-moving wrestling giant will lose the match against a highly motivated weaker opponent who is excited to act swiftly and win.

“It is not the size of the man in the fight. It is the size of the fight in the man”

Freedom is a decision. Judaism asks that we see ourselves each day of our life as if we personally were liberated from Egypt. We are empowered to choose daily: freedom and life.

Nothing can stop a person from choosing to be “psychologically and emotionally free”.  Even the Nazis could not stop Jews from choosing to rebuild life with a family filled with love, happiness and meaning.

As Holocaust survivor Dr. Victor Frankel inspired millions by saying: As long as you have a purpose and a meaning you can overcome any challenge.

As we  prepare for Passover the holiday of our “Freedom” let us remember our illustrious rich history. Our 3300 year national story is one of triumph and kindness. The Jew smartly uses challenges as springboards to even greater growth and success.

Let’s be smart. Transforming anxiety into positive energy. Let us show the young generation how we make lemonade from lemons. How to become kinder and better people. To appreciate and enjoy Jewish family values.

Above all let’s inspire the young generation to prioritize Jewish continuity. To proclaim with gratitude and pride: Shma Yisroel, we  believe in one G-d and we celebrate that our Father in Heaven loves his children  unconditionally.

Today and forever we are proud to be a Jew!

3 messages based on the teachings of the Rebbe:

1) Today more then ever we must ensure that no child is left behind and that every Jewish child has a place at the Pesach Seder table. We owe it to the young generation to provide them with answers to their questions.

2) What is forbidden is forbidden, and what is permitted is unnecessary.

3) G-d loves every Jew more then an elderly couple loves their child who was born to them in their old age. Love and be kind to a Jew and G-d will love and be kind to you.
