Hi


Wishing you Gut Shabbos. Shabbat Shalom. 


24 Teves is the Hillula - Yortzeit of the founder of Chabad, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi. 


The Alter Rebbe said that at the young age of five years old he already understood that every Jew has two souls. The G-dly soul and the Animalistic soul. 


A while later he concluded the difference: The essence and personality of the G-dly soul is to seek the truth. Torah and Mitzvot and good character. 


The essence and personality of the Animalistic soul is that it is a liar who only seeks bodily pleasure. It tries to convince a person to live a life of materialism and vanity.   


Later the Alter Rebbe concluded that we each have a third soul. The Soul of Inelegance. This third soul helps us to intellectually distinguish between the truth of the G-dly soul and the lies of the Animalistic soul.  


The purpose of life is to transform exile into redemption. To transform lies into truth. Darkness into light. When we study Chabad teachings we propel ourselves to a higher level of a life of truth and light. 


May you be blessed to explore and discover your inner strengths and the powers of your Divine soul which has infinite ability. 


Maximize your potential. You will be happy that you discovered your unlimited ability to live a life of goodness.


3 messages based on the teachings of the Rebbe:


1) The Egyptian Exodus means shattering and then departure. To go away from Egypt. The Chassidic exodus means purification and correction, stepping out of worldly limitations and bounds while remaining in the world. While functioning within the world, we must transcend it’s limitations and perceive the truth. 


2) Sighing by itself won't do a bit of good. A sigh is only a key to open the heart and eyes. Not to sit with folded arms, but to plan orderly work and activity, spreading Torah and the observance of Mitzvot. One person might do this through his writing, another with his oratory, another with his wealth.


3) Life is not about being better then everybody else. Your sincere efforts are appreciated by our loving Father in Heaven. It is a mistake to focus on being the best amongst your friends. You should focus on maximizing your own potential and be the best that you personally can be.

17 Teves ויחי January 1 Motivation Destiny & Challenges

  Click Here: Chabad Inspiration Motivation Destiny & Challenges  Hi Wishing you Gut Shabbos. Shabbat Shalom Candle Lighting January 1 - 17 Teves NY Metro 4:18pm Did you ever wonder: What does it mean to bless G-d? Does He need anything? What can we give Him which He does not have? Chabad philosophy explains that the Creator voluntarily chose to need your input in order to achieve His plan of creation.  Only you alone can chose to welcome the Creator as a partner in your personal life. If the Creator only forces His way in to your life then His goal is not achieved.  The first two Hebrew words of almost all blessings is “Boruch Atah. Blessed are you. “ The word “You” refers to the pure essence of the Creator. To “Bless” means to draw down. To bring it down to our level. To welcome our loving Father in Heaven into our worldly reality.  Adam and Eve were given the most incredible gift of importance, significance and meaning:  Their behavior and the behavi...

BH Shnas Hakhel Click Here: Chabad Inspiration Hi Wishing you Gut Shabbos. Shabbat Shalom! Candle Lighting August 11 - Av 24 Metro New York 7:41pm In Honor of The Rebbe's Father's Hillula - Yortzeit 20 Av 1944 Intelligence Courage & Pleasure The modern world is in pursuit of happiness, meaning and joy. Self help books and coaching are popular. Yet despite the abundance of advice and tips, many people find it challenging to reach this goal.  In Lekutei Torah - Re’ei- the Alter Rebbe explains that even if your mind has all the wisdom and knowledge but we fail to have “Bitul” Submission to the higher truth of the Creator of of all existence, then the wisdom, inspiration and passion will fade and dissipate.  As long as a person is self centered and refuses to submit to the higher truth of existence, then a person will remain trapped and stuck. But on the other hand, when a person embraces our loving Father in Heaven, then their wisdom, inspiration and passion will raise them t...

לחץ כאן: השראה של חב"ד פורים אתה ושמחה (תירגום google מאנגלית) לחיים עם הבורא! חיוכים וילדים שמחים מאפיינים את חג הפורים. במשך אלפי שנים יהודים בכל חלקי העולם חוגגים את חג פורים. ניצחון עם היהודי על  שונאינו ומדכאינו. פורים במובן מסוים הוא סיפור של כוחו של היחיד. הסצינות העיקריות בסיפור פורים שהתרחשו בפרס במאה הרביעית לפני הספירה נסבות סביב אדם אחד. מלך אחד. המן אחד. אסתר אחת. מרדכי אחד. עם אחד. בפורים אנו קוראים את המגילה. במשנה כתוב:  ״הקורא את המגילה למפרע לא יצא". הרבי מצטט לעתים קרובות את פרשנותו של הבעל שם טוב:  מי שקורא את סיפור המגילה של פורים "הפוך" בזמן וחושב שמדובר ב"סיפור ישן״ ולא עדכני לא קיים את המצווה. ישנם כמעט 8 מיליארד אנשים החיים על פני כדור הארץ! ממבט מתמטית אז סתם אדם אחד עשוי להיראות כאילו חסר משמעות. פורים מלמד אותנו:  לעולם לא להתעלם או להמעיט בכוחו של יחיד. בגלל רק אדם אחד רע, המן הרשע, כל היהודים היו בסכנה קיומית. אלוקים ביצע את הנס דרך אדם אחד - הגיבורה אסתר - וניצלנו.  כולנו כאן היום בזכות: אסתר המ...
