Hi


Wishing you Gut Shabbos. Shabbat Shalom


7 Adar - Birthday & Passing of Moshe

Wings Warmth & Progress


Three times a day the golden wings of the Cherubs - Keruvim of the Holy Ark would miraculously rise on their own. Corresponding to the times of the 3 daily prayers. 


The Alter Rebbe Rabbi Schneur Zalman explains in Torah Or that “wings” enable a bird to fly and to rise to great heights. Our love and fear of our loving Father in Heaven are our “wings” which enable  us to reach new spiritual heights. 


When we do a Mitzvah filled with enthusiasm and passion then our emotions serve as energy to propel our deeds, we soar to new spiritual heights. 


King Solomon’s metaphors describe the love of the Jewish people and our Father in Heaven. The words “I will find you outside” refer to the Jew who does Buisness as a proud Jew in the “outside world”. Elevating the sparks of holiness trapped in our physical world. 


This brings us blessings and success. It brings healing, peace and redemption to our world. Your deeds hasten the coming of Moshiach. 


When a parent gives a child a kiss, it is because words can not express the love. Our good deeds bring redemption to the trapped sparks of holiness hidden in our world. This is compared to a kiss, because the pleasure that G-d has is greater then the expression of words. 


When you do a Mitzvah you are creating a “soul to soul” connection. You are connecting to G-d with a kiss. 


Enjoy your Mitzvah! G-d is waiting to kiss you!


3 messages based on the teachings of the Rebbe:


1) Purim we celebrate the preciousness of every Jew. You are loved by G-d on a level of “Pur” which means “lottery”. There is no logic in a lottery. It transcends reason. You are always special and loved by our loving Father in Heaven. 


2) A key to success: We must at least once a year have “a movement of our essence”. הזזה עצמית. This deep essence movement of progress is most effective when it is at the outset of our journey. 


3) A Jew is always “warm”. Exuding love, happiness and enthusiasm. “Coldness” is an ailment and a threat to our spiritual health. We remember to erase the name of Amalek because when we left Egypt he wanted to make the Jew “cold”. Love your fellow Jew with warmth and G-d will reveal His love to you!

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...
