Youth Peace & Mount Sinai
Peace, harmony and friendship are some of the sweetest and most enjoyable feelings in life. The joy and pleasure of enjoying a true friendship is cherished by people around the world.
The Talmud teaches that when G-d gave the Torah and the Ten Commandments to the Jewish people at Mount Sinai, He gave us the ability to bring peace into the world. Torah is what gives us the ability and power to reconcile between opponents. To bring peace into our life.
In Torah Or -Yisro- the Alter Rebbe explains that G-d placed His essence inside the Torah. This is what enables us to bring harmony between the physical and the spiritual. It gives us the tools to make peace between our G-d oriented soul and our animalistic survival soul. A Jew can transform the physical of the world into a vessel for the holiness and spirituality of the Divine. A marriage of Heaven and Earth.
This gives us motivation and inspiration:
We are blessed to have the opportunity of enjoying both the physical and the spiritual. Judaism does not see the physical and the spiritual as enemies. On the contrary. Our job and mission is to take the physical and infuse it with holiness. Moshiach is a beautiful world of harmony, peace and unity.
There is nothing sweeter then peace and unity. Invest all the necessary effort for peace and harmony. In human relationships as well as in your Divine relationship.

Instead of ignoring the beauty of the world, embrace it and enjoy it. Connect your physical dimension to your spiritual dimension. By doing so you are successfully making peace between Heaven and Earth. You are enjoying and living the purpose for which you and the world are created.
3 messages based on the teachings of the Rebbe:
1) To love your fellow Jew is to love G-d. You cannot separate G-d from the Jew. Love your fellow Jew and G-d will show His love to you.
2) The Shpoler Zeide was a holy righteous Tzadik and a colleague of the Alter Rebbe. His famous song of Hop Kazak is connected with the Kozak army. Their soldiers were a famous strong army who aspired and were determined to achieve victory.
We too must be soldiers in the army of Hashem. We should have the courage, resilience and determination to fulfill our mission. Be proud of your Jewish identity. The world needs your good deeds.

3) Jewish Education is a lifelong mission. We always need to learn and to grow. Stagnation is connected to the opposite of life. The more you grow the more you are alive and the younger you become. Youth is not measured by age but by spirit!
