This week's learning is sponsored by a listener in honor of the Hayom Yom of 9 Tammuz :

And this week's learning is in honor of the holy Head Shliach of Florida, Rabbi Avremel Korf, who passed away Monday Night on Yud Beis Tammuz. A shliach who turned swamp land into a vibrant Jewish State. As I heard in a story he said "I am the Rebbes...

8. Emor: Pintele Yid Chinuch

“The basis of chinuch is that all the child’s needs are being met - physical, emotional, spiritual.”
“Educating children and influencing others brings you personal redemption."
This sicha spoke about "pintele yid chinuch"
A comment from when we first discussed it " i was listening to the part abt holding high standards like the kohen even when the child doesn’t understand and doesn’t want that. Today one of my students shared a story abt the group that was brought after the Chernobyl disaster to kfar Chabad. The organizers were concerned abt a huge group...
57. Emor: Highlight Zchusim, Shlomis bas Divri

Parshas Emor, Likkutei Sichos lamed zayin, page 67 This sicha dives into Torah's mention of Shlomis bas Divri and her illicit relationship with an Egyptian man. Rashi tells us this is mentioned to praise the yidden that this was the only time this happened, and that there were no arayos within the yidden at this time. But still, why would Torah use this negative instance to highlight a positive praise of the yidden? This can be compared to someone doing true teshuva - a past negative now becomes like a merit. Something negative can happen but when that is a...
213. Acharei: Feel Doomed? Dig In & Don't Run

This incredible Sicha addresses when we want to run away from the world and we feel doomed to mess up.
Chelek Chof Zayin pg 116.
This incredible Sicha addresses when we want to run away from the world and we feel doomed to mess up.
The Torah waits until Parshas Acharei to teach the lesson from the deaths of Nadav and Avihu, that we need to stay in this world, and not just get enveloped in the spiritual one. Many parshios we have discussed the beauty, the mishkan...

Farbrengen Chof Beis Shvat Kinus

Join our farbrengen!
This past Chof Beis Shvat Fruma Schapiro & Etty Schwartz hosted a Farbrengen late Motzei Shabbos at the Kinus. With permission, it was recorded. Obviously totally different than our weekly sichos, this farbrengen centered around the impact of learning the Rebbe's Chassidus regularly - the slow "drip, drip, drip" that shifts your mindset, heart, and ultimately - life - from the inside out.
Mrs. Schapiro broke down 4 main ideas from the Rebbe & centered the Farbrengen around these:
* never give up
*it's all there already, just needs...
52. Shmini: Rules & No Rules

*P’ Shmini - “A Balanced Perspective”*
When dealing with others,
we can uphold *truth* while being *Kind,*
*what’s right* while keeping the *Peace.*
“The first rule in chinuch is that there are no rules…”
210. Acharon Shel Pesach Geulah Times!

As we go into the final days of Pesach, the Geulah days, we dive into Rambams approach to the coming of Moshiach being "within nature". The Rambam explains that the core of Geulah is a natural world in which every Jew can fully live in alignment with Torah & mitzvos, deeply connected to Hashem. The Rebbe explains this as 2 stages of Moshiach. 1st stage - natural, 2nd stage - all the "extras" miracles! Miracles are not the essence, they are add ons, expressions of our incredible closeness with Hashem. (think wedding - covid times, we got the "essence" of the...

50. Vayikra: Humility & Greatness

"Empowering & beautiful sicha! Chinuch for ourselves ~ how do we view ourselves? How do we view others? Through a conversation with the Tzemach Tzedek & the Alter Rebbe, our Rebbe highlights an integral message Torah is telling us - Adam is written with a big Alef, even after the ""Chait Eitz Hadaas"" - because of his G-d given incredible greatness, essential to him, unmarred by his mistakes. In Vayikra, the alef is written in small - telling us of Moshes humility. Moshe KNEW of his greatness - did not let it ""get to his head"" and he seeked to compare himself...
