It is not enough that one’s rededication to Torah study pertains to himself; he should also inspire others – [as we are enjoined] “accumulate many students.” This especially includes a renewal and addition in the study and dissemination of the inner dimension of the Torah, which has been illuminated by the teachings of Chassidus
In the morning, the Chassid with the white beard prepares young students for their degrees as one of the outstanding lecturers on history and geography in an exclusive college in Paris. In the afternoon, he mans a t’fillin stand in the Jewish quarter and calls out to passersby. In the evening, he is a popular speaker on Judaism and Chassidus for university students and at Chabad houses. * Meet Rabbi Yisroel Goldberg, father of 16, from Brunoy, the man behind the picture with the king of Morocco which captivated the worldwide media this past Erev Pesach. * In a conversation with Beis Moshiach, he talks nostalgically about the early days, how the king reacted when he heard the famous Lubavitch call and also, what caused the picture to go viral.
He was a loyal soldier of the Rebbe and presented himself wherever he was needed: kibbutzim, yishuvim, before religious groups and in front of people from the HaShomer HaTzair kibbutzim. Wherever he went, he brought the word of G-d and Chassidus with magnificent, sweet words and as a dignified role model. * Moreh Tzvi was a role model for thousands of students over many decades who miss his warm voice and special way of relating to them. * We are saddened by the loss of the Chassid, R’ Tzvi Greenwald, a”h, the man who captivated thousands of hearts.
The parsha Naso, which follows the Festival of Shavuos, distinguishes itself as the longest parsha in the Torah, comprising no fewer than 176 verses.
Fraidy Orgad (Romania), Mushka Lerner (Eretz Yisroel), Yocheved Raskin (Uganda): three young shluchos describe their early days on shlichus, which were not particularly inviting nor a bed of roses, and share the challenges they dealt with and the surprising insights they have come to. * A peek into the early days of small shlichus positions
Sixty-one years ago, when he was still a bachur, the Rebbe farbrenged in his honor and gave him a special educational mission. Since then, he has been involved in chinuch. * For Shavuos, we interviewed Rabbi Zushe Posner about chinuch. He spoke in his usual direct, penetrating manner, with his focus on one point, the Rebbe. This is the point around which he lives and operates. He is not inclined to employ clever verbiage or verbal contortions to please his listeners. He believes that goodness and blessing will come from truth and that truth will sprout from the simplest, most basic of places. * “Our children will be our guarantors.” * Part 2 of 2
Before the Yidden received the Torah, the Torah tells us that the Jewish people came to Har Sinai and “Va’yichan sham Yisroel neged ha’har – He rested there opposite the mountain.”
