Over the course of time, the Rebbe reconnects “the rope of his soul,” rejoining even the individual strands that had been severed. How much more so does the Rebbe have an impact on those who reflect the positive aspect of “amo” (as above Section 5), helping them attain a state whereby the ruach shtus is unable to cover over the truth, etc.
We’ve already established that Yisro connotes to not rest on our laurels. What is the difference between the Yeser stage of his life and the Yisro stage? Both stages involve adding on; in the case of Yeser it is contributing a section of the Torah and in the case of Yisro it involved converting to Judaism.

Every year, on 19 Shevat, the descendants of the Shpoler Zeide (1724-1811) get together for a Melaveh Malka to mark the day of his amazing salvation. * We present stories and references in Chabad literature to R’ Aryeh Leib zt”l, known as the Shpoler Zeide.

While the latter supports terrorist violence to this very day, the former continues to grant it nominal status as a peace-loving human rights organization.
Presented for Chaf-Beis Shevat, the day Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka a”h passed away.
Erev Shabbos Chanuka in Eilat. As the number of people putting on t’fillin at the seashore shopping center exceeded one hundred and fifty(!), the T’mimim at the mivtzaim stand never imagined that there would be more and bigger surprises in store for them. A man with hair down to his shoulders and a cross around his neck took the stand. The questions he started asking came as an even greater surprise. How would the story end?
