DARKNESS IMPLODING
Darkness implodes into light. * T’filla, d’veikus to Hashem, is a frequency that transcends conflict. * The ultimate peace of Moshiach, Prince of Peace.

“All a man’s provisions are allotted for him from Rosh HaShana until Yom HaKippurim” * The Aron did not occupy any space; its measure did not count. The funny thing is that the measurements of the Aron are very precise, 1.5 x 2.5 cubits – yet it took up no space?!
“The theme of the year” is a concept invented by modern society. The idea that a certain year is dedicated to a certain value can be viewed as running contrary to the Torah’s approach in which whatever is important is important always. Yet, everything a Jew observes must teach him a lesson in serving Hashem.
An answer from the Rebbe to a Pan from before Rosh Hashana regarding publicizing words of inspiration for Yiras Shamayim by influential people:
A collection of relevant halachos regarding Selichos in connection to the month of Elul, from AskTheRav.com & Halacha2Go.com.
Chassidim throughout the generations would compare the Rebbe’s beis midrash to the Beis HaMikdash, so what did the Rebbe innovate with the kuntres “Beis Rabbeinu Sh’B’Bavel?” * How can one compare the revelation of the Sh’china in a shul in which dozens of people daven to the holiness and presence of the Sh’china in the Mikdash in Yerushalayim where all the Jewish people gathered?
We are currently in the last few days of the month of Elul. It is the month that the “king is in the field” and we can approach and ask for whatever we want. It is at this point that we must always realize what our priorities are.
The Rebbe shlita arranges his shofaros in a special order and afterward spreads his tallis over all of the pidyonos placed in front of him. A quiet sobbing voice can be heard coming from under the tallis. The leader of the Jewish people and its faithful shepherd stands on the day of the birth of the world, his pleading voice requesting a good and sweet year for each and every Jew.
“The black one is too hoarse,” said Feivish, sounding worried. “On the other hand, the yellowish one is too old and is no longer like the old days,” rejoined Simcha.
“Sholom, are you coming with me?” Levi asked in a whisper. “It will be fine. When the commander is not paying attention, we’ll leave …”
As we finished the year of Hakhel 5776 and entered 5777, I would like to share some thoughts on the new year.
One year, M. Gilon spent Rosh HaShana with the Rebbe and he wrote his impressions about the moments of t’kias shofar from his perspective
