The two acrobats, Yaakov and Yisroel Gurion, are a set of twins who are quite popular in the frum world. * With frequent performances and a series of successful videos for children, the “Twins from France” is one of the most popular shows. * We spoke with the twins and between bursts of laughter we managed to hear from them what goes on behind the scenes.
Out the window could be seen hills, valleys and mountains. The long train made its way toward Kremenchug, the big city near Lubavitch.
The lesson from this applies to one who encounters a Jew and sees in him something lowly and unbecoming, G-d forbid, seeing him as an outcast, not worthy to be among the encampment of the Jewish people, G-d forbid. In that situation, the Torah states that prior to rendering this ruling upon another Jew, even a great sage must first make a proper self-assessment of where is he holding in kindness and love of a fellow Jew. * Likkutei Sichos Vol. 27, pg. 88-91
Don’t bereaved parents or orphans truly look forward to Moshiach’s coming and T’chiyas HaMeisim? Aren’t people suffering from serious illnesses looking expectantly to the Geula to heal them from their illnesses? * And yet, the Rebbe meant what he said and there is no doubt that if someone truly wanted it, we would already have the Geula. * We spoke with Rabbi Zushe Silberstein, shliach in Montreal, to try and come up with a plan, and understand what we are missing so that we can truly ask for Moshiach.
A chassid cannot deny the Rebbe’s pronouncement that he is the Moshiach of this generation. Gimmel Tammuz changes nothing. As for those who react according to what the physical realm shows us, know this: Moshiach can arrive through the Resurrection of the Dead. * Chapter Fifteen of Rabbi Shloma Majeski’s Likkutei Mekoros, Volume 2. (Underlined text is the compiler’s emphasis.)
R’ Yosef Mendelevitch is one of the famous Prisoners of Zion from the historic struggle on behalf of Soviet Jewry. He and his colleagues planned to hijack an airliner and use it to escape from Russia. However, the KGB was already waiting for them inside the plane… In an interview with Beis Moshiach, R’ Yosef describes those difficult days when he sat in solitary confinement on a two-month long hunger strike, and the unexpected miracle that occurred in the Rebbe’s merit. He also tells about the gift that the Rebbe sent him, arriving at exactly the right time: “The Rebbe instructed me to tell about what I went through, being an example and a symbol for other Jews. Since then, I work on the Rebbe’s shlichus.” An amazing story.
One of the most enigmatic laws found in the Torah is “Tzaraas HaBayis-house affliction.” Similar to a skin lesion on a human body, discoloration of the house was a sign of ritual impurity and required examination by a Kohen-priest.
Rabbi Ariel Antebi and his wife, Rivka, devotedly run a Chabad House in Santana, a district of S Paulo, Brazil. * Their Chabad House serves as the headquarters for numerous Jewish tourists who pass through the area.
There are many inspiring days throughout the year. This is especially true if you add all the Chassidishe dates that we celebrate, of which B”H there are many. Yet there is one date in the calendar that serves as a wake-up call out of our reverie and the comfortable exile mentality: the 28th of Nissan.
Presented to mark Beis Iyar, the birthday of the Rebbe Maharash.
There are absolutely no limits to the feeling of z’rizus, excitement and enthusiasm that gives rise to a constant spiritual state of alacrity. * The above should inspire us to action. First off, to publicize that we are presently in “the end of days,” “eis keitz,” during which time, “Many shall refine themselves and make themselves white, and be purified…”
“You should not leave the entrance of the Tent of Meeting for seven days until the concluding day of your days of inauguration… You should stay at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting day and night for seven days, and must guard your appointed duty to G-d…”
Throughout the year, Rabbi Eliezer Krugliak is a teacher in Oholei Torah in Kfar Chabad. But when Pesach approaches, he becomes a dynamic shliach, campaigner, publicist and producer, with one goal: to bring the Moshiach seuda to every Jewish home. * In an interview with Beis Moshiach, R’ Krugliak tells how it all began, about the first Moshiach seuda, about a simple way to get people to fulfill this custom, about the Rebbe’s approach to strengthening this mivtza, and why specifically a Moshiach seuda. * Also, about a moving Moshiach seuda in the heart of the inferno in Jenin.
