The first thing to consider is whether or not the world is even worth conquering. I mean, take a look around. This place is totally chaotic. People spend most of their time eating each other alive, and the rest of the time ignoring one another.
R’ Levi Yitzchok washed his hands, said the “asher yotzar” bracha, and when he finished with the words, “Healer of all flesh who does wonders,” he repeated these words and the girl was healed. * A compilation of Chassidishe stories on the topic of the power of tzaddikim.
The life and work of Rabbi Zalman Shimon Dworkin a”h, the Mara d’Asra of Crown Heights * The one whom the Rebbe called, “My Mara d’Asra.” * To commemorate his passing on 17 Adar 5745/1985.
R’ Eliyahu a”h constantly emphasized the importance of work. He himself went to the slaughterhouse every day early in the morning. By 8:00 he was already on his way to the next slaughterhouse and he worked even in his 87th year. When he was already suffering from Parkinson’s he still went abroad as a mashgiach.
It is precisely in that “location” where the Jew finds himself in the lowest of places, at the very nadir of his or her life, that G-d says: “this is precisely the place in which I would like to dwell!”
What is a “Chassidic Shabbos” and why isn’t it enough just to “observe the Shabbos”? To answer this and other questions, we turned to Rabbi Asher Gershovitz, rosh mesivta and mashpia of Yeshivas Chassidei Chabad in Tzfas.

However, if they have difficulty understanding it, then, when a child asks a question to his teacher and the teacher doesn’t know what to answer, he slaps him on the face and tells him: “when you grow up, you’ll understand!” So you should answer the Jew who asks questions: This is the fact, even if you don’t understand!
Fortunately for him, he was not allowed to say anything, which prevented him from further embarrassment…
The only options are to freak out and get overwhelmed by all the hatred, or to put it in perspective and laugh at the mongrels who spew it.
They claim that they want to draft the ultra-Orthodox in order to save the country, to increase the level of partnership, to enable all to join in bearing the national burden, and to prevent the Chareidi sector from being cut off from Israeli society. However, the truth is that they only want to draft the ultra-Orthodox out of a desire to show them who’s the boss.
Moshiach will judge by using his sense of smell. This is a metaphor for his ability to “sniff out” any miscarriage of justice. Moshiach will be endowed with Divine Inspiration that will guarantee the integrity of justice.
“Without hesitation, I put my hand in my pocket, knowing that if the master said I should give money, then I had money to give. I found two gold coins in my pocket. That’s emuna!”
