Chassidishe Gashmius

Action is what’s most important! We ought to use out these auspicious days of Tes and Yud Kislev, which the number ten is always holy, to hasten the Geulah, that it should become a reality. Especially, in adding in giving Tzedakah, because there is no better way to hasten the Geulah!

In simple words, this means practically, since everything is ready for the Geulah we need to just reveal it. First and foremost by that which is relevant today, on the birthday and Yartzeit of the Mitteler Rebbe, adding and learning his Torah, which is in the full length and breadth of understanding. This learning should be relevant to every Yid, men and women alike, as mentioned a number of times, that spreading Chassidus is relevant to women and girls as well.

Learning is great because it brings to action! Everyone should make an effort to express their Ruchnius and Chassidishkeit in their Gashmius. This means that in all of their physical behaviors, in physical time and place, should be felt the warmth and energy that flows from Yiddishkeit to Chassidishkeit, to the extent that there should be no separation to them at all, until they fuse and become one.

In addition to this, everyone should see to it to arrange a Farbrengen in every single place, beginning with the Chag HaGeulah of Yud Kislev. During the Farbrengen they should learn some of the Torah of the Mitteler Rebbe and to take upon good Hachlatos, especially learning Inyonei Geulah and Moshiach to prepare oneself and those around them for the Geulah Shleima. May it be Hashem’s will, that from all of the above, immediately we should have the revelation of the Geulah!

COLLive: Who Was Behind Media Campaign

After 40 years, family members reveal the identity that stood behind the hundreds of large and bold ads that appeared in newspapers for decades announcing the Rebbe’s farbrengens.

In honor of 12-13 tammuz, family members reveal the identity that stood behind the hundreds of large and bold ads that appeared in newspapers for decades announcing the Rebbe’s weekday farbrengens.

COLLive: Rabbi Menachem Blau, 70, OBM

Rabbi Blau was born in Shanghai to Rabbi Moshe Yehuda and Chaya Hena Blau. His father served as a Rav in Boro Park and was most famous for his magnum opus the 40-volume Shitas Hakadmonim. His mother was a daughter of Reb Meir Shmaryahu Schochet.

Rabbi Menachem M. Blau invested himself for nearly 50 years in spreading the Rebbe’s teachings beyond Lubavitch. To this end he spared no effort including endeavors such as the weekly Torah Gedanken column which he prepared for the Algemeiner.

Yud Bais Tammuz is a day to gather and take on Hachlatos

The Frierdiker Rebbe instructed that the day of his liberation should become established as a day of Farbrengen – gathering for the strengthening of Torah and Yiddishkeit in every area.

We should ensure that in every area around the globe there should be a hakhel gathering where we think about what we have accomplished in the last year and what we will do this year to strengthen Yiddishkeit, Torah and Mitzvos, and spreading the wellsprings of Chassidus.

It is a mitzvah for this message to be spread in every place we can reach and it will certainly have a positive effect.

This will enable us to complete our mission in golus and automatically usher in the Geulah, when the scheduled fast of 17 Tammuz will be converted into a day of true celebration.

Hachlatos related to 12-13 Tammuz will hasten the Geulah

The special days of 12-13 Tammuz are approaching, when we celebrate the release and liberation of the Frierdiker Rebbe from exile in 1927.

We must inspire ourselves and influence our surroundings to make the appropriate preparations for the celebrations of this day. Gatherings should be established in every place with a special emphasis on undertaking new resolutions to add strength and vitality to all areas of Yiddishkeit, Torah & Mitzvos. And especially to spread the wellsprings of Chassidus, starting with the addition of public Torah Shiurim.

The conversations and resolutions in connection with the Geula of 12-13 Tammuz, will hasten and bring about the complete and ultimate Geula!

The month of Tammuz is an auspicious time for us to hasten the Geulah!

The Frierdiker Rebbe’s primary goal was to hasten the Geulah, as he famously announced in the “Kol Korei” publication: “Immediate Teshuvah (will bring about) Immediate Geulah”.

It is clear that Tammuz, being the month of the “Geulah” of a Rebbe, who personified hastening the “Geulah”, is an auspicious time that prepares us, and empowers us to bring about the Geulah today! Even today the Rebbe remains active through us and within us!
The objective now is to focus our energy primarily with actions that have the intended goal & purpose to hasten the Geuah – Now!
