May her children and family experience much nechama and brocha! Areas when I think “Why is this happening to me?” “Why did I get myself into this mess?” Lessons from Rashi & The Bigdei Kehuna …Everything is there to teach you in avodas hashem, but in this case, Rashi got into a more messy situation! Rashi was in a situation that he wished hadn’t happened! What do I do with something like this that I can still bring this into my Avodas Hashem? It takes your heart. Your yechida rests in your heart. No experience in the world can blacken the yechida. Even those things that seem to be opposite of the Torah! To be able to take a negative experience and transform it - this power you get from your heart! Only with your heart, your yechida, can you go through a situation where you see something or experience something that you really did not want to. And then you can find the powerful light within the darkness - here it gave Rashi understanding of the Kohen’s Clothing, the Eifod! “Why do i have to have this shmutz in my life?!” Everything is from Hashem You have to be bothered by it, it’s healthy! This experience will push you to a place that brings honor to Hashem! A moment that feels painful - what’s the purpose of this mess? Everything is for a purpose! Listen to your yechida, and find a space that you can elevate & honor Hashem - and ultimately see the light that comes out from this golus, with Moshiach! Chelek Chof Vov page 191

107. Ki Sisa - Broken Luchos, Whole Self

Mar 12, 2025

20:24

Ki Sisa, Chelek Chof Vov, page 248 Whats good about being broken? Moshe broke the Luchos and Hashem said "yasher koach!" Hashem agreed with Moshe and praised him. The yidden served the eigel, Moshe saved the honor of the Torah, etc - this could make sense, but the Rebbe says - no! Its not enough! Moshe could have just hid the luchos (toss into the ocean :)) - why specifically break them? There is something praiseworthy of broken luchos. We see that Moshe was sad about it and Hashem comforted him - the second set of luchos came along with Torah She'baal Peh too! With more, expansion! The 2nd set was an upgrade! And Moshe was praised after the 2nd set was given. The broken luchos made space for something bigger. Breaking the luchos in front of the yidden, broke us open allowing us to be open to Hashem, open to a bigger, better, expanded future. So is being broken the way to go? NO! The secret of the luchos 1 & 2 - broken & whole - is where they were kept - together, in the Aron! The Aron had measurements, yet took no space - the holding of 2 opposites together. Just like we should bring the 2 opposites of broken luchos & whole luchos together. We each have an aron in our hearts and are empowered to live with these 2 aspects together: broken, allowing the space for Hashem in, and whole - being myself fully invested with all my strengths and full self (not a robot). And from the broken moments, we can grow and double and redouble accomplishments! "Why does Hashem break us?" We should have Moshiach NOW and then we can see the greatness of the journey!

50. Vayikra: Humility & Greatness

Mar 31, 2025

25:45

"Empowering & beautiful sicha! Chinuch for ourselves ~ how do we view ourselves? How do we view others? Through a conversation with the Tzemach Tzedek & the Alter Rebbe, our Rebbe highlights an integral message Torah is telling us - Adam is written with a big Alef, even after the ""Chait Eitz Hadaas"" - because of his G-d given incredible greatness, essential to him, unmarred by his mistakes. In Vayikra, the alef is written in small - telling us of Moshes humility. Moshe KNEW of his greatness - did not let it ""get to his head"" and he seeked to compare himself to others, and note of their greatness. This is not just a simple piece, its a direct Chinuch Answer from A""R to T""T ~ and a DIRECTION for each of us! (Adam in Us) We must have an honest awareness of our essential greatness! We are a piece of Hashem! We must know our abilities and inherent greatness, regardless of our mistakes or our past. (Moshe in Us) And yet, we must understand that greatness can be a ""trip up"". We remain humble and understand the bigger picture, being able to make proper choices in life. #1 Ingrain in yourself that your talent is a GIFT, I didnt make it, I only choose what to DO with it. and #2: Seek out the greatness in others! Get to know how incredible you are and then tap into it! Right now - you have the big Alef ~ you can rise above! you can accomplish! Regardless of my previous habits, past, etc. And look at others and realize, if someone else had these gifts, they could use it better. Look at others & seek out their greatness, talent and beauty!"

The 5th cup is not like the 4. It is reliant on you having reached this high level of Avodah (very likely not so attainable). I am not that great & won’t really be able to reach such a level at my seder, but we are the Rebbe’s generation!!! We don’t do the 5th cup, we do Eliyahu Hanavis Cup! We enjoy our Seder ready to greet Moshiach! With our unlocked doors we welcome Eliyahu in & we are so ready to run outside to greet Moshiach! This Eliyahu’s cup is worthy for every Jewish home! It is connected to the deep Emunah we have that Moshiach is coming!

210. Acharon Shel Pesach Geulah Times!

Apr 18, 2025

34:20

As we go into the final days of Pesach, the Geulah days, we dive into Rambams approach to the coming of Moshiach being "within nature". The Rambam explains that the core of Geulah is a natural world in which every Jew can fully live in alignment with Torah & mitzvos, deeply connected to Hashem. The Rebbe explains this as 2 stages of Moshiach. 1st stage - natural, 2nd stage - all the "extras" miracles! Miracles are not the essence, they are add ons, expressions of our incredible closeness with Hashem. (think wedding - covid times, we got the "essence" of the weddings - the bride, groom, and chuppah, vs regular times - with all add ons, dont lose sight of the essence). In the two stages of Geulah, the first is a natural reality where Moshiach empowers us to connect to Hashem in this world, and the second is a miraculous enhancement. But if we are zoche, if we live as our best selves today, those miracles can begin immediately. The Rebbe empowers us to believe in our own greatness and to break past our limits—this is really a miracle! Transcending nature. Through this, we will merit to see the full revelation of Moshiach and Hashem’s open miracles, beginning now. Chelek Chof Zayin pg 191

Join our farbrengen! This past Chof Beis Shvat Fruma Schapiro & Etty Schwartz hosted a Farbrengen late Motzei Shabbos at the Kinus. With permission, it was recorded. Obviously totally different than our weekly sichos, this farbrengen centered around the impact of learning the Rebbe's Chassidus regularly - the slow "drip, drip, drip" that shifts your mindset, heart, and ultimately - life - from the inside out. Mrs. Schapiro broke down 4 main ideas from the Rebbe & centered the Farbrengen around these: * never give up *it's all there already, just needs to be revealed, not created *being joyous is not optional and it's not for you. Its for Hashem. (chof beis shvat, nun beis) *Ahavas Hashem is Ahavas Yisroel Join the Weekly Chassidus Whatsapp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/JRYOAZ9tWIHLInCHjst8m0 Any thoughts to share?

57. Emor: Highlight Zchusim, Shlomis bas Divri

May 13, 2025

26:56

Parshas Emor, Likkutei Sichos lamed zayin, page 67 This sicha dives into Torah's mention of Shlomis bas Divri and her illicit relationship with an Egyptian man. Rashi tells us this is mentioned to praise the yidden that this was the only time this happened, and that there were no arayos within the yidden at this time. But still, why would Torah use this negative instance to highlight a positive praise of the yidden? This can be compared to someone doing true teshuva - a past negative now becomes like a merit. Something negative can happen but when that is a growth point, a springboard for positive growth & action, then the negative thing takes on positive purpose. In todays time this is a way that we can even elevate shalosh klipas hatamayus. If a person does such great teshuva that his past actions become now true zchusim, then this elevates the past klipah. There is no such thing as a lost case. We are in golus, people make mistakes, so then what? We dont give up, we use it a springboard for teshuva, and this uplifts the past. Looking back, there is purpose for the difficult or negative things someone may end up involved in - moving forward, we use it to grow even closer to Hashem, even more kedusha. And when we look at someone else, we dont write them off, our job is to highlight the good, take that persons negative story and highlight the zchusim in it.

8. Emor: Pintele Yid Chinuch

May 14, 2025

37:58

“The basis of chinuch is that all the child’s needs are being met - physical, emotional, spiritual.” “Educating children and influencing others brings you personal redemption." This sicha spoke about "pintele yid chinuch" A comment from when we first discussed it " i was listening to the part abt holding high standards like the kohen even when the child doesn’t understand and doesn’t want that. Today one of my students shared a story abt the group that was brought after the Chernobyl disaster to kfar Chabad. The organizers were concerned abt a huge group of girls that came with their own clothing. Should they have standards of tznius? The Rebbe answered that the standard should be high to the level of the community. But they should buy the girls really nice clothing. Thought that was a nice example of this type of chinuch. Going for the high standard but making it something that works for this child."

This week's learning is sponsored by a listener in honor of the Hayom Yom of 9 Tammuz : "All Jewish parents who need to have a special salvation and help for their children, the surest way is to support Torah learners." May we all experience true yiddishe nachas! And this week's learning is in honor of the holy Head Shliach of Florida, Rabbi Avremel Korf, who passed away Monday Night on Yud Beis Tammuz. A shliach who turned swamp land into a vibrant Jewish State. As I heard in a story he said "I am the Rebbes representative in Florida. And as the Rebbe's shliach, I must welcome and accept every Jew with sever panim yafos". This feels apropros to this weeks sicha. Chelek Chof Ches pg 149. Perspective on the players in my life is the key to gratitude. - put my energy into "what is Hashem telling me here" - this person has no power - this all happened for me, to put me on a mission, to bring to me to do something bigger - "a yid never makes me uncomfortable!" - be rid of the 'sin' not the person who did it - if shalosh klipos tamayos: if enemy is no longer needed, he'll disappear - i work for Hashem - what does Hashem want from me in this experience?

"Sicha #174: *Parshas Matos-Maasei,* Chelek Chof Gimmul page 214. My body's experience and ability is the deepest expression of Hashem’s power. Menachem Av - We bring our father comfort. This week's learning sponsored by 3 individuals! *Chaya Musha bas Devorah Leah* & *Henna Shomer* both in honor of their Yom Huledes - May this learning be a zchus for a shnas bracha, ad bli dai!!* Thank you for choosing these sichos as your birthday gift! Learning sponsored also by *Susan Shapiro* in honor of the yahrtzeit of her mother (my Safta!) *Basya bas Nessa*. May her neshama have an aliyah and endless nachas! Want to get in on sponsoring? PM me! *Sicha Summary Notes* Ever had a moment where you were really *stuck* in your own challenge? In this month of Menachem Av, we comfort Hashem for the pain He is in. There are 2 dimensions of Hashem’s pain of being in golus 1. *Shchina is with the yidden in Golus.* When we experience our Geulah it is Hashem’s Geulah. Our neshamos are always Godly, no choice there, but our bodies - that dont reflect godliness, those Hashem chose! When we are physically (body) in golus, so is Hashem. 2. Like a king who said to his servants, if you are looking for me, *I am going to be next to my son.* What is deeper about this that is being added? Differentiation! Jewish Mothers - *we get it!* Where my kid is, that's where Ill be. *2 different situations* The father feels obvious cherishing of the child, bringing nachas! Warm fuzzy feeling, my delicious child, i'm with them! - neshama part of the yid, *nachas producer* , neshama is never affected by the golus Rebbe adding! This is also true when it comes to the body. The body does NOT show Hashem. It looks just as coarse as other bodies. Mashal - if you are looking for me, I am going to be with my son. Ya this is my kid, i go with him everywhere he is at. *Hashem is with us in our tumah* . *Essential connection* Only in the Jewish Body (vs soul) do you see the connection of Hashems essence. I'm with my kid. Period. Hashem is ALWAYS with us. Menachem Av - Hashem is here as the father to his child. Level 1 nachas connection - *neshama experience* Level 2 essential connection - *body experience* Taking this even deeper... We also suffer loss, How can we comfort Hashem? The greatness of what the child can do > parents Like a blue eyed child born from brown eyed parents, the child reveals a recessive gene his parents have, but did not display. You have incredible power! Show up with all the emunah, all the positivity - WOW! This was always there in Hashem but not expressed until a Yid does this. We have the ability through our physical struggles, we are bringing out a koiach always there in Hashem - that had not yet been brought out. *All of us showing up in Mitzvos, Torah, we are bringing out Hashems “recessive DNA”. there is no such thing as a ME struggle - don't ever feel alone, you are Hashems essence being expressed*. Feel empowered! We can define the golus, tap into incredible koiach, Hashems essence pumping through us. Shift to new approach: Moshiach!"

237. Noach: Daven, Dont Give Up on Anyone!

Oct 24, 2025

32:08

Chelek Chof Hey, page 19: Dont give up on anyone This sicha learning is in zchus of a Refuah Sheleima for Levi HaLevi ben Leah! In this week’s sicha the Rebbe explores why Noach didn’t daven for his generation as Moshe later did. Reb Yehuda explains that this wasn’t Noach’s fault, he simply lived before the Avos, whose merit empowered Moshe’s prayers. Reb Yitzchak, however, argues that even without those merits, Noach still should have prayed for others; somehow, he could have found a way to arouse mercy for his generation. Reb Levik explains that these two views reflect their inner traits: Reb Yehuda’s chessed versus Reb Yitzchak’s gevurah. We know dan l’kaf zechus- judging others favorably - isn’t only for those with a kind nature; it’s a rule for every Jew, no matter their temperament. The discussion parallels Rashi’s comment on “Noach ish tzadik bedorosav” - was Noach righteous only in his generation or would he have been even greater among true tzadikim? If the Torah prefers positive language, why mention a possible negative? The Rebbe explains that when Torah describes a person, it always uses positive language, but when it teaches a lesson, clarity takes priority - even if it sounds critical. Guidelines must be clear. Here the Torah isn’t telling us biographical details about Noach, but giving us guidance: to learn from Noach’s limits, not to imitate them. Noach did the best he could in his generation, but for us the lesson is not to stop at “I did my part.” Like Reb Yitzchak emphasizes, we must never give up on anyone; even when a situation seems hopeless, we can, and must, continue to daven and reach out. This teaching carries powerful relevance today. Sometimes we feel we’ve tried everything to inspire others or fix a situation, and we tell ourselves it’s out of our hands. But the Rebbe reminds us: don’t stop praying, don’t stop believing, and don’t stop caring. The very act of staying committed brings divine mercy and opens new channels of blessing. Just as Moshe, a man of emes, wanted us to follow in Aharon’s ways of peace, we can “do Noach a favor” by learning from his story and choosing differently - never giving up on a fellow Jew, always believing in the possibility of change, and bringing closer the time when “no Jew will ever be lost again.”

57. Emor: Highlight Zchusim, Shlomis bas Divri

May 15, 2019

26:56

Parshas Emor, Likkutei Sichos lamed zayin, page 67 This sicha dives into Torah's mention of Shlomis bas Divri and her illicit relationship with an Egyptian man. Rashi tells us this is mentioned to praise the yidden that this was the only time this happened, and that there were no arayos within the yidden at this time. But still, why would Torah use this negative instance to highlight a positive praise of the yidden? This can be compared to someone doing true teshuva - a past negative now becomes like a merit. Something negative can happen but when that is a growth point, a springboard for positive growth & action, then the negative thing takes on positive purpose. In todays time this is a way that we can even elevate shalosh klipas hatamayus. If a person does such great teshuva that his past actions become now true zchusim, then this elevates the past klipah. There is no such thing as a lost case. We are in golus, people make mistakes, so then what? We dont give up, we use it a springboard for teshuva, and this uplifts the past. Looking back, there is purpose for the difficult or negative things someone may end up involved in - moving forward, we use it to grow even closer to Hashem, even more kedusha. And when we look at someone else, we dont write them off, our job is to highlight the good, take that persons negative story and highlight the zchusim in it.

50. Vayikra: Humility & Greatness

Mar 13, 2019

25:45

"Empowering & beautiful sicha! Chinuch for ourselves ~ how do we view ourselves? How do we view others? Through a conversation with the Tzemach Tzedek & the Alter Rebbe, our Rebbe highlights an integral message Torah is telling us - Adam is written with a big Alef, even after the ""Chait Eitz Hadaas"" - because of his G-d given incredible greatness, essential to him, unmarred by his mistakes. In Vayikra, the alef is written in small - telling us of Moshes humility. Moshe KNEW of his greatness - did not let it ""get to his head"" and he seeked to compare himself to others, and note of their greatness. This is not just a simple piece, its a direct Chinuch Answer from A""R to T""T ~ and a DIRECTION for each of us! (Adam in Us) We must have an honest awareness of our essential greatness! We are a piece of Hashem! We must know our abilities and inherent greatness, regardless of our mistakes or our past. (Moshe in Us) And yet, we must understand that greatness can be a ""trip up"". We remain humble and understand the bigger picture, being able to make proper choices in life. #1 Ingrain in yourself that your talent is a GIFT, I didnt make it, I only choose what to DO with it. and #2: Seek out the greatness in others! Get to know how incredible you are and then tap into it! Right now - you have the big Alef ~ you can rise above! you can accomplish! Regardless of my previous habits, past, etc. And look at others and realize, if someone else had these gifts, they could use it better. Look at others & seek out their greatness, talent and beauty!"

“The basis of chinuch is that all the child’s needs are being met - physical, emotional, spiritual.” “Educating children and influencing others brings you personal redemption." This sicha spoke about "pintele yid chinuch" A comment from when we first discussed it " i was listening to the part abt holding high standards like the kohen even when the child doesn’t understand and doesn’t want that. Today one of my students shared a story abt the group that was brought after the Chernobyl disaster to kfar Chabad. The organizers were concerned abt a huge group of girls that came with their own clothing. Should they have standards of tznius? The Rebbe answered that the standard should be high to the level of the community. But they should buy the girls really nice clothing. Thought that was a nice example of this type of chinuch. Going for the high standard but making it something that works for this child."

35. Vayishlach: Yud Daled Kislev

Nov 21, 2018

34:37

We are celebrating the Rebbe & Rebbetzins 90th Wedding Anniversary! In this Sicha we learn about the Teshuva accomplished by a wedding, based off the wedding of Esav to Yishmae'ls daughter. Like Yom Kippur, a wedding brings Kaparah through either a) the marriage itself b) the wedding inspires the person to do Teshuva or c) the specialness of the Mitzvah/Moment motivates you. The Torah uses Esav's wedding to teach us about Teshuva - Esav is not perfect by any means, but he is a Yid and the wedding sparks our neshamos, all of us - no matter our level. We can use the koach of 14 Kislev to apply this to us in our daily avodah. Marriage between man & woman has a purpose of Peru Urevu. Marriage of Hashem and Yidden has a purpose of Torah, Mitzvos. When you teach someone to do a mitzvah, mekarev another with coming closer to Torah, Mitzvos or Yidden, these are peiros of peru urevu. We live now in disorderly times, the world is crazy - if something comes your way - just grab it! (ie Dorm Food Mentality). "A chassid is like a soccer player, if the ball comes your way, you gotta kick it!" We have to save neshamos! I commit. Hashem kicks in. My commitment = wedding day. This commitment = uplifts, give koach, enables me to be more committed. This brings a cycle of Koach! But I might think: what about me, im not great enough..im really low - your past doesnt matter (Esav)! I make it my business to commit to Hashems work and the Rebbes directives of doing my shlichus, and Hashem will uplift and empower! And this will bring about the complete marriage between Hashem & the Yidden with Moshiach!

Simcha Yerachmiel ben R. Mordechai Shachneh Zirkind, on his 11th yahrtzeit, 24 Tammuz.The upcoming yahrtzeit of Rabbi Vichnin, a beloved and inspiring mechanech, on 26 Tammuz. The Rebbe teaches that the territory east of the Jordan can represent either a compromise with exile or the beginning of redemption. Gad and Reuven chose it for material reasons, but Menashe received it from Moshe as part of Hashem’s plan to extend the holiness of Eretz Yisrael and prepare for the ultimate expansion of its borders in the era of Moshiach. The key is attitude: a Jew may be sent beyond familiar boundaries on a holy mission, yet must never lose the deep love for Eretz Yisrael or become settled in golus. Like Menashe, we are called to remember our true home, reject the mentality of exile, and use every place we find ourselves to advance Moshe’s vision and bring the Geulah closer.

While the Leviim transported all the holy objects, the Aron had a unique requirement: “upon the shoulder they shall carry it.” The Rambam brings the story of Dovid and Uzah not as history, but as halacha, the Aron itself requires a specific place. Because it contains the Luchos and a Sefer Torah, its place is to be carriedon the shoulders, close to your heart.. Similarly, a Sefer Torah always has a place it belongs: in the Aron Kodesh in shul, and close to one’s heart during travel. In Chassidus, the Luchos represent a revelation of “Hashem’s face”, a direct pnimiyus connection created through Torah. This is the deeper meaning of facing the Aron while carrying it: where a person’s focus, identity, and geshmak truly lie. As we come from Shavuos and approach Gimmel Tammuz, the avodah is to keep our “faces” turned toward the Rebbe’s inyanim and the Torah of the Rebbe, making sure our geshmak is in the holy stuff.

This sicha is based off of the possuk "You must not place an obstacle before a blind person" If this instruction were meant to be taken literally, it would be superfluous, since the laws regarding personal damages have already been laid down in parashas Mishpatim. It also cannot only be meant to refer to giving bad advice to someone who is “blind” and unaware or ignorant in a certain area, since that, too, is covered in the prohibition against causing damage. Rather, this verse forbids giving sound advice with ulterior motives. For example, you may not tell a naïve person to sell his field and buy a donkey so that you can then buy his field. Even if this advice is actually advantageous for the “blind” person, it is still prohibited on account of the motivation of the advisor. The Torah is teaching us the proper approach towards helping others. In order to help another yid, we must rid ourselves of any self-oriented motivation, focusing instead solely on the needs of the other person. This gives us a powerful message about Ahavas Yisroel - how far we should go for the well being of a fellow yid. The goal is not only about the other's "good" results, but that in the process, you were doing it only to help him, and not at all with your own agenda. Try to put yourself completely in their place. And only when you do that are you able to avoid subjectivity. When you really feel like your fellow yid is YOU, you have true unity with him, then you will be fully invested in him as if you would be in yourself. As a spouse, parent, shlucha, mechanech, doing chessed for others - remember this mitzvah and put ourselves and our own agenda aside, and not guide someone for our own reason - this is the epitome of v'ahavta lrayacha kamocha. Chelek Chof Zayin pg 141-148
