72. Rosh Hashana: The Jewish Woman - Hashems Able Assistant

Sep 25, 2019

31:26

Hashem wants bright, strong, and happy homes and counts on the Jewish woman and her daughters to direct them. He wants a bright, strong, happy world and again turns to them. We can take a house and turn it into a home. We can light up the most mundane with our joy and dedication. For quality control, we must always check that our actions reflect the will of the true Master of the home. Our three special Mitzvos repair the sin of Adam and Chava in Gan Eden. Adam was called the challah, light, and blood of the world. Most importantly, our dedication to being mothers and supporting motherhood is our ‘Shofar’ - like ‘Shifra’ the midwife. It’s our greatest contribution and merit on Rosh Hashana.

65. Balak: Careful With The Little Things

Jul 17, 2019

27:57

What was it really that inspired Bilaam to bless the yidden instead of curse us? What were these details that Bilaam noticed about us? How can we bring this focus of careful details in our personal lives into focus today - bringing us Hashem's brachos and even that of the whole world. (Likkutei Sichos, Chelek yud gimmul, page 78)

64. Korach: A Gimmel Tammuz Farbrengen

Jul 3, 2019

41:42

A Gimmel Tamuz Farbrengen. What really was Korach struggling with about Moshe as a leader? What truly is a Rebbe to us? A great teacher, or a king? Practically, how do we live with a Rebbe? the answers are in the sicha :) (Parshas Korach, Chelek Daled, page 1048)

Jul 3, 2019

30:41

Rebbes View on Inclusion, and caring for each and every person, especially when someone is in pain or challenge - if its happening to one, its happening to all - and its worth all sacrificing for the one. (Chelek Bais pg 314.)

61. Naso: Hair Covering

Jun 12, 2019

38:51

Based off the halachos of Sotah, we understand that Jewish women have their hair covered - todays learning delves into the Rebbes view on hair covering, the brachos that flow from it, keeping this mitzvah carefully, and wearing specifically a sheitel. The audio is a bit longer than usual because it includes some Q & A at the end. (Likkutei Sichos Chelek Yud Gimmul page 187)

42. Bo: Answering Your Children

Jan 16, 2019

29:00

We are living in a time where we have all types of children asking all types of questions. In parshas Bo it says "Tomorrow when your son will ask you, what is this? Answer: Hashem took us out..." Rashi tells us "machar" can refer to present day or far-off future. The Rebbe fleshes this out even more. "Machar" can mean tomorrow, or further in the future, or a different mindset, a topic/mind-shift. A child can come to ask the question because hes in a totally different mind-space or mindset and doesnt "get" whats going on here. The Rebbe digs deeper: we can have 2 types of children who ask questions. One who just simply doesnt know, when we teach them, they join in, and the other who doesnt get it, they are "machar sh'l'achar zman" This child "doesnt know yosef" - doesnt know the Rebbe, doesnt relate, maybe isnt even sure if they believe what you are saying. What should we do with such a child? Talk with them, answer them, connect! Do not give up! He is YOUR child. This is your zchus and achrayus. We need to tap into an even greater love for this child! (Likkutei Sichos, Chelek Lamed Alef, Parshas Bo page 61)

31. Vayera: Helpings Others Go All Out

Oct 25, 2018

21:22

Avraham is committed to spreading the word of Hashem to the world & having hachnasas orchim. Avraham plants the Eishel Tree, and then right after that story comes the Akeida. Whats the Eishel tree? Leafy tree, orchard, full on hotel - pleasurable for guests! Message for us? Jewish DNA is chessed and gemilus chasadim. Help them physically and also to lighten others soul burden. Hachnasas Orchim is more than tzedakah, you make the person feel welcome - like escorting them out to the door. How far do we go? ....While in a place that is comfortable, good times, plant an Eishel and give over to help another person, going all out in the most beautiful way - that kind of approach enables them to then go into an Akeida bsimcha. Lesson for all generations: A person can give to others, not just the basics, but the best of the best in Torah and Mitzvos, this is how we raise a generation of mesiras nefesh. We are ready to go all out! Serve every person coming through our eishel. Raise children around that and they will grow up ready to do whatever is needed for Torah & mitzvos. Hashem pays you back in huge, beautiful ways. (Likkutei Sichos Chelek Gimmul Parshas Vayera page 765)

29. Noach: Every Child Born

Oct 10, 2018

33:01

"Noach had to be told to "Tzai Min HaTaiva" Go out. In the Taiva its very peaceful, moshiachdik, but you are limited and accomplishments are limited. When we leave the Taiva thats when we lose our comfort zone, we tap into Ein Sof and unlimited abilities. There is a time to go into the Taiva, and a time to Leave it. Follow what Hashem wants us to do. Our efforts, Hashem's results. We need to put our cheshbonos aside and Peru Urevu - both spiritually and physically. One who increases one soul its as if he build the world." (Likkutei Sichos Chelek Chof Hey, Parshas Noach, page 28.)

Make sure to listen to this sicha before Simchas Torah for some amazing Rebbe perspective on our children and moshiach! (Sefer hasichos Nun Bais. Pg 37)

262

23. Ki Teitzei

Aug 23, 2018

23:07

This sicha compares Shlichus to a marriage, and Hillel, Shamai, and Rabbi Akivas views on the matter. Sometimes we need to stick things out, sometimes we need to leave and all the time - we should discuss with a mashpia and Rav :) (Likkutei Sichos Chelek Dalef, page 1121)

21. Re'eh: Breathe In Elul

Aug 9, 2018

24:22

The Atmosphere of Elul in Lubavitch (Teshuva Wind/Scent of Elul in the air) Elul is the transition month, going from past year into future year. Cheshbon Nefesh. Shining Sun ~ Hashem is with you, you are not alone in your #lifegoals. Be aware of the Ruach, the spirit of every Yid - I have a neshama, special, connected to Hashem - make your cheshbon hanefesh with that. Approach another yid with that too - neshama centered. Scent of Moshiach. Breathe in Elul - you can do it just as easily as you breathe! Ksiva VChasima Tova! (Likkute Sichos Chelek yud tes. Pg 158)

264

20. Eikev: Just Do It

Aug 1, 2018

28:40

"Eikev" means heel, referring to "light mitzvos" that someone may value but prioritize as lower on their list of things to accomplish. In CORE foundation - a mitzvah connects us to the essence of Hashem - each mitzvah, regardless of big or small - connects us to Hashem. The yetzer hora could box you in "Im not that type". Break out of the box we put ourselves into! We are the Rebbes generation, we can jump in and do it. Give our children the Chinuch of: miracles and above nature, Hashem does great things, we have a Rebbe. We put ourselves in to Mitzvos and Ahavas Yisroel above nature, and Hashem will respond in kind, with brachos above and beyond. (Likkutei Sichos Chelek Yud Tes, page 89)

19. Vaeschanan: Teacher Goes With You

Jul 24, 2018

30:25

THINK: Is there an area in life I wish I could do better? Or I want to improve but feel that I fail? This Sicha is based off a posuk about Arei Miklat, that if a person needs to go to one, he should have everything there that he needs to live. Including his teacher! Why would your teacher be required for you to live? ....If a person is stuck in golus, make sure you have a Rav or a Mashpia there to help you. You want things to improve, and a Rav/Mashpia goes in with you, understands you, "gets" you and meets you where you are at. Discuss with a mashpia and ask Hashem for help (and ignore voice of despair). (Likkutei Sichos Chelek Chof Tes, page 33)

266

15. Balak

Jun 27, 2018

34:25

Don't place your hope in man, the dew (everything!) comes from Hashem. Inspiration for making a "daily keili" - when need something and you really need Hashem, don't stress, put in effort today, a "daily keili" and hand it back to Hashem. (Likkutei Sichos Chelek yud ches, page 293.)

13. Korach/Gimmel Tammuz

Jun 12, 2018

42:31

This Sicha was given by the Rebbe on Gimmul Tammuz, about Gimmul Tammuz. Often times when we are in something it looks truly bad, and yet, in retrospect we can see that it was the beginning of the geulah. We have Emunah that things WILL be ok, yet why does Hashem shlep us through the process? The natural process itself is valued by Hashem. Start your day with joy, knowing the world will help you, and we will see incredible miracles. (Sefer Hasichos Nun Alef, Parshas Korach. Page 64)

12. Shlach: Marching Orders

Jun 5, 2018

37:26

When the Meraglim all came with their complaints, Kalev was able to quiet them all down and strengthen them. We need to dig deep and recognize the yetzer hora for who he is, an expert at his job - and grow and accomplish and do our lifes shlichus. We have the Rebbe and we are more than able to do what we need to do! (Likkutei Sichos Chelek Ches, page 82)

10. Shavous

May 15, 2018

25:30

We all have moments of Moshe, Dovid and Baal Shem Tov. Above the world, In the world and working in/with the world. Go out into velt sure of success. No doubt, darkness will be transformed into light. Absolute Nitzachon! (likkutei sichos Chelek yud ches pg 35)
