In honor of Chof Daled Teves, we present an overview of the Alter Rebbe’s nesius.

An overview of the city of Yerushalayim, its significance in the Rebbe’s Torah, and his relentless call for its integrity. Presented in connection with the Rebbe’s kapitel this year—Tehillim 122.

Exactly 50 years ago, Egypt and Syria simultaneously launched a vicious coordinated attack against Eretz Yisroel on Yom Kippur. The Rebbe’s leadership during those trying times is a guiding light today.

The history of N’shei U’bnos Chabad

The Baal Shemtov's revelation and leadership

The Mikdash Chonyo built in Mitzrayim and its connection to Moshiach

The life of the Arizal and his role in revealing Pnimius HaTorah

The Rebbe explained on different occasions that many of the things we take for granted in today’s day and age are really forerunners for Moshiach. For example, just as Moshiach will bring wealth and prosperity to the world, so too we in our generation are privileged to live with economic standards that our ancestors could only dream of.

Learn about the Rebbe's transformative approach to the summer. Based on the principle that Hashem did not create anything for no reason, this too must be another opportunity to add in avodas Hashem.

Those who have visited the resting places of tzaddikim know that there are some places that have a solemn, constricting effect on the visitors, while others propel an uplifting and joyous mood. The Rebbe’s Ohel is of the latter category. Arriving at the Ohel, even before any contemplation, one’s mood is uplifted. The tone is joyful.

The figure of the Baal Shem Tov is larger than life. From his birth to his passing, all his travels and encounters, and the stories that accompany them, are all cloaked in “Baal Shemske” fantastical excitement. But it is not only his life story that was out of this world, it is also the impact that he had on the entire Jewish world that is incredible. To truly appreciate the work and life of the Baal Shem Tov, it is important to look back at the history leading up to the appearance of the Baal Shem Tov on the scene of Jewish life. The Baal Shem Tov arrived at a pivotal point for the Jewish masses, awakening the simple Jews and their leaders from the deep slumber of galus and desperation, towards the light and warmth of Chassidus, bringing the Jewish people ultimately on their final way towards the geulah.
