Why did the rebbe barely mention גיהנם?
2026/05/27
In this episode, we explore the profound mechanics of spiritual growth and the Chassidic way of life. We dive into the true definition of Tshuva, explaining why the essence of repentance is a sincere decision for the future rather than just regret or self-affliction. We also tackle the practical and spiritual questions of our community: how to find the right Mashpia, why every personality type has a place in Chassidus, and the ethical complexities of modern industries like cash advances. Finally, we discuss the importance of Emunah, teaching why questioning "what if" about our life circumstances is a mistake, as everything is precisely ordained by Hashem for our best interest. Questions: What is teshuvah? Is it okay for a bochur to be a mashpia for another bochur? Why did hashem create the female and male לויתן 🐋? If I come to Zal can I drive? Can I trim my mustache? Why did the rebbe barly mention גיהנם? I don’t see my self being chassidish with my personality? What are the rebbes instructions? What is cash advance? Why don’t the Shluchim give attention to bochrim? Do you say Hashems name by והוא רחום? Is it better to have your kids in a different yeshiva? Concepts: תשובה Hashem Dosent laugh 😆 עשה לך רב 🐋לויתן רבני חב״ד גיהנם גן עדן Prizes /mivtzas Cash advance ריבית Gmach התלמידי השלוחים דער וואלפער “What if” is אפיקורסות!

Questions: are you allowed to put a Sefer on your lap? What to do if there are two approaches by the rebbe? How long will the desire of ז״ל go until? Hashem wants us to fulfill his desire why can’t I fulfill mine? Are you allowed to listen to music in שלשת ימי הגבלה? Why do bochrim use Artscroll’s? Is it respectful to use a rebbe picture as a bookmark? Chachomim mixing there? Concepts: קדושת ספרים 📚 No contradictions משביעו רעב מרעיבו שבע אם כבנים אם כעבדים שלשת ימי הגבלה הרב יי ברוין שליט״א Artscroll יראה לי של הרמבם
