PM Netanyahu Meets Chabad Emissaries

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, July 10 2024 at the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem met with Chabad emissaries from Israel and around the world to mark 30 years since the passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs, Chabad on Campus Chief Operating Officer Rabbi Avi Weinstein, Chabad on Campus Israel Director Rabbi Moshe Shilat and Harvard University Chabad Emissary Rabbi Hirschy Zarchi also participated in the meeting.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said: "I saw the Rebbe the first time in Simchat Torah, 42 years ago. He said three things: Ahavat Yisrael [loving Israel], defend Eretz Yisrael [the Land of Israel] and fight the lies."

"Bechol dor vador kamim aleinu lechaloteinu [in each generation they rise up to destroy us]. VeHaKadosh Baruch Hu yatzileinu miyadam [and G-d will redeem us from their hands]. But we have to help the Kadosh Baruch Hu [G-d]. We have to take our own active action against our would-be destroyers. We're fighting back in Gaza, we're fighting back in Lebanon, we're fighting back in other parts of the Middle East. But we also have to fight the battle for public opinion, for justice and for our own solidarity, our own solidarity with our people who are beleaguered.

"We can win this war. We're going to win it. We are winning it in fact. Pummeling our enemies with the force and the indomitable courage of our soldiers. They are tremendous heroes. No question about it. But we also have to win the war in the world. The quicker we end this war, the quicker we'll be able to also fend off the slanders, and that's something that we're going to do.

"The most important message I have for you is don't bend, don't cower, don't surrender, not to these antisemitic lies, not to the fear, not to the intimidation. You are our ambassadors in the spirit of the Rebbe. This is what the Rebbe told me. He said: 'You are going to be the ambassador of the Jewish people in the Hall of Darkness,' as he called the UN. He said, light a candle of truth. Stand up against our enemies and for our people and for our land.

"That's the same message. It hasn't changed. It's just become even more necessary, more acute, more indispensable than at any time your lifetimes. Carry that message to our people. Carry that message of truth to the world," Netanyah concluded.

Spread Light | Alex Clare | Matisyahu | TYH Nation

The words of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, ZY”A , continue to resonate throughout eternity. His revolutionary approach of illuminating even the darkest places was a culmination of thousands of years of Jewish tradition. He instilled in each of us a sacred sense of purpose, empowering us to recognize our vital role in the grand narrative of history.

He taught us that we have a dual mission to fulfill: to disseminate light, love, and Hashem awareness, both externally to the world as well as internally in the deepest recesses of our own hearts. This is our mission, to bring the promise of Moshiach to every corner of the world.

SICHAH - The Untold Story of the Rebbe's Magnum Opus

Did you know the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s Chiddushim and Divrei Torah fill over 200 published volumes?

Marking the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s 30th yahrzeit, many prominent Rabbonim are joining a campaign to encourage the study of the Rebbe’s Divrei Torah, but where does one begin?

The Rebbe’s primary work, Likkutei Sichos, which he meticulously organized and edited, spans 39 volumes. It's a comprehensive work that spans the breadth and depth of Torah. Pshat, drush, halachah, lomdus, and Chassidus, are all brought together with signature clarity, ingenuity, and compelling logic. However, with nearly 30 essays on each parsha, mostly presented in Yiddish with intricate, scholarly detail, it may seem a bit overwhelming.

Presenting Selections from Likkutei Sichos: A groundbreaking initiative by Sichos in English aims to make Likkutei Sichos more accessible than ever.

In this video, you will discover the remarkable journey of Likkutei Sichos. Uncover the fascinating history behind these important seforim. Explore how Sichos in English, the premier publisher of Chassidus in the English language, expertly rendered these teachings into English, and get a sneak peek at the beautiful five-volume set that brings the Rebbe's wisdom to life. Join us as we reveal the untold story of how the Lubavitcher Rebbe's profound Divrei Torah are now accessible to English-speakers worldwide.
