Advice for Life: Fiery Love

Lubavitcher Rebbe; adapted by Dovid Zaklikowski

Photo: The Schaffran Family/Lubavitch Archives

Sometimes a person does not realize
that he is a slave to his surroundings.
He commits improper acts,
he is sold to his money-making,
he is possessed by a desire for honor,
and is a prisoner to his desires.
By awakening the fiery love of G-d
imbued in one’s soul,
one frees oneself from slavery.

Adapted from a letter of the Rebbe, of righteous memory.1

The Rebbe's Wisdom

I love reading the Rebbe's words everyday. There is so much wisdom in what he says (said) that it enriches my neshama daily; and mind you, I am not even Orthodox! (but some of us believe that he was -and will always be- a true Tzadik). Thank you to the Chabad Org. for offering this service of daily wisdom via Internet -right at the convenience of our fingertips.

Many have struggled to describe Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, the seventh leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. A task so daunting due to the multifariousness of the Rebbe’s personality and achievements.

Rather than attempting to describe the Rebbe, this forum will share hitherto unknown tidbits of information about his life and teachings — information that was recorded in writing, audio and video.

Join us as we explore the Rebbe’s life and teachings. Manuscripts, letters, firsthand experiences and more.
