What if someone said to you, "I love you, but I don't like your children"? You'd probably say: "You don't know anything about who and what I am, and you don't know what love is, either!"

The rebbe was my rebbe growing up in crown hights. I moved a way at 11 and didn't think too much about it. I'm 25 It's been a jumpy ride until now, for some reason I find myself standing over the rebbe at least once a week. He found me and took me back, or he never left my side . Yes, the rebbe is someone to get close to... the light of the rebbe will help anyone through the difficult times.

I'd like to add just from my own brief association, in love to Chabad & Lubavitch that it has not only changed but as an ongoing enlightenment, it continues to change the face of world Jewry, for the better

The Lubavitcher Rebbe is truly the Rosh Bnei Yisrael (head of the Jewish people). The Rebbe feels the pain of every Jew even in the most far flung corners of the planet. Just as the brain feels the pain of the toe nail, the Rebbe feels all our pains. Without the Rebbe we wouldn't know the greatness of Ahavat Yisrael. The Rebbe is truly a "sheperd of faith" who cares for every Jew and causes our faith to be sustained in G-d and in our fellow Jew. . . May G-d send Moshiach now and may we be reunited we our dear Rebbe now! Amen

This powerful "statement" by the Rebbe explains why and how as a nice middle class assimilated medical student trying to make sense of the world, I B'H became a Baal Tshuvah. My relationship with Chabad continues to be a source of ongoing inspiration and joy.

Someday we'll see all loves are one
Someday we'll see each other as one
Someday we'll love and we won't ask how?
The only sorrow my friend
is we don't see someday is NOW

Why do Lubavitchers feel that marriage must be rushed?? What is wrong with waiting to get to know your future spouse, giving it time before making such fast and not too well thought out announcements?
Sure it's wonderful to find the right person, but how do you do that when you do not allow the man and woman to know each other first? To know each other's families first? I don't get it. Why the rush? What is wrong with time? Give these kids some time, a gift from G-d!

what a truly inspiring, moving statement. i am a very latecomer to the wonderful concept of Chabad. But I have a thirst to understand so much more.

may Moshiach come now and may we be immeadietly reunited with our Rebbe!

As Rabbi Akiva said "This commandment is the core of the Torah".
We can't live in harmony and complementarity with other people without love - the three loves. And we should never forget the golden rule "What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow man." This could be a good start. If one loves G-d eventually the other loves will come too. Thank you for your wonderfull article.
We can find different formulations of the golden rule in every religion -but the message is the same.

If I could talk face to face to the Rebbe today I would say thank you Rebbe for everything you did and everything that you stand for. I would not be here without his never ending guidance. The Rebbe has been and continues to be the light of my life. I was as far removed from yiddishkeit as one can be, but he came into my life and turned it around. Today I do not move without thinking "what would the Rebbe say?" To me he is always here with me just as I knew he was with each one of us every time I wrote to him. Through his love of Yidden he broke through every possible gates, and certainly he broke through the kelipah which surrounded my heart all those years ago. On behalf of all those who do not realize just what our Holy Rebbe is, I thank him....for me, for you, for all of us

Just gazing at the holy Rebbe's face warms my heart and inspires love. I am so grateful to Hashem that we have him. I too was very far from Torah and Yiddishkeit until I came under his influence. His life and work are such an inspiration and strength for me, and for all Jews, if only they would know of his tremendous love for each and every one of us. Thank you for bringing him to the forefront.

Rebbe's comment that we are all sons of Abraham and essentially, there are no "'outsiders" was of great comfort to me.
I study this beautiful man's teachings and read as much as possible about his comments on every aspect of life.
I am not of the Jewish faith......'am a Gentile who is learning how to be a better person in this world, all from the Rebbe!
I bless the day I found Chabad.org, quite accidentally on the internet.

If I was divorced with children, I wouldn't marry a man if he didn't "fit right in with the family"!
|
i as a non religious Jew, i admire and respect the work of the Rebbe... since my son Joshua became religious i am leaning to do the same. thank you for all you all do.

About 1900 years ago we Jews were expelled from Israel and were spread throughout the world. Why? Because the Romans expelled us? No. Because of our unwarranted hate of each other which remains to this day. We Jews are like little children in the same family who can’t get along. Go to almost any Christian Church and the instant someone notices you are new they will approach you, introduce themselves, ask your name, shake your hand…and if they had tails, they’d be wagging, they show you how happy they are to see you in their church. But walk into most shuls today and the first four words you will hear are not “Welcome to our shul,” but “You’re in my seat.” WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT PICTURE? On PBS (Palestinian Broadcasting) Scott Simon asked a self-hating Jew, “Is there a need for Israel anymore?” He later apologized for that unmanageable question. But my question is, “If Jews in Israel can’t love one another, why should G-d permit us to stay there?”
