The Rebbe's relentless call for every Jew to never rest

The Rebbe's message was as old as the Torah itself, yet his approach was as rousing as dawn. He urged each person, in personal and communal life, to never be satisfied with yesterday's achievements or today's successes, but to soar tomorrow to even greater heights.

Do More!!!
I have accomplished many things.
Yet everyday I arise as if I have done nothing.

I give to charity.
Yet I always feel I could have given a bit more.

What is the secret to this?

"Do not believe in yourself until the day you die." Rabbi Hillel

for there is truly no "I can't" there is only "I won't"

AND REMEMBER:

If limitations existed for
There would have been no Exodus
There would have been no parting of the sea
There would be no Torah
There would have been no Temples
There would have been no forgiveness
and there would be no redemption

Be as you truly are - Infinite!!!

The Rebbe is Holy and Unique
The more I learn since becoming an "Averech," Talmid Chacham (outside of Chabad), in my mid 30's and making Aliyah, the more I come to recognize how holy and unique the Rebbe is in his approach to Torah and the need to go forth and reach every Jew in whatever PHYSICAL or SPIRITUAL point he or she may be. What is True only proves itself more over time and such is the Rebbe and his teachings.

Double your efforts in this site so that the Rebbe would be even more satisfied...Yasher Koach!

Dvar Malchus
On Gimmel Tammuz it is especailly moving and inspiring to be able to access this video among the others on chabad.org. I thank you for myself and my family. As a person who comes into contact with hundreds of other Jews on a weekly basis I cannot express enough the importance of work like this. It behooves all those who hear and understand the simple message of the Rebbe to go and carry it out. Now GO!

Amazing
May the spirit of the Rebbe of blessed memory continue to inspire all Jews to bring light into dark areas for that is how we shall bring about the Messiah. The Rebbe was and continues to be an amazing person. If he has taught me one thing, that is to never be satisfied. May we continue to acknowledge the three pillars on which the world stands upon!

THANK YOU
I would like to thank the Rohr's and the Boymelgreen's for supporting this worthy cause. You have no idea of the amount of inspiration we get to do the Rebbe's bidding when we see these videos. I feel as if the Rebbe is speaking to me personally here and now.

May G-d bless you that you should always be able to do more and more for the Jewish people.

A growing thought.
As it is written that " he who saves a life saves Humanity as a whole" I now have grown and say that " He who inspires one life, inspires life and Humanity as a whole.

Inspires One to Continue
Whenever I am very tired and question whether my Jewish activities are accomplishing what I would like, I go and view this video and also the "Waves" video, and emerge freshly reinspired to keep reaching out to other Jews and performing mitzvos.

Thank you for making this video!

Niggunim
Have any of the fabrengens of the 70-80s been preserved? It was an extraordinary gift to witness the Rebbe z'tl singing as if he was the only one in the shul crying to Hashem, a niggun that tore your heart and filled you with the most intense love. I hope some of these were preserved, my tzedakah will be going to this project. I also found my daughter's photo, being handed a dollar by the Rebbe. I cannot explain what it means., but thank you.
