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

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!

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.

The Video
Thank you so much for putting this video together--the music, the conversations, the wisdom all are very moving. "May the Rabbi's name be for a blessing."

The Rebbe and Gordon Zacks
He's the one who tells the Rebbe "You're amazing" at approximately 12 minutes into this video.

For the full story read the chapter titled "Divine Power - the Rebbe", in his book "Defining Moments: Stories of Character, Courage And Leadership". You can find it on Amazon.com
(Search inside the book for "Rebbe" to read the entire story).

inspiration
It is a great thing to meet a person like the Rabbi. His words inspire- yes, everything must grow and if a Jew can make not only a Jew happy but also a non-Jew than he will fullfill the Law.
Please, send me the first song to my e-mail. Thank you.

Seen this about 8 times
Thanks

Honestly he somehow helps me continue in Judaism day to day. He is an inspiration.

You do not realise what a kindness and mitzvah you are doing by making all the Rebbe's archives available for free. I know so many who feel the same as me. I'm in England but I'm sure it's the same everywhere in the world.

A true light in the darkness. Even in the Jewish world unfortunately there is often a lot of darkness. Even in the 'religious' world there can be darkness. But in the Rebbe there is nothing but light. His glowing countenance is soothing, as is his voice.

So inspiring - inspires me daily.

Rebbe why did you leave us...

Love and thanks for all your programs.
I am not of your faith yet I feel so very close to the Hebrew (Jewish) people.

Since I've become homebound I have a great deal of time to spend at your computer site. I really enjoy the Rabbi's, comments, advice, the music and every other place I c an get into. Thank you! Sending my gratitude to all who spend such time in putting the programs together.
