For hundreds of years--perhaps since the beginning of Creation--a piece of the world has been waiting for your soul to purify and repair it. And you are there... now.

Beautiful camerawork. Beautiful thoughts.

Haven't you and I really been here forever? True, before we were zygotes, our form was more...diverse...as haploid reproductive cells carried by our parents, and we were practically in two different places at once, but it was still "us", just like everything else which eventually accumulates form into life. Before that, we were changing even more rapidly, from many different locations of various cell nutrients toward the cell. We were food. Before that we were minerals in soil, photons in light, and water in clouds, among other things...and long ago we were stardust, too. Should it really be any surprise that we have been here forever, in some form? Before, we were merely anticipated by the universe, but after all of our footsteps have fallen, are we then remembered...forever?
In fact, what else do we really ever "have", ultimately, other than memory?
Hope is always based on memory...quite ironically...
Wow! See how inspiring you are?

Thank you for your beautifull reminder! inspired by this- i said an extra brocha and word of torah in the HIlls and Caverns of Arizona!

Without this wonderful film and text I would not have known its meaning. Thank you so much.
I was at the Adriatic sea in Italy, and Hashem was there too.

Dear Rabbi Freeman,
although I said it already many times how much I love this video, the pictures as well as the words. I could look at it every day.
I see it is true. Every word of it and also every picture.
When I think of "Chabad", what it means to me, I think of this vacation meditation.
It makes me happy and content and thankful. I understand things in my life I would not be able to understand without hearing these words (and the pictures
are part of it. The first picture is extraordinary beautiful and makes me feel, that I am part of G-ds creation. Very tiny in this huge universe.
Allow me to thank you for all of this again. Everything belongs to it. Even the strings of the guitar and the beautiful voice, G-d gave you.

i want to take those words with me wherever i go, but i know it will be a challenge to remember them when i fall into my sick mind.
however, it can take me higher when in the time of feeling truth.

How every thought, speech, and deed can make a world of difference.
Although today's world is a scary place, as evident from the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, one good deed can tip the scales. In Waves, hear the Rebbe explain how each deed, however insignificant it may seem, is universally important.

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.

The Torah Solution to Achieving True Peace in Israel.
Throughout Jewish history, through times serene and turbulent, the People of Israel looked to the Torah for guidance and stability. Only through steadfast adherence to Torah principles, - the Rebbe insisted - can Israel achieve true peace.

"But why do You hide?" I asked.
"To make room for you," G-d replied.
