Thank you, Rabbi Raskin for an excellent shiur. (lecture) I learned many new concepts, and this certainly enhanced my Tisha b'Av observance. Yesher koach!

Iron and Beit Shilshi

In connection to this very important Torah from the Rebbe z"l, a further study can be found by googling: torat hadomem.

Iron Will

Dear Rabbi Aaron Raskin,

Thank you verry much for this wonderful, inspiring, enlightning Class.

Just what I needed living by myself and in a country where these Classes do not seem to exist.

I will go to the Jewish history Museum and Portuguese Synagogue in Amsterdam Tomorrow.

I Hope we will manage somehow to bring about The Third Temple!

Thank You

Rav Raskin's shiur

As many of us merit to live in Israel, it is great that we can also benefit from Rav Raskin's class. Please include them on Chabad TV on a regular basis.

What a beautiful teaching! Lets wait for Moshiach with our hearts full of joy and expectancy in the promised kingdom! Lets us all unite in our thoughts of acceptance of one another with our individual differences, in peace, love, and compassion. Moshiach is coming! Soon!
May Moshiach's love fill our hearts and mind.

	Iron Will A Metaphor for Exile and Redemption
Before the siege of Jerusalem, G-d commanded the prophet Ezekiel to place an iron pot around a brick symbolizing the city's siege. (Ezekiel 4:3) Iron can be a metaphor for the grave character defect of rigidity or for the deep inner strength of the Jewish people that leads to Redemption.
