19 Kislev On the 19th of Kislev we celebrate the “New Year” of Chassidut, join us as we explore some of the revolutionary ideas illuminated in Chassidut by the first Chabad Rebbe, known as the Alter Rebbe.
|

 |
|
| Breathing new life into a shattered people; the three components that set the Rebbe’s leadership apart, in the aftermath of the holocaust.
|
 |
 |
|
| An open and informative class on the relationship between Rebbe and Chassid.

|
| A deeper look at the day commemorating the deliverance and release of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the first Chabad Rebbe, from Czarist incarceration. The weekly parshah for this date talks of Joseph sold as a slave to Egypt; a striking similarity between these two great Jewish leaders.
|
 |
 |
|
| Its a mitzvah to imitate our creator. We also try to imitate a Rebbe, teacher or mentor. A chasid tries to acquire at least some measure of his Rebbe's personality and character. This class tries to give us an observation of one measure of the Rebbe's qualities which we may try to emulate.

12th & 13th of Tammuz The 12th and 13th of Tammuz marks the anniversary of the liberation of the previous Rebbe from Soviet imprisonment. Presented are stories detailing some of these events.
|
 |
 |
|
| The Rebbe said a chassidic discourse and personally gave it out to thousands of people shortly before he passed away. In it, he explains the role of the ‘shepherds of the people’; the Jewish leaders. It sets the tone for the future and tells us what we need to do to reveal G-dliness in this world.

 |
|
| Rabbi Kaplan explains what happens when the soul leaves the body and the concept of a Yahrtzeit. How is it that Chabad copes after the 3rd of Tamuz -- the passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of blessed memory. What is the significance of the passing of a tzaddik.

 |
|
| Love, fear, and compassion for G-d can and should be directed towards the part of G-d within us, the soul which is a literal piece of G-d from above. This is how we should relate to our fellow Jews.
|
 |
 |
|
| What is sanctity, where do we find it, how do we create it and what does it do for us?
|
 |
 |
|
| Chassidus stresses the permanent, eternal G-dliness of the Jewish soul: A piece of G-d from above, separated momentarily, only to come together again more deeply than before. That’s the beginning of Jewish life; it is the "modeh ani" of the morning.
