10 Shevat Gathering with the Rebbe

26:27 - Talk 3: Hard Work Pays Off
Just like a garden or an orchard, the world needs constant tending in order to keep producing. We too must never be satisfied with prior accomplishments but continue our work to make this world a place of beauty. There are those who seek instant gratification and they will tell the "gardeners" not to waste their time with such a long-term project. But we must learn from the Previous Rebbe and spare no effort to invest in the world's future.

48:03 - Musical Interlude: Hu Elokeinu
The Rebbe begins to sing this Russian-Jewish protest song whose words are: "No, no, there is no one besides our one G-d."

52:22 - Talk 9: Our Brethren Behind the Iron Curtain
At the splitting of the Red Sea, the Midrash tells us that the children who were conceived and raised in Egypt were the first to recognize the splendor of G-dliness. Similarly the children who are being raised behind the Iron Curtain have a strong affinity for spirituality. Now that these families are coming out of Russia, we should do all that we can to help them acclimate, including initiating a "buddy system" between local and immigrant families.
