“Daily Wisdom” for All!
Dear Friend,
One of the earliest features on Chabad.org—harking back to the days of desktops and dialup—has been our daily study section, where people learn the day’s portions of Torah, Tanya, Hayom Yom, Psalms, and Maimonides’ Mishneh Torah, following the syllabus instituted by the Chabad rebbes.
We are very pleased to tell you about the latest addition to this venerable collection. “Daily Wisdom” is a companion to the daily Torah portion, bringing you a thoughtful and inspiring teaching on the portion, distilled from of the writings and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory.
The teachings were rendered by Rabbi Moshe Wisnefsky, produced in book form by Chabad House Publications of California, and published by Kehot Publication Society.
Click here to sample it, and see for yourself why this feature has already won awards and wide acclaim.

Enjoy!

Maybe it’s a challenge because hospitality sounds too similar to “hospital.” It does not sound like fun.
When spouses unknowingly communicate with each other less than positively, they create distance in their relationship.

Between the brain and the heart lies a narrow strait called the neck.
This neck presents a major challenge, because the brain must ponder very deeply to squeeze its thoughts through such tight passage and reach the heart below.
But it is also a great advantage, because when the heart is thrown to and fro by the migh...
