Selected Discourses of the Lubavitcher Rebbe
Learning a Purim maamar of the Rebbe
A Chassidic discourse from the Lubavitcher Rebbe that uses the Purim story to explore the mystical secrets behind Golus, the spiritual "exile" of the Jewish people. (BaLaylah Hahu 5744)
A text-based series on the Rebbe’s insights into “Olam Haba”, the post-Messianic period of resurrection of the dead. (Maamer, L’hovin inyan techiyas hameisim, 5746)
Exploring fundamentals in Jewish thought through the lens of a Chassidic discourse of the Rebbe (“VeNachah Alav” 5714).
After a while, the Rebbe took a break in the discourse, so with great excitement my grandfather got up and announced to all those gathered, “G-d has helped us! We have a Rebbe! Let us all say l’chaim to the new Rebbe!”
How the chasidut said by a Rebbe relates to each individual listener, creating a mystical transaction.
