The Meaning of Sacrifice - Part 1

In Sefer Hasichos 5702, the Previous Rebbe relates some of the struggle that Chassidim endured in the Soviet Union. Warned against practicing Judaism under threat of danger to their lives, the Previous Rebbe gathered his closest Chassidim and made a pact. They swore not to be deterred from their mission, in spreading and promoting a life of Torah.

This story and its lesson, more than being confined to history, must be inculcated into our daily lives as well. While we may not be facing the same dire circumstances as in times of old, we need to forever increase our Jewish resolve, and ultimately usher in the final redemption.
