Episodes

The Real Job of Jewish Judge 17.05.2023

The Rebbe writes to the author of a book featuring little-known Medieval commentaries on tractate Sanhedrin, and calls on the author to embrace the key task of the Sanhedrin itself: spreading Torah far and wide, and not limiting their influence to academia. Iggros Volume 28 Pg 123

Women in Chabad 17.05.2023

A brief history of various women's movements in Chabad (Agudas Noshim, Achos Temimim, Nshei), culminating in a letter from our Rebbe about the unique power of Jewish women and the Friediker Rebbe's dedication to them. Iggros Volume 28 Pg 97

Chassidim vs Misnagdim 17.05.2023

A letter to Norman Lamm (Rosh Yeshiva, President, Chancellor at Yeshiva University for 60 years) regarding a book that he had written contrasting the approaches of the Alter Rebbe and R. Chaim Volozhiner. Iggros Volume 28 Pg 41.

A Plea to Repent 16.05.2023

What prompted the Rebbe to send an Israeli politician a five-page letter beseeching him to repent immediately? This letter comes with a powerful and miraculous backstory—one of those rare glimpses behind the curtain that keeps you up at night.

Illegitimate children in Israel 16.05.2023

The Rebbe weighs in on the "Langer Affair" (and R. Shlomo Goren's role in it), one of Israel's most politically-charged debates of 1973, with ripple effects that will ultimately shape the Rabbinate. Iggros Volume 28 Pg 99.

The Jew who wanted to be a priest 16.05.2023

The Rebbe's approach to missionaries, and how he approached one Jewish boy who wanted to convert to Christianity and join the clergy. Iggros Volume 28 Pg 157
