We are celebrating the Rebbe & Rebbetzins 90th Wedding Anniversary! In this Sicha we learn about the Teshuva accomplished by a wedding, based off the wedding of Esav to Yishmae'ls daughter. Like Yom Kippur, a wedding brings Kaparah through either a) the marriage itself b) the wedding inspires the person to do Teshuva or c) the specialness of the Mitzvah/Moment motivates you. The Torah uses Esa...

Avraham is committed to spreading the word of Hashem to the world & having hachnasas orchim. Avraham plants the Eishel Tree, and then right after that story comes the Akeida. Whats the Eishel tree? Leafy tree, orchard, full on hotel - pleasurable for guests! Message for us? Jewish DNA is chessed and gemilus chasadim. Help them physically and also to lighten others soul burden. Hachnasas Orchim is...

Likkutei Sichos Chelek Hey, Parshas Lech Lecha, p. 297

"Noach had to be told to "Tzai Min HaTaiva" Go out. In the Taiva its very peaceful, moshiachdik, but you are limited and accomplishments are limited. When we leave the Taiva thats when we lose our comfort zone, we tap into Ein Sof and unlimited abilities. There is a time to go into the Taiva, and a time to Leave it. Follow what Hashem wants us to do. Our efforts, Hashem's results. We need to put o...

Parshas Bereishis. Empower Women. How is it that Adam Harishon tripped up and ate from Eitz Hadaas? How is it that we do the same thing - something that seems so easy to do right, and yet we find ourselves falling short? And what was Chavas role in the Eitz Hadaas? What has changed since Matan Torahs time? This is a very empowering Sicha and a beautiful start to a new year! Going strong into Parsh...

Make sure to listen to this sicha before Simchas Torah for some amazing Rebbe perspective on our children and moshiach! Sefer Hasichos Nun Bais. Pg 37

PreYom Kippur - El Hanaar Hazeh Hispalalti A famous and well known sicha that we should listen to again and again! Chana, mother of Shmuel, chose to stay home with her young child instead of being oleh regel. The Rebbes empowering message to us women from this story. Listen all the way to the end. Sichos Kodesh. Lamed daled.

This sicha compares Shlichus to a marriage, and Hillel, Shamai, and Rabbi Akivas views on the matter. Sometimes we need to stick things out, sometimes we need to leave and all the time - we should discuss with a mashpia and Rav :) (Likkutei Sichos Chelek Dalef, page 1121)

Likkutei Sichos Chelek Chof Daled page 115 "Thought? What is truly the essence of a person? Sicha is based on the posuk ""Ki HaAdam Eitz HaSadeh"" A man IS a tree of the field. The tree is connected to its root, our middos are constantly connected to essence of our nefesh. When is our learning complete? When it affects and changes our middos. So, we have work to do :"

The Atmosphere of Elul in Lubavitch (Teshuva Wind/Scent of Elul in the air) Elul is the transition month, going from past year into future year. Cheshbon Nefesh. Shining Sun ~ Hashem is with you, you are not alone in your #lifegoals. Be aware of the Ruach, the spirit of every Yid - I have a neshama, special, connected to Hashem - make your cheshbon hanefesh with that. Approach another yid with tha...

"Eikev" means heel, referring to "light mitzvos" that someone may value but prioritize as lower on their list of things to accomplish. In CORE foundation - a mitzvah connects us to the essence of Hashem - each mitzvah, regardless of big or small - connects us to Hashem. The yetzer hora could box you in "Im not that type". Break out of the box we put ourselves into! We...

THINK: Is there an area in life I wish I could do better? Or I want to improve but feel that I fail? This Sicha is based off a posuk about Arei Miklat, that if a person needs to go to one, he should have everything there that he needs to live. Including his teacher! Why would your teacher be required for you to live? ....If a person is stuck in golus, make sure you have a Rav or a Mashpia there to...

"Things are always changing, time, life, goals. The reality of Hashem is eternal. Yidden are compared to the Day - Sun, Moon & Stars = father, mother and children. Each one of us is part of a bigger unit. The sun is consistent, the moon is always changing & new - the "Day" combines both maalos. We have a neshama, a spark of Moshiach inside of us, and we can live Geulah with the "SAME NEW" (Likkute...

Learning in honor of Chaim schneur zalman hakohen Ben betzalel hakohen Looking at the World through a Chassidus Mindset. Understanding Making a neder and Hataras nedarim. Our energy goes into Doing Good - when we reject negativity, we do so from a positive place. "We can only say one thing at a time. Speak positive things." Reject our yetzer horah FROM our neshama! We clean diamonds, not dirt. (Se...

Staying Present & utilizing that specific time even if its crazy, or "in between". Additionally, a part of this sicha that is not in the audio recording: the Rebbe says a person may get distracted by the big wide world in 2 ways: 1) wouldn’t it be better if my situation was diff- more like some other place or moment in the world- then I could do my avoda well? 2) how can avoda in my little space a...

Don't place your hope in man, the dew (everything!) comes from Hashem. Inspiration for making a "daily keili" - when need something and you really need Hashem, don't stress, put in effort today, a "daily keili" and hand it back to Hashem. (Likkutei Sichos Chelek yud ches, page 293.)

The Rebbe, The Rosh, The Nasi "The Nasi Hador Hu Kchol Hador" (Chelek lamed gimmel pg 131)

This Sicha was given by the Rebbe on Gimmul Tammuz, about Gimmul Tammuz. Often times when we are in something it looks truly bad, and yet, in retrospect we can see that it was the beginning of the geulah. We have Emunah that things WILL be ok, yet why does Hashem shlep us through the process? The natural process itself is valued by Hashem. Start your day with joy, knowing the world will help you,...

When the Meraglim all came with their complaints, Kalev was able to quiet them all down and strengthen them. We need to dig deep and recognize the yetzer hora for who he is, an expert at his job - and grow and accomplish and do our lifes shlichus. We have the Rebbe and we are more than able to do what we need to do! (Likkutei Sichos Chelek Ches, page 82)

Rebbes View on Inclusion, and caring for each and every person, especially when someone is in pain or challenge - if its happening to one, its happening to all - and its worth all sacrificing for the one (Likkutei Sichos Chelek lamed gimmel pg 71)

Shavuos Sicha We all have moments of Moshe, Dovid and Baal Shem Tov. Above the world, In the world and working in/with the world. Go out into velt sure of success. No doubt, darkness will be transformed into light. Absolute Nitzachon! Likkutei Sichos Chelek Yud Ches pg 35

Likkutei Sichos Chelek Gimmul, page 1007

“The basis of chinuch is that all the child’s needs are being met - physical, emotional, spiritual.” “Educating children and influencing others brings you personal redemption." This sicha spoke about "pintele yid chinuch" A comment from when we first discussed it " i was listening to the part abt holding high standards like the kohen even when the child doesn’t understand and doesn’t want that. To...
