25 years since Rebbe’s passing

SHABBAT SHALOM! ❤️ THIS SHABBAT IS SPECIAL. Twenty-five years after the Rebbe’s passing, his presence is felt more strongly than ever. His teachings continue to inspire and guide, and his insights remain uncannily fresh and relevant, as though imparted today. In one way or another, all of our lives are affected by his visionary leadership.

On the 25th anniversary of his passing (Shabbat, July 6th), let’s celebrate the Rebbe’s vision. Let’s honor his life’s mission to bring goodness and kindness into this world. Let’s do one more mitzvah, one more good deed, to make this world a better place.

There will be days when we feel fully risen and expansive and up to facing life’s most difficult challenges, and we will gaze at our lovely fat challahs with pride. There will also be days when we may feel deeply deflated and incapable, and the slightly lop-sided challahs cooling on the counter may be more reflective of that state of mind. Through all the risings and the fallings, through the knowledge that we are good enough to nurture, exactly as we are, will help us appreciate the yield of our efforts and recognize the loveliness in all its imperfection.
