No Glory in Abandoning Russian Jewry

News

Zoom

The repeated attacks against Chabad and Rabbi Berel Lazar for servicing the Russian Jewish community should have each and every one of us asking: if our own country were taken over by a totalitarian war criminal who waged war against another country and isolated us from the world, what would we want our own rabbi to be doing. Packing up and running away would probably be the last option to cross our minds.

From the desk of Rabbi Simon Jacobson, Director of the Meaningful Life Center: One of the most eloquent concepts in mystical thought is the microcosm/macrocosm phenomenon. The human being is a “miniature universe,” reflecting every aspect of the world at large — and the universe is a giant organism. The reason for this intrinsic connection between humans and the universe is because the universe was created for the purpose that we humans refine and elevate it. Thus, a copy of every detail of the universe exists inside of each human being. By refining different aspects of our personal lives we also refine each respective corresponding dimension in the universe • Click to Read
