To Know and to Love

Moshiach

Zoom

From the desk of Rabbi Nissim Lagziel, mashpia in Oholei Torah: This week’s double parsha, Acharei-Kedoshim, contains one of the most foundational of all the mitzvos, particularly from a Chassidic perspective, that is, the mitzva of ahavas Yisrael. Everyone can tell dozens of stories about this mitzva. In our childhood, we were taught that ahavas Yisrael is the foundation of the entire Torah, especially Toras Ha’Chassidus. The problem is that in real life, we don’t always see it or feel love for another as we love ourselves. We don’t always behave with others as we would want them to behave with us • Click to Read

Are Tests Really Necessary in Yeshivos?

Opinion

Zoom

From the desk of Rabbi Gershon Avtzon, Director of Yeshivas Lubavitch – Cincinnati: I’m a bachur in Beis Medrash and am very much involved in learning.

What is the Rebbe’s approach to this? • Click to Read

The Test That Lifts You

“I travel a lot for work, often to places that don’t observe my level of kashrut. I used to bring my own food or stick strictly to what I knew was within my standards. Sometimes that meant eating very little. Over time, I became more lenient—I’ll now eat things without a hechsher, telling myself, “It’s probably fine, and I need to eat.” But I know deep down it’s not right. I want to return to how I used to be, but I can’t seem to get back there.” • Aharon Schmidt replies, from the Living Jewish’s Farbrengen column • Read More
