Jewish Learning Institute

This Sunday marks 31 years since the Lubavitcher Rebbe's passing. The Rebbe embodied the essence of what it means to truly love G-d, the Torah, His people, and the Holy Land.
Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, former chief Rabbi of Israel, relates that in 1974, while he was a rabbi in a small synagogue on the outskirts of Tel Aviv, he visited the USA for the first time. Coinciding with the fraught aftermath of the 1973 Yom Kippur war, he came to Brooklyn to meet with the Rebbe privately. During their conversation, the Rebbe inquired about the mood of the people in Israel and asked about what they were saying. Rabbi Lau replied that Jews were asking each other: “Vos vet zein?” “What will be?”
The Rebbe grasped Rabbi Lau’s arm, and said with great passion: “Yidden fregen nit vos vet zein; zei fregen: vos geit men ton!” Jews don’t ask what will be; they ask: What are we going to do?!
Today, we too must ask ourselves, "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?" What can—and will!—each and every one of us do to bring stability and peace to our people and our land?
DO something for the love of G-d, the Torah, His people, and our beloved Holy Land.
Light Shabbat candles 18 minutes before sundown in your city.
Shabbat Shalom!
Am Yisrael Chai!
Light. Love. Live. For Am Yisrael.
And for Yocheved—an everlasting, brilliant spark of Am Yisrael—in whose loving memory we bring you these weekly messages.

I was a yeshiva bochur in Morristown NJ from 1982 to 84. I listened to many of the Rebbes talks in Crown Hights ehen ee would visit for Shabbat. Although i eventually left Chabad and moved to Arizona the Rebbe has always inspired me. A great Rabbi Torah scholar and proponent of Chassidic wisdom. And most of all an unwavering supporter of Israel

do more than hope if you can create hope

@styvensafar6302

but for us muslim, the way to deal with it is we also focus on what we can do as much as possible in the world and life without denying the end of the world and the afterlife, because what we do in the world in the name of God, carrying out His commands without looking at and choosing His commands, we can reap goodness in life after death, that's the difference with you who don't have to believe in the afterlife.
