Letter & Spirit: Promoting the Health Benefits of Bris Milah

In this week’s edition of Letter and Spirit, we present a letter from the Rebbe in which he discusses the concept of ta’amei ha’mitzvos – and in particular as it relates to the mitzvah of a bris milah. Should we promote the health benefits of a mitzvah in order to encourage Jews to perform it? The letter was written in English through the Rebbe’s trusted secretary Rabbi Nissan Mindel, and was made available by the latter’s son-in-law, Rabbi Sholom Ber Shapiro.

At left is a picture of the Tzemach Tzedek in a calendar published by Mesora, Lodz (Poland). On the right is an 1886 lithograph printed in Vilna and accompanied by authorization of the Russian censor, dated Oct. 30, 1886. This picture was likely printed in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of the passing of the Tzemach Tzedek.

The Life and Legacy of the Tzemach Tzedek, 150 Years Later

Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Lubavitch, known as the Tzemach Tzedek, was the third leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. A flurry of activity exploring the multifaceted life of this great Jewish leader marks the 150th year of his passing on the 13th of Nissan (which this year corresponds to Thursday, April 21), just prior to Passover of 1866.
