The Rebbe on a Solar Eclipse: A Teachable Moment

On Monday, August 21, a solar eclipse will be visible over North America. What’s the Jewish take? JEM presents a newly-published video of the Rebbe discussing this very topic.

After a similar eclipse took place in Central and South America in summer of 1991, the Rebbe addressed the phenomenon during a talk to Jewish women.

As it turns out, our nation’s entire existence began when a young boy looked up at the sun and figured out there must be something awesome at play.
