Weekly Letter: The Essence of A Jew

In celebrating the joyous day of Lag B’Omer this coming week – when we remember Rabbi Akiva and his colleagues who displayed great strength and self-sacrifice during the oppressive Roman rule of the Land of Israel – we share a letter of the Rebbe. In it, the Rebbe explains the essence of a Jew and cites the famous analogy of our Sages – of a fish in water where it needs to live.  Living in one’s vital element is basic to one’s survival.
