The Weekly Sedra – Vayeishev – When The Going Gets Tough

Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL

“As I said, I was once just a lump of red clay when my master took me and rolled me and repeatedly pounded and patted me. ‘Don’t do that,’ I yelled. ‘I don’t like it!’ But he only smiled and gently repeated, ‘Not yet, not yet.’

He spun, poked and prodded and shaped me to suit himself and then put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I yelled and knocked and pounded at the door. ‘Help! Get me out of here!’

Cracking Open Landmark Chasidic Text Each and Every Day

Yehuda L. Ceitlin – Chabad.org

A group of 10 members of Montreal’s Jewish community sit down every morning to learn a section of the Tanya.

MONTREAL, Canada — Some would call the way 10 Jewish men and women in Montreal push off their work days in order to learn a Jewish text for 45 minutes downright stubborn. But while these professionals admit that they’re nothing if not persistent, they contend that their daily study of the Tanya, the bedrock text of Chabad Chasidic thought, is a necessity in a harried world.
