Introduction for Yud Shvat (the Tenth day of the Hebrew month of Shvat)

1. Yud Shvat commemorates the passing of the Previous Rebbe, Rebbe Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson , in the year 1950.

At the age of fifteen he was appointed as the personal secretary of the fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe, his father, Rebbe Shalom DovBer.

A Rebbe and his Chassid – Rabbi Groner goes to Australia

What is a Rebbe? What is a Chassid? Why are Chassidim following their Rebbe? How is it that a Rebbe can dictate the life of his Chassid? Why do Chassidim leave all their comforts and familiar surroundings to go to far away places for life, just to follow the Rebbe’s wishes?
