Weekly Story: A Phenomenal Birthday Present

The Rebbe Rashab once related to his son, [the Frierdiker Rebbe,][1] the events that transpired on his fifteenth birthday, Chof Cheshvan 5636 (1875): “On that day, my father the Rebbe Maharash said a maamar before me on the concept [which we say on erev Shabbos], ‘Eliyahu opened [his discourse] and said: Master of the worlds, You are one, but not in the numerical sense.’ He then instructed me to go home and review the maamar by myself, and then to return to him.

Weekly Letter: “Seeding and Planting”

In preparing for the Shluchim Convention this coming week – we share a powerful letter of the Rebbe in which he encourages a shlucha who feels discouraged and doubtful of her capability and suitability to do her shlichus work. The letter, written originally in English, is from the archives of the Rebbe’s trusted secretary Rabbi Nissan Mindel.

Here’s My Story: Laser Vision

After the Six Day War, in 1967, my wife and I decided to move from the United States to Israel with our young family. Before the move, I came over on a pilot trip and was granted a job interview at the Israeli Ministry of Defense. After they conducted a lengthy investigation, to my great joy, I was hired. I went to work for the Ministry of Defense using my skills as a Harvard-educated lawyer to negotiate contracts for the purchase of defense equipment including submarines.
