Weekly Letter: Withstanding the Tests

This Week, as we read in the Parsha about some of the ten tests of Avraham, we present a letter from the Rebbe to a person experiencing great challenges. The Rebbe’s encouraging message refers to Avraham our patriarch, and the great challenges he faced and tests he withstood. He did so with bitachon and with joy and gladness – for which he was richly rewarded. The letter, written originally in English, is from the archives of the Rebbe’s trusted secretary Rabbi Nissan Mindel.

Video: Bridges Between Worlds

Looking at the brain, could you imagine the complexity of what it can do? Look at the universe and realize that the complexity is infinite. Rabbi Tzvi Freeman and Dr. Michael Kigel learn together about the bridges that G-d provides to connect his infinity with our finite selves. This video has a uniquely engaging presentation style.
