What wouldn’t we give to re‐experience – or to experience for the first time – the beautiful moments of Tishrei together with the Rebbe? The miracle of modern technology allows us to rise above the gravitational pull of the here-and‐now, and experience a Farbrengen with the Rebbe, as the Rebbe calls upon us to celebrate with joy and Achdus, and in a manner of L’chatchila Ariber! Blended with beautiful Nigunnim and special moments, this is a Farbrengen experience you do not want to miss.

Two Wishes Fulfilled

by Brocha Miller

In the days leading up to the Yom Hadin; many of us put in effort to tip the scales of merit. We give extra tzedaka, daven selichos, and put more time and focus in our Avodas Hashem. These days of preparation are a time of introspection, but also a time to look outwards, at the people around us, to see what we can do to help others. Chesed opportunities abound, and there are many well meaning people who go out of their way to assist their fellow Yidden.

Did Petty Fighting Lead to Posul Tekios in 770?

On the second day of Rosh Hashanah, Rabbi Sholom Tenenbaum took his place on the Bimah of 770 to blow the Rebbe’s Shofar. After the Tekios were blown, a crack was found on the Shofar’s exterior, likely rendering the Tekios heard by thousands to be insufficient for fulfillment of the Mitzvah. The question on many people’s mind was: Why wasn’t the Shofar inspected beforehand by Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba? In fact, why wasn’t he present on the Bimah during Tekios as usual?
