To Count is to Be Counted Upon – Kabbalah of Self Worth

by Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov, Jax Fl.

The Baal Shem Tov was accustomed to draw out his prayers on Friday evenings. His disciples, who typically finished before him, would wait for their Rebbe to conclude, so as to join him in the Shabbos meal.

It happened, on a given Friday, that one of the participants felt rather hungry. He thought to himself: “There is still plenty of time before the Baal Shem Tov will complete his prayers; I ought to go and eat something. In all likelihood, I will be back before he’s done. Besides, there are plenty of others around; I shall certainly not be missed.”

First Impressions at AIPAC

by Baila Olidort – Lubavitch.com

In September 2009, when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to American Jewish leaders at the 92nd Street Y, he recalled that as a young ambassador to the UN, he was advised by the Lubavitcher Rebbe that he would be entering “a house of darkness and lies.” The Rebbe gave him a “mission to light a candle for truth and for the Jewish people,” he said.
