Learn what the great Sage Elisha ben Abuya, the quintessential heretic in the Talmud, and the pork eating professor in modern day Jerusalem have in common…. Yes, man is filled with contradictions; sometimes our Jewish identity goes through a crisis. That is the story of life in a difficult world. But we most never identify the wrong we have done with our essence – the unsinkable soul.

Dutch archivist Raymund Schutz examines a Holocaust-era telegram sent by way of a Schevenigen Jew named Moshe Stiel to Chaim Meir Bukiet, a Chabad-Lubavitch yeshiva student who escaped the horrors of Europe for Shanghai.

What’s the value of 25 words? For many fleeing the onslaught of Nazi forces during World War II, and their families throughout Europe and beyond, a simple telegram was the only way to stay in touch with loved ones. They transmitted a priceless message, that for that moment in time at least, the sender was safe.

The Rebbe says:

1. This week’s Torah portion tells us of the passing of Aharon HaKohen (Aaron the High Priest) and Miriam the Prophetess.

2. Our Sages tell us that the three sustaining elements of the Jewish people while they were in the desert were in the merit of their three leading characters- Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher), Aharon HaKohen, and Miriam. The Manna was in the merit of Moshe Rabbeinu, the Clouds of Glory were in the merit of Aharon Hakohen, and the Well of Water was in the merit of Miriam.

Our Sages continue on and say that when Miriam died the Well dried up and when Aharon died the Clouds of Glory disappeared. However they both returned solely in the merit of Moshe Rabbeinu.
