This week marks the 60th anniversary of the ascension of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, to the global leadership of Chabad. In that time, the organization has grown from a small hassidic group into a global powerhouse of Jewish outreach. But 15 years after our great rebbe's passing, and with Chabad firing on all cylinders, it faces a major decision as to its future. It will either continue to focus on horizontal expansion - opening more Chabad Houses and sending out more rabbi-emissaries - or it will begin focusing on vertical expansion.

From racial profiling to anti-missile shields: the measures Brown should be introducing

In the wake of the international panic caused by the Detroit underpants bomber on Christmas Day, Gordon Brown has come out with a range of new security measures. A 'no-fly' list is to be established, all flights between Britain and Yemen are cancelled forthwith, and terrorist movements will be “seamlessly tracked and disrupted”. Finally, the introduction of full body scanners will begin at British airports next week.

The Rebbe says:

1. There is a famous letter of the Baal Shem Tov in which he describes his encounter with the soul of Moshiach (the Messiah) during one of his journeys throughout the heavenly spheres. “When will the Master come?” asked the Baal Shem Tov, “When your wellsprings (the wellsprings of Chassidus) are spread throughout, even to the outside” answered Moshiach.

2. The Rebbe points out that since our Sages tell us that everything can be found in the Torah, this idea that as the result of the wellsprings of Chassidus being spread throughout the world Moshiach will come must also be hinted at in the Torah:

In its description of the exodus from Egypt, the Torah says, “The children of Israel left triumphantly”. The Targum Onkelos (a major translator of the Torah into Aramaic) translates this verse into Aramaic and writes, “The children of Israel left with their heads held high”.
