The Rebbe says:

1. In the beginning of this week’s Torah portion the Torah says, “When a woman conceives and gives birth to a male…”

2. The Rebbe now quotes the “Or Hachaim” (a commentary on the Torah written by Rabbi Chaim Ben-Attar, 1696-1743):

The “Or Hachaim” asks, why does the Torah use the wording, “And gives birth to a male (V’Yalda Zachor)”, which connotes a surety regarding the birth of the male, which is different from its’ choice of wording a few verses later regarding a female, when it says, “If she gives birth to a female”?

The following is a fascinating encounter between a young Lubavitch girl from crown heights who was going through a very hard time in her personal life, and the Rebbe's involvement in helping her through the hard time's she was experiencing. It's an excerpt from the new book on the Rebbe “The Rebbe Inspiring a Generation” to see more on the book visit www.inspiringageneration.com

The Rebbe's care for every Jew, compassion for everyone's troubles, and sympathy for another's concern's were legendary. At times, people who experienced the Rebbe's consideration simply did not believe that he could really be so concerned with their petty matters.

Dear Rebbe, do you really feel my pain?

Participants of the first-ever Rohr Jewish Learning Initiative mission to Israel hike to the remains of King Herod's palace at Masada.

Combining touring with learning, the first ever Rohr Jewish Learning Institute mission to Israel brought more than 300 Jewish adults from 35 communities around the world for a weeklong educational exploration of Israel. Judging from the responses of those who went, the tour, with its emphasis on Torah study, was unlike most others.
