Moshiach will reveal a new and higher light than has ever been revealed in the world before. As we approach that time, the G-dly revelations become more concealed in preparation for this new light so things often appear darker in the world. But the reality is that the world is just preparing for a greater […]

I was watching an interview with Eva Sandler,  widow of Jonathan Sandler, and her strength is incredible, may Hashem continue  to give her strength and to comfort her among all the mourners of Zion and may  she know only simchas from now on. But one thing she said that truly entered my  heart: she said

Why is that good people seem to suffer so much? Or that anything holy or good always seems to have so much opposition? We learn in Tanach the story of Ruth and Boaz: everyone thought Boaz made an error to marry Ruth and that is why he died the night after their wedding. However Hashem

So many of our youth are confused (actually not only youth….many mature adults as well). WE are in a very deep galus, a very dark spiritual situation where people are looking for happiness from external sources. People are not happy deep inside. People have lost that enthusiasm and simcha that chassidim have always had. Why

Today is Yud Shevat,marking 70 years of the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s leadership after the passing of the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak. The Rebbe was a leader, a nassi, for the entire Jewish nation, and in fact for the entire world. And he still continues to lead us, albeit on a more spiritual level. What
