We got the backstory to Reb Moshe's letter supporting the Rebbe's mivtzoim.

[JMMusings @JMMusings]

The letter

[JMMusings @JMMusings]

The Rebbe to Rabbi Yolles in 1949:

A miracle that happened to one's Rebbe is even greater than a personal miracle.

[JMMusings @JMMusings]

@TzviAlperowitz I stand corrected. It is R Yisroel Shmotkin.

[JMMusings @JMMusings]

Shluchim to Minnesota rabbis Manis Friedman and Moshe Feller receive a kuntres from the Rebbe at the first International Kinus Hashluchim.

[JMMusings @JMMusings]

@TzviAlperowitz On R Manis' right?

[JMMusings @JMMusings]

Rosh Chodesh Kislev marks the day the Rebbe returned home 5 weeks after suffering a major heart attack during hakafos in 1977.

A thread about the first doctor who attended to the Rebbe in those critical moments following the heart attack.

@DBashIdeas Not sure if this is any better. See my original tweet for the typed part.

The letter

[JMMusings @JMMusings]

A letter from R' Moshe Feinstein encouraging Rabbis to arouse their communities to take part in the Lubavitcher Rebbe's mitzva campaigns after the Rebbe suffered a severe heart attack in 1977.

On alef Kislev the tefillos of thousands were answered and the Rebbe returned home.

Shlichus was always associated with a spiritual mesiras nefesh, unfortunately in our times it has become literal. Rabbi Eli Schlanger, Hy"d, gave his life doing what shluchim do: bringing spiritual light to the world. Our response is more light.

[Pinny Ringel @Pinnyringel]

Rabbi Schlanger son at the @chabad #Kinus "Tatty I will Keep Digging"

Grandfather giving his grandchild courage to continue in his father's footsteps.

6000 shluchum stood up and gave them a standing ovation.

[JMMusings @JMMusings]

@Mottel The seforim are the thesis behind the mission

[JMMusings @JMMusings]

The Rebbe's gift to the world that too often gets overshadowed by his other gifts to the world.

The Rebbe's Gift to the World: Thousands of @Chabad Rabbis from 100+ Countries Pose for Annual Photo at the Kinus...

The photo represents Jewish confidence, pride and joy!

The letter "Shiggayon LeDavid" reached me, and my innards were shaken. How can there be such a man, one who turns things from one extreme to the other?
On the contrary, I rebuked R' Baruch to his face: why is he so ungrateful? The two times I was in Petersburg were on account of his grandfather, the Baal Shem Tov, of blessed memory. I could have said, "His grandson is alive. Let him come and answer all the difficulties raised against him." Yet I never said, "Who am I, that the Torah of the Baal Shem Tov should be sanctified through me?"
Afterward he asked me, "Why do you need all this? Can't you sweeten the harsh judgments by passing your hand over the forehead and face?" I told him, "Surely our forefather Yaakov knew how to sweeten harsh judgments, yet he still said, 'I will appease his face with the gift' [to Esav]. The truth is that one needs both the sweetening of the judgments and a gift sent to Esav."
Afterward he asked me, "Is it fitting for your honor to wander around such distant towns?" I answered, "Am I greater than R' Pinchas ben Yair, who wandered all his days to redeem captives?"
Afterward I asked him, "Is it true what people tell me in your name, that you called my book, the Sefer shel Beinonim, a book of mere intellect?" He admitted to his words. I asked, "If so, why are you angry with me?" He replied, "Why did you come into our region?" I gave him two answers. First, it is written, "The earth and its fullness are Hashem's." Second, I could not bear the suffering and torment of the villagers who had been exiled from their homes to the towns, where they were cast out in the streets, swollen with hunger and dying of famine.
He replied, "What do you care if they die?" I said to him, "It is evident that you accepted slander about me from those 'Westerners.' Until the year 5562 we were faithful friends, but those Westerners spoke slander about me and you accepted their words, just as Shaul accepted [the slander] about David. So I say as David said to Shaul: 'May Hashem judge between me and you.'"
At first I said not to reveal this letter to Anash, so that there would be no desecration of G-d's name before the opponents. Afterward I reconsidered, and on the contrary, I ordered that the letter be copied and sent to all the lands where Anash live, so that everyone will know the falsehood.
For in that [forged] letter it was written that I had asked R' Baruch for his approval of my trip to Petersburg, and that he told me anyone traveling there must wear Russian clothing and grow a forelock, and that I accepted this upon myself for the good of Israel. This is a lie, known and publicized throughout our region, since many people travel from our region to Petersburg and need none of this. Besides, why would I need his approval? I hold a document of freedom from the Emperor (may his glory be exalted) covering all my conduct.
I conclude and send greetings to Anash, "for their protection has departed from them, and Hashem is with us; do not fear them."
Shneur Zalman, son of R' Baruch, of blessed memory, of Liadi

[JMMusings @JMMusings]

A painful letter of the Alter Rebbe in which he recounts his conversation with Reb Baruch of Mezhibuzh, the Baal Shem Tov's grandson. He describes the criticism Reb Baruch voiced against him, explains why he acted as he did, and addresses the false claims about him in a letter that was being spread.

Excuse me, are you Jewish?

[JMMusings @JMMusings]

@mitchellvii People in the comments saying the fact that they are both from Florida is an issue.

[JMMusings @JMMusings]

What if Rubio and DeSantis run as a team, pledging to alternate between President and Vice President every four years, keeping the partnership going for up to 16 years?

Could this work @grok?

ארבע billion שקל כסף ביני ובינך מה היא?

[Fox News @FoxNews]

BREAKING: President Trump says the U.S. will end roughly $4 billion in annual aid to Israel by the end of the year, revealing that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to the decision.

“Because they don’t need it,” Trump said during an exclusive interview on @foxandfriends, describing Israel as a thriving country that no longer requires American financial assistance.

Trump also said Netanyahu raised the idea of ending the aid himself. He emphasized that Israel remains one of America’s most reliable allies as the two countries prepare for a major shift in their financial relationship.
