Nothing is worse than self doubt. Doubt is more in the heart than in the mind. Emotions often distract us from our goals. The mind needs to channel the emotions, so they empower rather than inhibit. Light Candles in Orlando at 8:09 PM. Shabbat Shalom!

Rabbi Akiva (twice) & Yosei Ben Zimra left home to study Torah for 12 years. Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai (also twice — once with Chananya Ben Chachinai, and later with his son R’ Elazar in the cave) also went to study for 12 years. Who else do we find this by?

Reb Moshe would always remind us, that when writing a “Pan” (letter to the Rebbe) we should always begin with the words ״הנני לבשר טוב ״ “I am here to report good news”

BD”E R’ Moshe Kotlarsky 😢

Having one of those “who will be the Zaidy for my children?” moments.

Reminds me how there were really 2 generations between the Exodus & entry into the Promised Land. So too the older generation was promised Moshiach. Yet we are the ones destined to fulfill it. May it be today!

Rabbi Masya ben Charash retorted: Better to be a tail of lions, than to be a head of foxes. 🦁

Curses & blessings are simply a result of what we project. The same words & actions we deem negative, can just as easily be understood in the positive. So let’s positively reframe the world! Shabbat Shalom! Candle Lighting in Orlando at 8:01 PM

The Lubavitcher Rebbe quotes sources (Arizal) who say that Matisyahu Chashoma’i was a Kohen Gadol, & others that say he wasn’t.

Truth is, the position of Kohen Gadol was mostly political & run by Hellenists (Jason, Menelaus) in Jerusalem, while the “real” K”G was in Modi’in 😉

Historical trivia: When did R’ Elazar Ben Shamua live? He lived 105 years. We know he was a student of Akiva (who was killed by Hadrian in 134 CE) & got Smicha from Yehuda Ben Bava (also killed by Hadrian). He also taught R’ Yehuda HaNasi who was born in 134.

Every Passover, the Haggadah reminds us: “In every generation, they rise up to destroy us.”

You thought it was a history lesson.

It’s a warning.

People worry about losing a dime,
But seldom worry about their time.

Judaism is mostly about study and only minutely about practice, yet that practice both wise and deliberate.

There is much wisdom here.

Did you know that when you do acts of kindness locally, it also helps people globally!

Chanukah Night #4 • BALANCE! The Menorah is at the halfway point. Though everything in the world has a counter-balance, we all know that light has an innate advantage over darkness. There’s no turning back now!

[Rabbi Levik Dubov @OrlandoRabbi]

Pirsumei Nisa isn’t Chassidus — it’s Judaism. Why some chose to take it to the next level was simply a matter of having vision and not being intimidated of an indifferent world.
