After months of staying at home, Yudale finally had a playdate with his friend last week and was enjoying his first trip to the park. He was having fun standing on one of those round tire swings, but when he tried to sit down in the middle of swinging, he fell off and hurt his foot. We knew he most likely broke something, and we quickly rushed him to get an xray, but we were really surprised to learn that he would need an operation 6 hours later in order to put his growth plate back in place. I don’t like operations... but I was grateful to Hashem that it wasn’t for anything more serious, and I was BH able to just relax and accept Hashem’s plan. I anyway had to keep totally positive and calm for my son, and I didn’t let myself worry at all, even for a second.  Yudale would need to spend the next few hours doing all kinds of tests, but we knew that he is BH a strong and brave boy, and decided that I would go back home to take care of the rest of the kids, while my husband would stay...

The news lately is so disturbing and painful on SO many levels! This world is meant to be Gds beautiful, peaceful, pleasure-full garden, not a garden of sins and lies!  Every human being, no matter what color or race or religion or profession or political party, must know that THIS WORLD IS NOT A JUNGLE, and that one day, everyone will be held accountable for their choices, to the same ONE Gd.  Every human being must know that there is “An Eye that sees and an Ear that hears and that every single act is recorded.”  Gd knows the full truth, and every human being will be judged by Him, and receive their due reward or punishment. It is only a matter of time - if it will be now or later, if it will be in this world, or in the next world.  We can rest assured that the cop who murdered Floyd will receive his justice. And so will EVERY human being who broke any of the 7 universal laws of Gd, including “Do not kill” and “Do not steal” and “Maintain justice.” It is our respon...

Today we had a video call with my cousin who was telling us about our dear elderly great aunt who is completely alone now because nobody is allowed to visit her... My daughter asked, “What, even her own kids can’t visit her?”  And she answered, “Right, no one! She’s totally alone.”  So my 4 year son asked very sincerely, “What, even Hashem can’t visit her?!” Of course we told him he’s right! Hashem IS with her! She is not alone at all!  It was just so sweet! Out of the mouths of babes...

I just asked the Rebbe something in connection with the virus and then opened to this page! It’s amazing because my profile picture over the last period was “think good and it will be good,” but I was just thinking to change it, because I started to have doubts - maybe we’re living in a different time now when this doesn’t work ch”v?  Things are really not looking good at the moment and it seems we must take ACTION instead. Of course we need to Daven that it will be only revealed good, and that Moshiach be revealed now, but at the same time maybe it’s healthy and life-saving to worry too? But the Rebbe is reminding that the directive to “think good and it will be good” applies NOW  more than ever! Our thoughts have a REAL effect, our trust in Hashem REALLY protects us! *Our thinking good is what will REALLY  save lives!* It’s actually dangerous to chv think otherwise, and especially to speak otherwise!!!  It seems like a contradiction to have Emunah and bitachon AND ...

I was just 5 years old. I believe it was my first and last time saying something to the Rebbe in person before gimmel tammuz... But sitting here today, 28 years later, all I really    want to say is those same two simple things. “Thank you, Rebbe!” And, “We want Moshiach now!” There’s nothing else to add. The rest is just commentary.  First, I want to say, “Thank you Rebbe” -  For your love, for your kindness, for your sensitivity, for your caring... For your teachings - that inspire me, that encourage me, that uplift me, that empower me, that energize me... For your clear answers and blessings when I reach out to you - through your letters, or your videos, or other obvious Divine Providence... For feeding me faith ever since I was a little girl - in Hashem, in the Torah, in Moshiach, and in myself, and in others... For making my mission so clear, for making us your Shluchim, for giving me such a purposeful meaningful life. For your wise outlook and guidance and advi...

B”H DO WE REALLY WANT MOSHIACH? Every time we learn the famous sicha of koach nissan, the same question always comes up, “How is it possible that since the Rebbe said those words, there weren’t even 10 Yidden who REALLY truthfully cried out Ad Mosai?! There definitely were way more than ten! Just one of many many examples, is the video of the woman who painfully cried out to the Rebbe right after the sicha, “I want Moshiach! I want my son back!...” It’s obvious that she meant those words with her whole heart and soul! And since then there have been hundreds or even thousands of such cries! How can it be that Moshiach still hasn’t come? I still don’t know the answer, and Hashem has absolutely no excuse at all for delaying the Geulah this long!! He owed it to us years ago and it seems to me like a big mistake that He hasn’t taken us up on the many perfect opportunities we gave Him for this, especially like this past Pesach...! Hashem has A LOT to answer for when Moshiach comes!!! But to ...
