Some years ago a came across a post, it was a post from Tiktok. A very sweet Jewish lady who wished Tiktok " Shabbat Shalom". What shock me most about this post were the comments, hurtful and antisemitic.

Was October 7th a wake- up call?
October 7th, should have been a wake up call, but it wasn't. Is the shofar on Rosh Hashanah going to wake us up?Β
Gut Shabbos
B"H It is Elul, a month which was always so special, with the sounds of the Shofar on Rosh Chodesh Elul. A time to prepare ourselves for the High Holidays. But somehow this year it feels a bit different, the spark inside and the joy in what used to be so obvious.
Jewish survival is greatest miracle and the greatest proof of HaShem.
Tisha B'Av
The 9th of Av, the saddest day of our calendar as we mourn the destruction of both Beis HaMikdash (Yeshayahu 40:1 ) but also the most joyful day, as its the birth of the Moshiach.
In memory of my mother π―
The young mother set her foot on the path of Life. βIs the way long?β she asked. And her Guide said, βYes, and the way is hard. And you will be old before you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the beginning.β

What is Chabad's view on Zionism? The immigrants to Eretz Yisroel and keeping them frum and being aware of the dangers of secular Zionism.Β
The Effects of Torah study & Teshuvah
The effect of Torah learning relates to the spiritual connection, which it create. The study of Torah is necessary matter, since without a person could never come to observe the mitzvos, for he or she doesn't know wat is commanded to do or not to do. Aside from this, the study of Torah fulfills in perfecting us. The Ramchal tells us that the fundamental concept of Torah learning, the essence of Torah is the Divine influence, the words of Torah as we read and understand these words, G-dliness will elevate our entire being.
The Way of Teshuvah
The concept of Teshuvah is not only associated with sins or transgressions. We can repent even when we didn't transgressed, as the meaning of Teshuvah is to return to our source. Every soul goes through a spiritual downfall at some point and with that we are losing our G-dly sensitivity.
The Inner Dimension of Torah
Judaism has a body and soul, the two are in harmony and find expression through embracing the body and comes alive through merging with the soul. The body and soul in Judaism is halacha. Halacha means " The Way " the way we live, the way we do things, or don't do things.

How to Win A War the Jewish Way
October the 7th on Shabbos morning, as many were getting ready to go to Shul. Its Simchat Torah and as many sangΒ and danced with the Torah Scroll, the news was slowly spreading, whispers and worried faces, men in IDF uniforms hurrying out of the doors. A strange feeling, mixed emotions of joy and fear.
Dear world
Dear World,
Insight for Purim from Rabbi Jonathan Sacks Z"L
The fate of Haman has been throughout history the fate of individuals and nations: that those who try to destroy the Jewish people end by destroying themselves. Great empires sought to harm the Jewish people... Yet every one of them has disappeared, while our tiny, vulnerable people can still say: βAm Yisrael Chai.β
The Soul
Our soul or neshama is The self, as Beresheis describes the soul as HaShem's breathΒ " And G-d breathed into the nostrils the breath of live. "
Chayalim singing to HaShem on the battlefield.
Jewish Identity
The most asked question who is a Jew, but how do we define Jewish Identity? These are the questions that kept me busy for a while now and in search for answer, which I found in the book " A letter in the scroll " By Rabbi Jonathan Sacks Z"L.

The prohecies of modern day global terrorism and the Middle East conflict are in HaShem's Torah. The forces of good and evil in the world are not a coincident, but can be explained trough teachings of Jewish mysticism Kabbalah.

The American Jewry doomed to make the same mistake as their grandparents ?
They forgot that under the genial faces of their friends and neighbors simmered an ancient hatred. Are we making the same mistake?
The power of the Torah and Mitzvos, the Weapon of Eternity.
The Moshiach
The Vilna Gaon teaches us that there are 5874 sentences in the Torah. Each phrase in the Torah corresponds to a specific year. The first sentence, Bereishis β in the beginning G-d created,β corresponds to year one. The second sentence with year two etc.
The Shabbos Project
What would be my Shabbos project? It has to be something that would make a difference. The world we live in,and the blame on Israel for defending itselves. This is not a new thing, as we all know when the western world fails terribly, they need someone to blame and who is better to blame then the Jews.
