Chassidus Applied to Yud Daled Kislev 

  • What is its significance?  
  • History and stories 
  • What did the Rebbe say about meriting the 60th anniversary? 
  • Why did the Rebbe not edit his blessing on the 60th anniversary? 
  • What personal lessons do we learn from the Rebbe and the Rebbetzin’s marriage? 
    • What did Yud Tes Kislev accomplish? 
    • How did it affect the larger world? 
    • What is its message today? 
    • Why did the Alter Rebbe laud the impact his liberation had on the nations of the world? 
    • Is Yud Tes Kislev connected to Tanya and the verse it is based on: Korov eilecho ha’dovor m’eod? 
    • Why is it important to know and discuss all the details of the Alter Rebbe’s arrest? 
    • Why did the Alter Rebbe and the Mitteler Rebbe wear their finest white garments at their trials? 
    • Why was the Alter Rebbe arrested for teaching chassidus – what can possibly be wrong with that? 
    • After he was exonerated, were the prosecuting angels held accountable?  
    • Why did chassidim do somersaults after the Alter Rebbe was freed? 
    • If the geulah of Yud Tes Kislev indicated permission from heaven to teach and spread chassidus, why was the Rebbe apprehensive about publishing Hemshech Ayin Beis? 
    • What lesson do we learn from the Alter Rebbe’s opposition to Napoleon winning the war? 
    • How is the Alter Rebbe’s opposition to France consistent with his teachings that we need to transform, not avoid, the material world? 
    • Are we still meant to avoid engaging with France and the freedoms of the Western World? 
    • What did the Alter Rebbe mean when he explained why G-d asked Adam, ayekah? Did G-d not know where Adam stands spiritually?  
    • What is the connection between this story and the message of Yud Tes Kislev?
