If a soldier can approach a mission with the mindset of “I can,” why do we let small failures convince us that we’re incapable? How does one small frustration turn into a whole story where we start believing we can’t? And how much of our success is really determined by the mindset we choose to build?

Is Jewish music about the genre… or the connection to Judaism?

Today, many people use the word “Zionist” simply to mean someone who supports Israel. But if Zionism began as a movement meant to replace Torah and traditional Judaism, should a Lubavitcher publicly identify with that label anyway? Can you fully support Eretz Yisroel and the Jewish people without calling yourself a Zionist?

Why did the Rebbe refer to the Frierdiker Rebbe as Moshiach? Was he speaking literally, or is there a deeper Chassidic idea behind the statement? In this episode of Stump the Rabbi, we explain what the Rebbe means and how Chabad understands the concept of the Nasi HaDor and its connection to Moshiach.

Some say it shows disrespect to the mikvah’s holy waters. Others say the concern only applies in certain cases. Is it actually halacha or just a minhag?

If Hashem is all-knowing and already wants what’s best for us, why do we spend so much time asking for it? if our needs are already known to Hashem, does davening actually change anything?

Chabad doesn’t grow long payos — why?

If it’s a mitzvah, wouldn’t more be better?

The Arizal writes about the proper shiur of payos and why going beyond it isn’t necessarily ideal.

The joy of Adar is unique because it centers on the power of transformation within our regular, everyday lives rather than escaping from them. While other holidays might omit Tachanun to rise above the mundane, Adar is a time when we engage with the physical world and even its negative aspects to turn them into something holy. Therefore, we say Tachanun because the greatest possible joy is found in the ability to descend into the "bottom" of the world and transform that negativity into a connection with the Divine.

What am I here for? What is my mission? Chassidus addresses these core questions of existence by diving deep into the teachings of the Alter Rebbe. Using the Book of Tanya as a practical guide, we explore a framework for living with intention—fostering the love, fear, and motivation needed to serve G-d. Beyond just theory, Chassidus opens us up to a profound understanding of ourselves, the purpose of creation, and the entirety of reality.
