Erev Rosh Hashana Message: Normalcy Bias

This Rosh HaShana, I’m sensing more than I’ve ever sensed before that the world is a mess and getting messier by the week and by the month.

Rabbi Liff marks the yahrzeit of his maternal grandfather, Reb Yisroel ben Reb Kalman (born 1900, Poltava; niftar at almost 97).

Erev Rosh Hashana 5787: Why Not to Fear a Year Without Shofar on the First Day

With Rosh Hashana 5787 on Shabbos, shofar is blown only on day two. The Aruch LaNer says such a year is either very good or the opposite. Rabbi Liff gives two reasons not to fear: betuchim anu — Hashem moves to the Kisei HaRachamim; and Rav Meir Simcha of Dvinsk — our mesiras nefesh in keeping the …

"I Do Teshuva For You" — The Rebbe Takes Away the Mezid Uman 5787

Everybody knows the Rebbe's promise. Come to my kever, give a pruta l'tzedaka, say ten Kapitlach Tehillim — and be mekabel shelo yashuv od l'ivlato. And then, in his own Yiddish: ich vel zich leigen in der leng un in der breit, I will lay myself out, the length and the breadth of it, and I will pul…

Why Is the Rebbe Buried in Uman?My Uman, 5787

Sitting around the table after Rosh Hashana, telling it the way you'd tell a friend who has never been. It starts with the week before — a couple of hundred people and easy access to the tziyun on Sunday, harder on Monday, and by Tuesday you had to push your way through. Waves of people arriving ev…
