COLlive.com presents Shabbos Night Live, a weekly web class with Torah thought, chassidic stories and timely inspiration.
Presented by Rabbi Shmuel Butman, Executive Director of the Central Lubavitch Youth Organization (Tzach Hamerkazis) and a long-time columnist and radio broadcaster.
This week’s program:
What is the inner meaning of the Rashi in the first verse of Pekudei
“the Mishkon was Colatorized two times?” and what is the spiritual status
of Yerushalayim today?
Plus: What did Reb Yitzchok Goldin tell Reb Mendel Shemtov when the Rebbe told the “Hu-Ra” story and what did the Rebbe say about Goldin?
If Stalin was poisoned, then what’s correct to say: did the Rebbe kill or, kind of, guarantee a successful assassination?
ew Study Supports Idea Stalin Was Poisoned By MICHAEL WINES Published: March 05, 2003 Correction Appended SIGN IN TO E-MAIL PRINT Fifty years after Stalin died, felled by a brain hemorrhage at his dacha, an exhaustive study of long-secret Soviet records lends new weight to an old theory that he was actually poisoned, perhaps to avert a looming war with the United States. That war may well have been closer than anyone outside the Kremlin suspected at the time, say the authors of a new book based on the records. The 402-page book, ”Stalin’s Last Crime,” will be published later… Read more »
in united Israel on FB there is The story of the Rebbe about that purim 1953
AMAZING
The Rebbe did not gesture with his hands while telling the story. The famous picture of the Rebbe smiling and gesturing with his holy hands was when describing the hat of the Mitteler Rebbe.
#3- STALIN WAS FOUND IN HIS BEDROOM DYING ON 1 MARCH 1953, WHICH WAS PURIM. HE NEVER REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS. HIS LIFE ENDED THEN, THOUGH THAT SACK OF EVIL WAS KEPT BREATHING BUT SENSELESS UNTIL 5 MARCH. THE REBBE ENDED HIS LIFE ON PURIM, AS WE ALL KNOW
I believe he died within days of Purim but not in Purim. Very amazing story.
I heard the story from my father, and I remember seeing those words there. Main thing is what the Rebbe said about your Zeide ער איז געווען א חסידישער איד און ער דארף ניט דעם אט רעסט” שיהי’ מליץ יושר עבורך ועבור כל המשפחה
Reb Shmuel, I never heard or knew anything about the words “at rest” on the surrounding “Bettel”, or the story that the Rebbe told your father a”h to contact the family . Did that happen? As a Cohen it is quite difficult to get close enough to the
Kever to actually see what is written or what was removed.
I thank you for telling over this story.
