Farbrengen 19 Kislev 5735, Kfar Chabad

00:03 It is well known that after the massacres of 1648–49, when the Jewish people were in a faint, their strength in Torah and mitzvos was weakened, and Hakadosh Boruch Hu wished to have mercy on His people, He sent them Rabbi Yisroel Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Chassidus as a whole. Through his holy name and his teachings, he roused the Jewish people from their faint. This is the power of a tzaddik, his unique gift: he can kindle the G-dly spark within every Jew, man and woman, young and old, and inspire them in Torah and mitzvos. Likewise, in the present situation, when the Jewish people are in a faint, “All the nations surround me,” Hakadosh Boruch Hu sent them our Rebbe shlita, whose name is Menachem. And he will comfort—he comforts the Jewish people, and he will comfort the Jewish people. “He declared to His people the power of His deeds, to give them the heritage of the nations,” for the nations of the world have no control over our Holy Land. And on this day we declare that our dear one, whose name is Menachem, who will comfort the Jewish people and who comforts the Jewish people—Kfar Chabad has decided to build a building under the Rebbe’s supervision, and that building will be Beis Menachem. May it be Hashem’s will that from this place, this new village, Kfar Chabad, the Jewish people will be inspired to Torah and—and mitzvos. And from this place, we all bless the Rebbe shlita with long life and many years, and that he come to us in holiness, redeem us, and lead us upright to our land through Moshiach. Amen and amen. Good day, good day.
