Dear Friend,


Our campaign for publishing a volume by Rabbi Dov Ber of Lubavitch, the Mitteler Rebbe continues today, the 10th of Kislev. On this day, In 1826, the Mitteler Rebbe was released from imprisonment on false charges that his teachings threatened the imperial authority of the Czar. The day is celebrated as a "festival of liberation."


Please take a moment and dedicate this volume in honor of this Chasidic festival.


Thank you.

our Daily Wisdom by Rabbi Moshe Wisnefsky.


Working Together

Laban said to him, "If only I would find favor in your

eyes! I have learned by divination that it is on your

account that G-d has blessed me." (Gen. 30:27)


The Torah teaches us that the Jewish people play a special, central

role in G-d's mission of making the world into His home. It is therefore natural that any facet of creation that assists the Jewish people in fulfilling their mission merits G-d's blessings.


The Midrash notes that the presence of Jewish people in a place – especially the presence of Jews who are consciously loyal to their Divine mission – brings blessing to that place. Historically, the presence of the majority of the Jewish people in a particular country has brought prosperity and success to that country.


Thus, it is not enough for the Jewish people to merely make

efforts to ensure that the government of whatever country they

live in protects their religious rights. It is not even enough for

the Jewish people to encourage the non-Jews to fulfill their own

Divine responsibilities – the seven Noahide laws. Besides all this,

the non-Jewish population must be enlisted to help the Jews fulfill

their Divine mission. This serves to bring blessing upon the entire

country, as one.
