ימי חנוכה, שנת פ"א - "הרחב פיך"
לקוטי שיחות חלק י' וישב ב:
וכן העלי' בהר ה', שהתמדת העלי' מוכרחת לא רק לתועלת העלי' עצמה, כ"א גם בכדי להבטיח שלילת הירידה. והיינו שאין לו להסתפק במעלתו שהגיע אלי' עד כה . . ומודגש הענין במיוחד במצוות נר חנוכה . .אם רוצה לקיים את המצוה באותו ההידור שקיימה ביום שלפניו מוכרח הוא להעלות בקודש.

So too with regards to our personal journey, climbing the "Mountain of G-d," one must constantly ascend, not just for the sake of the ascent, but also to assure that they do not slip… As we see in the Mitzva of kindling the Menorah, if one wants to fulfill the mitzvah with the same level of Hiddur (beautification) as yesterday, they must increase the number of candles, they must ascend in holiness.

While Chanukah is known as a time for Mivtzoim, and spreading the light of Chanukah to the outside world, we cannot forget the light of Torah, and our task to constantly ascend and grow in our learning.

Chanukah is a great time to stop for a few moments, while sitting at the Menorah and share something from the Sicha you learned, or learn the sicha, together with your family.

And from Chanukah and beyond, we continue the lesson of "Maalin Bakodesh" to constantly grow, both in the quantity and quality, in learning Likkutei Sichos, and living with the Rebbe.

💥This week's Sichos💥
Chelek Yud, Sicha Miketz Alef, Miketz Beis, (Chanukah)

חלק י • מקץ • שיחה א

היאך אגלה והקב"ה אינו רוצה לגלות
A glaring question which many commentators address, why did Yosef not reveal to Yaakov that he was alive, especially after becoming so powerful in Mitzraim. Rashi does not even address it, because it is self-understood based on another Rashi.

חלק י • מקץ • שיחה ב

אשר יאמר לך תעשו
What is Rashi's source in the Pshat that Yosef instructed the Egyptians to circumcise themselves? A profound lesson in the impact Yosef has on Mitzraim, and that we must not be influenced by our (negative) surroundings.

חלק י • חנוכה

להודות ולהלל
Based on their understanding of the Gemara, we can explain the Machlokes between Rambam and Tur if it is a Mitzva to feast on Chanukah, and for which miracle or event was Chanukah established, or also for joy and feasting.

Feature of the Week

Not for kids only
Chanukah is from the word Chinuch which means education. Today we will focus on some of the children's resources for Project Likkutei Sichos.
Animated Sicha Every week, the Gourarie kids produce a short animated video of the Sicha, with a poem written by Mrs. Chanie Gourarie. A fun way to learn the Sicha.

At this year's Tzivos Hashem rally, the kids produced a video of the Rebbe's message to Tzivos hashem, and were honored for spreading the Rebbe's Torah to their fellow Chayolim by saying Yismach.

JOIN the Kids Sicha WhatsApp

A new addition is a 5-7 minute podcast on the Sicha by Levitche Lazaroff of Houston, TX. A wonderful overview of the Sicha, presented clearly and concisely. Your children will love it and you will too. Available weekly on our website.

Just like in the good old days -- you now have the opportunity to contribute your reflections on the sichos being learned every week, and have them published in a kovetz ha'oros. Email by Thursday at noon ET to submit your haoros for publication.

THE FIRST 71 FOR 71 YEARS

As we go into the final month before Yud Shevat, 71 years of the Rebbe's Nesius, and completing 1 year of learning, and 5 full volumes of, Likkutei Sichos, we must continue as the Rebbe teaches Maalin Bakoidesh to increase in holiness. To do that properly, we are going to need your help.

This year, 19 Teves, (January 3, 2021) will be "Project Likkutei Sichos Campaign Day" to promote awareness and financial support for the Project.

If you would like to be one of the first 71 teams to partake in this amazing inititiatve to help us gear up for this special day by leading a team in this grand campaign please email us. Together, we could take this project to the next level, and beyond.

THANK YOU!
