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.
In honor of the Chof Av, the 70th yartzeit of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson, father of the Rebbe and one of the greatest Talmudic and Kabbalistic scholars of his generation.
Rabbi Butman takes viewers to the cemetery in Almaty (Alma Ata), Kazakhstan, where Reb Levik is buried and speaks about the special connection between the yartzeit and Ahavas Yisroel.
Weekly story: The story the Rebbe heard and then cried.
Film editing: Shlomo Chaim Rivkin
I love Rabbi Butman’s shiurim, I watch them every week. And the recent ones from significant overseas locations have been doubly meaningful. With all due respect to the producers however, I think the background music detracts from the content. Jews have been learning Torah for thousands of years without piano or orchestra music in the background. The music during the introductory scene and at the very end is fine, but please, not during the actual shiur.
