Moshiach NOW!!!
Fantastic, thank you so much! 🙂
After listening to so many of Rabbi Kaplan’s speeches on Chabad.org which speak to chabad house people and more modern groups, it’s nice to see the “chassidesh” side of him.
Feeling proud of Toronto.
Yechi Hamelech!
Thank you Rabbi Kaplan. I think that it is imperative that every chosid should read the sicho in chelek 26, Shemos 1.
I just remind myself that the story of the AR and the Ari zal has an introduction. There was a chosid that the AR told him that he can ask him whatever he has to. The Miteler Rebbe took this opportunity and send the chosid to ask the AR if he ever saw the Ari zal and if he will tell you how is it possible the Ari zal was hundreds of year before? you should insist and ask him if he did.

Mendel! As always Incredible! Thank you collive.com for posting.
Der Rebbe lebt! Yechi adoinainu moirainu vrabeinu!!
I attended a number of farbrengens and heard a number of shiurim in honor of Gimmel Tammuz, and as a whole, this was the most outstanding of them all. The title is a bit misleading — Rabbi Kaplan’s ikar is not about the priest, even if the story is to the point. Rabbi Kaplan, thank you for going out of your comfort zone and sharing the personal story at the end that embarrassed you a bit — it was very special to me. Chazak!
You missed the point.
As we get ready to greet Moshiach at any moment, in addition to learning from the Rebbe , we need to spread the Rebbe’s teaching/chassidus to the rest of the world.
The moral of the story is that the non-Jewish Priest wants to learn from the Rebbe and to help spread the Rebbe’s teaching! The whole world needs to connect to the truth and is helping us to fulfill our shlichus.
Did you take the time To listen to the story?
WOWWWWWWWWWWW
WORTH EVERY SECOND
BRILLIANT
WARM
TZU DER ZACH
WILL SEND IT OUT TO EVERYONE
THANK YOU

I wonder if there is anything worth learning from our Rabbeim or Sages, not priests (no offense but we have such a wonderful history, I’m sure there some)
This story was told by the Rebbetzn Nechomo Dina to some chasidim that used to come to a Shovues seudo and where she used to tell some stories. I would like to add and correct some details. This young person with a red beard used to always come to listen to the Magids Toire right before the start and was always an empty chair for him and right after the toire he used to disappear. On time a guest a Rabbi came and saw a empty chair and sat down. When the young person walked in and did not have… Read more »
