Today is Chof Zayin Adar, and I’m not sure what to make out of it.
It’s been 26 long years, years of hope, belief, and anguish. Who would believe, that we would ever mark a 26th ‘anniversary’ of Chof Zayin Adar?
On that faithful Monday, we were sure it would be a matter of days if not weeks, that the Rebbe will be Gezunt and take us out of Golus. Yet, who would believe that our dream would be delayed for years, and yes, even decades.
11 months prior to the Rebbe’s stroke, the Rebbe empowered us to do all we can to bring this Golus to an end. Since that Sicha, there hasn’t been a single idea which was left undone.
Whether it was partaking in huge Kinusim, learning about Moshiach, or increasing in Hafotzas Hamayonos. In the years following Chof Zayin Adar we tried everything. And now, it’s 26 later.
Rebbe, look at your Chassidim, over the last 26 years, Lubavitch and it’s activities have reached previously unthinkable boundaries. Just take the past few weeks as an example, Davening with 2,500 CTeens in 770, and having 2000 children completing a Sefer Hamitzvos Chidon, this wasn’t even a dream before Gimmel Tammuz.
Yes, we are doing all we can.
On Wednesday, Students of Chabad schools and preschools around the world will be uniting at 10:30 AM for special rallies in honor of Chof Zayin Adar. Thy will say the 12 Pesukim, Tehillim and give Tzedakah.
But what’s life without these children seeing their Rebbe. What’s life when it sometimes feels that you are something of the past, Chas V’sholom. Why can’t our children witnesses the same Giluyim as we did. Will it always just remain a dream?..
Yes, we know that in truth Golus is the dream. But how much longer can your Chassidim dream? We are so eagerly awaiting that day, when we will awake to the news of your Hisgalus, when we will finally wake up from that dream of Golus.
עד מתי, עד מתי, עד מתי?!
Please tell me were I can purchase this picture!!!
To 18…You touch on a sensitive word….while it is referring to Tchiyas hamesim….part of that is a strong belief among chassidim that it will incorporate..the revelation of the Rebbe as Moshiach….speedily in our days…
as a litvak, i am curious what did the writer mean by “your Hisgalus”,
thank you
W/0 lengthy discussions etc etc. It is the day the Rebbe fell and our job is to pick him up . so to speak for us to to continue where he left of , to do his work . No one knows why Moshiach is not here and nor for certainty what will bring Moshiach . Hence every single thing positive we do can make it happen. And not only deed but attitude inside can as well effect geula . this is an awesome thing and halvaie we taka wanted Moshiach with all of our being it would also make… Read more »
Odd place to include your political tirade
This one line seems quite out of line with Yiddishkeit. While clearly we miss our Rebbe but we have so much in our mesorah to hold us togther. Remain strong and lets not get pulled down.
The security and welfare of our fellow Jews in Eretz Yisroel was very dear and near to the Rebbe. What a travesty that 26 years have passed and parts of Eretz Yisroel have been ceded to murderous enemies and thousands of precious Jewish lives have been lost, r”l, in the false and foolish notion of land for peace. And yet Lubavitcher Tzaddikim like HaRav Springer, zt”l and HaRav Rapp, zt”l and all of the other Chassidim and Jewish activists heeded the Rebbe’s call to stand up for Pikuach Nefesh and Shleimus HaAretz. Here is one immediate peula we can all… Read more »
For those that are still in the Galus mentality. Let go of what only Hashem is in control of – and take on this avodah that the Rebbe has so clearly stated. See response #8 for a detailed overview of what the Rebbe was demanding.

Thank you for shining a light on such powerful teachings of the Rebbe! I plan on saving this and reading it a few times iy”h.
If the ones on the top led by example by following Shulchan Oruch – and following directives of the Bais Din and not fighting for power like in the times that led up to the churban bais Mikdoshainu — Moshiach would have been here a long time ago. Alas we haven’t learn much from past experiences and like the Rebbe said people don’t really want Moshiach mit an emes. Rabbi Shlomo Ezagui.
Tznius, Chabad light?
and of course, so much good is being done and for sure Moshiach is way over-due, however, since we are still in Golus, sadly, maybe we just need to work on a few things to make it a reality. My suggestions are, let’s try to be more careful not only about not talking and thinking Loshon Horah, but not believing what we hear. I am not referring to being warned about harmful people who can R”L hurt others B’Gashmius or B”Ruchnius etc,. I’m referring to things we hear without any proof and take it as fact, when it can be… Read more »
Just reading this post , reminding us that 26 long years have already passed since that fateful chaf zayin Adar, brings forth tremendous emotion and pain – as who could believe that we are still here today, with the complete revelation of the geulah shleima nary in sight!!! You write “11 months prior to the Rebbe’s stroke, the Rebbe empowered us to do all we can to bring this Golus to an end. Since that Sicha, there hasn’t been a single idea which was left undone. ” Yet in truth, there is something major that the Rebbe had clearly stated… Read more »
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
24 YEARS, 26 YEARS – GENUG!
אמת טאקע, עס איז נישט רעכט אז מיר האבן נישט זוכה געווען צו זעהן כ”ק אדוננו מורנו ורבינו
Galus is fake news, Hashem needs to wake us up.
Thank you,
Even though no amount of words can contain our feelings
Thank you for this post.
moshiach now
Yes! Yes! Yes! THIS!!!!
