Inspiration

This song was written and recorded on the night we learned of the tragedy, in loving memory of the sacred souls who perished in the Mumbai terrorist attack in the Chabad House.

Terror, shock and tears…Light a Shabbat candle to rekindle the flames that have been violently extinguished.

Like Abraham and Sarah, the first Jews, they left their birthplace to travel to a far distant place offering their legendary hospitality to all.

Do you recognize the voice of the scared child calling out in the middle of the night?

There is only one thing like the love of a mother to her child...

One year ago, on April 16, 2007, amidst horror and heartbreak of the Virginia Tech Massacre, the courage of one man who gave his life to save his students awed and inspired people all over the world.

For hundreds of years--perhaps since the beginning of Creation--a piece of the world has been waiting for your soul to purify and repair it. And you are there... now.

Although today's world is a scary place, as evident from the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, one good deed can tip the scales. In Waves, hear the Rebbe explain how each deed, however insignificant it may seem, is universally important.

The Rebbe's message was as old as the Torah itself, yet his approach was as rousing as dawn. He urged each person, in personal and communal life, to never be satisfied with yesterday's achievements or today's successes, but to soar tomorrow to even greater heights.

Throughout Jewish history, through times serene and turbulent, the People of Israel looked to the Torah for guidance and stability. Only through steadfast adherence to Torah principles, - the Rebbe insisted - can Israel achieve true peace.

"But why do You hide?" I asked.
"To make room for you," G-d replied.

How do you know that something is truly one and not many parts sewn together? Try to tear it apart...

When will the Jew’s hopes and dreams be realized?
