    Glasses, Contacts, and Vision Loss

    While exploring letters from the Rebbe that describe Segulos for good eyesight and spiritual cures for vision loss, we also discuss the Rebbe's position on contact lenses. And, as a bonus, we demonstrate from primary sources, photographs, and paintings that a least four Chabad Rabbeim wore glasses.

    Is Fear Part of Judaism?

    Exploring the Rebbe's attitude toward "Yira Tata", a baseline fear of G-d that is usually associated with accepting the yoke of heaven and a fundamental fear of sin. In Chassidus, where our focus is often love and awe of G-d, is there room for this baseline fear? And in the month of Elul, when the King is in the field smiling at us, is Yira Tata still important?

    The Power of Tehillim

    Letters, Sichos, and stories from our Rabbeim on the power of Tehillim, covering three major points: 1) The history behind the Previous Rebbe's decree that psalms should be read after prayers and in Tehillim Groups. 2) The power of Tehillim as the ultimate Segulah for all of our needs. 3) The importance of dedicating Rosh Hashanah not to idle conversation or even Torah study, but the non-stop saying of psalms.

    Family Planning

    The Rebbe's campaign against family planning. In these letters, the Rebbe describes family planning, birth control, and the choice to space out children as a destructive ideology that undermines the foundations of the Jewish home and completely misunderstands what a gift children are. While allowing room for individual cases in which it is dangerous for the mother to get pregnant, the Rebbe pushes back against the trend to limit or delay having children for any other reason.

    Does Tznius Apply to Men?

    The importance of tznius is often expressed to women, but less so to men. The Rebbe explains the importance of modesty, and emphasizes that its rules apply to men just as women. Bonus: A deep-dive into the Rebbe's position on men wearing shorts.

    Bas Mitzvah Parties

    The Rebbe emphasizes the importance of a Bas Mitzvah, and often explains it in the same light as a Bar Mitzvah. But when it comes to Bas Mitzvah parties, the Rebbe is less enthusiastic.

    Refusing to Endorse Books

    The Rebbe refuses to issue approbations to books in many letters, routinely citing "the custom of the Rebbe's house" or lack of time to properly review the manuscript. This Shiur looks at a sample of those letters and provides a few guesses as to why our Rabbeim have the custom not to provide Haskamos, even when they clearly approve of the book being published.
