In honor of the Rebbe’s 124th birthday on Yud Alef Nissan, Agudas Chasidei Chabad released a letter encouraging Anash to learn the Rebbe’s Torah, strengthen Emunah and Bitachon, study Inyanei Geulah u’Moshiach, and be active in the Rebbe’s Mivtzoim.

The following is the full text of the letter:

B”H, 8 Nissan, 5786

To our fellow Anash,

Greetings and blessings!

We stand on the threshold of the auspicious day of Yud-Alef Nissan, the 124th birthday of the Rebbe זצוקללה”ה נבג”מ זי”ע.

In the Sicha of 20 Cheshvan 5745, marking 124 years since the birth of the Rebbe Rashab, the Rebbe stated that:

“Each and every year, the concept of a birthday is effected in a renewed way… a higher divine light that has never yet shone since the beginning of time… at which time there is an increase in the mazal and the root of the soul… in a completely new manner… and it is understood that one must add in all aspects of the avodah demanded by the בעל יום ההולדת, in an even greater way than before.”

Therefore, we hereby come to encourage that each individual utilize these days to strengthen and increase in matters fulfilling the Rebbe’s directives and learning his Torah, especially:

• Studying his Sichos, Maamarim, Reshimos, and Igros Kodesh, including Kuntres Yud-Alef Nissan, the maamar “Bayom Ashtei Asar Yom” (Nissan 5749)
• Strengthening Emunah and Bitachon in Hashem, as it is written: “The Guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps,” and with thanks to Hashem for the miracles we have witnessed among our brethren in Eretz Hakodesh, together with the request to see open wonders, “like the days of your exodus from Egypt,” with the coming of the complete Geulah speedily.
• Increasing in the study of Inyanei Geulah u’Moshiach, which is “the straight path” to bring the redemption closer.
• Adding in the Rebbe’s Mivtzoim, both through the Shluchim and through the participation of each and every individual, especially in connection with the upcoming Yom Tov of Pesach—particularly Mivtza Matzah.

On Yud-Alef Nissan, a Pan Klali of all Chassidim will be placed on the holy Tziyun. Each individual can include their name and their mother’s name via: www.aguch.org/pankloli or by email: [email protected] until 2:00 PM (New York time), when it will be read.

With the commencement of saying Kapitel 125 in Tehillim “Shir Hamaalos… Habotchim BaHashem Kehar Tzion…” as explained by the Rebbe, that the source and empowerment for true and complete Bitachon comes from the פנימיות הנפש (“Tzion”), revealed in a firm and unshakable way (“Har”), so that one’s trust in Hashem is absolute-lo yimot.

And through this, we merit to see openly fulfilled: “Yerushalayim-mountains surround her, and Hashem surrounds His people from now and forever,” with Hashem’s protection over all the Jewish people wherever they may be.

May we merit very soon the fulfillment of the promise: “V’ra’u kol basar yachdav ki pi Hashem diber” with the coming of the complete and ultimate Geulah, and “V’hakitzu v’ranenu shochnei afar,” with the Rebbe in the lead, speedily in our days.

With blessings for a kosher and joyous Pesach, and true freedom,

Vaad of Agudas Chassidei Chabad Haolamis
