Following a recent loss in the Lubavitcher community, Rabbi Yossi Paltiel delivered a two-part Shiur offering clarity and comfort through the lens of Torah and Chassidus. The powerful talks explore how a Yid processes grief—not by escaping pain, but by engaging with it through the deep wellsprings of our Mesorah.
Rabbi Paltiel explains that mourning, according to Chassidus, is not about suppressing emotion but about navigating it with structure, sincerity, and meaning. He also unpacks the significance of the Halachos and Minhagim of Aveilus—such as sitting Shiva and saying Kaddish—not as mere rituals, but as vital tools for emotional healing and spiritual elevation.
The Shiurim highlight the role of Emunah, community, and Avodas Hashem in the healing process, showing how Chassidus encourages a person to face loss honestly, while never losing sight of the hope and strength that Yiddishkeit provides.
These timely words are a source of Nechama for anyone dealing with loss and are relevant to all who wish to deepen their understanding of the Jewish approach to Aveilus.
The Shiur is available below and can also be found on major podcast platforms, including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
