The Alter Rebbe’s Life, As Told by the Rebbe

In honor of Chof Daled Teves, JEM’s Ashreinu app has compiled a beautiful collection of audio clips on an interactive timeline, documenting the stories and lessons from the Alter Rebbe’s life shared by the Rebbe.

For the first time, hear the Rebbe expound on the life, times and printed works of the founder of Chassidus Chabad.

“As a child, the Alter Rebbe was known to spend time in the field early in the morning, enjoying the fresh morning air.

“Early on in life, a person has had less exposure to things that cause strife and confusion later.  This is the special power of the youth.”

Over many years of Farbrengens, the Rebbe related numerous stories and insights into the Alter Rebbe’s life, teaching Chassidim lessons that can be learned from the life of the founder of Chassidus Chabad.
