Every year, on the Rebbe’s birthday we take time to reflect on the incredible impact the Rebbe has on our lives and on the world at large. It’s a time to recommit ourselves to the ideals and values that the Rebbe held dear and give the Rebbe a present, something that will bring a great nachas ruach.
One of the most important values that the Rebbe emphasizes is the importance of learning Torah and spiritual growth. The Rebbe believes that every person has the potential to learn and grow, and that it is our responsibility to help others reach their fullest potential.
That’s where JNet comes in. JNet pairs volunteers with individuals who are looking to learn more about Torah and mitzvos. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with a fellow Jew, to learn from each other, and to grow together.
If you’re a Lubavitcher looking for a way to honor the Rebbe’s birthday, signing up to be a JNet volunteer is the perfect way to do so. By committing to just half an hour a week, you can make a huge difference in a fellow Jew’s life.
Not only will you be helping someone else grow in their knowledge and understanding of Yiddishkeit, but you’ll also be growing yourself. The process of teaching Torah and especially Chassidus is one of the most enriching experiences a person can have. You’ll gain new insights and perspectives, and you’ll deepen your own understanding of the teachings of the Rebbe.
And let’s not forget the fun and friendships that can come from being a JNet volunteer! You’ll have the opportunity to connect with people, to learn about their lives and experiences, and to build meaningful relationships that can last a lifetime.
So, as we approach the Rebbe’s birthday, let’s commit ourselves to provide a gift that the Rebbe will cherish. Let’s honor his leadership by helping others with the warmth, humor, and ahavas yisroel that our community is known for. Sign up to be a JNet volunteer today and make a difference in someone’s life!
