How about being nicer to each other!!! I think the women really make an effort, how about the men! Wouldn’t it be nice if they said hello to someone they see? Everyone gets excited when G-d forbid a Shliach dies, what about the Klal?

since some don't know
March 14, 2014 12:07 am

Can you please post HOW to write the Rebbe?

to 42
March 13, 2014 9:39 pm

we are not making up that tznius causes painful tragedies. the Rebbe told us clearly that our tznius has an impact on the wellbeing of every yid. we DO need to take a look when tragedy strikes and see where improvement is needed- thats what the Rebbe taught us. were not criticizing- we are bringing out the obvious- this was a clear directive of the Rebbe and since we are lacking- these tragedies can be a direct result. we each need to improve in the areas that we know are lacking and tznius (myself included) is where many of us… Read more »

why not start with one class in one girls school. let all the girls agree to keeping to modiest dress and lets see if they all get married. other communities have done this with great sucsess. if you are not happy try something new. do not give up.

The Rebbe's directive for covering of a woman's hair.
March 13, 2014 8:37 am

About 45-46 years ago 2 young children passed away from 2 Anash families in our city. When the Rebbe was informed of this he answered that the covering of hair is not strictly observed. Those women who were still wearing hats with hair showing immediately put on a shaitel and BH the Magaifa stopped.

This is it!!!
March 13, 2014 7:45 am

This is it guys the last moments of golus!!! Hashem is going to reddeem us all!!! Chap Arian in golus!!!

so, rebbe

Ahavas Yisroel to 'our own siblings'
March 13, 2014 3:44 am

We all know how uncomfortable and sad we feel when our children are fighting. Certainly this is the pain our Rebbe feels when his chassidim are not getting along due to strong opposite political views. Years ago there was an article written (in N’shei Newsletter), how two friends had such ahavas yisroel for each other, that they would not discuss their opposing political views. Let’s forget politics so we can focus on the above suggestions to bring shalom so we will surely give the Rebbe tremendous nachas and help bring an end to this painful golus. MOSHIACH NOW!!!

Talking in Shul is a biggie
March 13, 2014 2:34 am

Just this past Shabbos I was thinking if switching Shuls for this very reason. I too want to get in in the conversation but I remind myself cv, r”l of the dangers.

It's no ones fault ch"v!!!
March 13, 2014 12:54 am

There are no answers! No explanations! Only Hashem can make sense of this nightmare. No one caused it Ch”v, and looking to place blame on ourselves or others is pointless. Yes we need to take on Hachlotos -as a Zechus for those that passed away, and to bring more light into the world -with Moshiach now! Let’s storm the heavens with Hachlotos and cries of Ad Mosai! (And let’s not play the futile game blame.)

It’s just the most easiest subject to discuss.

To #18 re: Shluchim and #32 re: Tznius
March 12, 2014 11:59 pm

To #18. I am a shlucha. I identify with shluchim on that level. It’s not that others don’t feel the pain – it’s just one more level of similarity that brings the tragedy closer to home. We understand that Rashi was devoted to her community and all that entails. That she was supposed to give a Hamantash class today. That that will never happen. All her classes. Done. Over. She’s not “just” leaving behind her family and hometown. She’s left behind an entire community of mushpaim that RELIED on Rashi for their Yiddishkeit. Just as a mother understands the loss… Read more »

Another Hachlotoh suggestion
March 12, 2014 11:46 pm

Resolve to say Yes! with a smile to the next person who asks you for a favor, even though it might be really inconvenient. Even our time is a gift from Hashem–let’s use it to make His children feel special.

LET'S FACE IT!
March 12, 2014 10:56 pm

This all started with the young bochur from Russia. When the Hayom Yom talked about the RABONIM – our guides! Perhaps if they tied the knot and forgot the norishkeiten Hashem will have pity on us!!!!!!!!

Idea
March 12, 2014 10:56 pm

Men should also participate or make a separate gathering of letters. Can’t see any harm and a lot of good if we all take part as it’s done individually.

hachlata
March 12, 2014 10:45 pm

This is a great idea to do something about all these crazy tragedies! Our family has taken on a hachlata, bli neder, to learn something about Moshiach by our dinner table every night. Enough golus!!!

agree with 29
March 12, 2014 10:28 pm

all hachlatos are beautiful but here you have a clear remedy for this problem. its printed in his sefer hamamarim

To 18
March 12, 2014 10:10 pm

A Shliach is someone with a mission (a mission to bring Moshiach…by doing and encouraging others to learn Torah and do Mitzvos).

Are you not a Shliach? Are you not part of this mission?

Every Yid/Jew should be on this mission.

TZNIUS!!!
March 12, 2014 9:49 pm

Enough is enough. I am a shlucha and mother of 4 daughters. Everyone thinks our Tznius fell apart from girls from the outside or our own kids that have gone off the derech, well they are wrong! Look at US, SHLUCHOS….look how WE dress, look at our skirts, necklines, stockingless legs and feet! STOP IT and get dressed like a queen. STOP IT we are killing our own family ladies!!

Tznius!!!!!
March 12, 2014 9:38 pm

We all know this is where we are lacking most in! Lets improve!!! Our being lax in this area is causing such tzaros!!

shlucha
March 12, 2014 9:01 pm

The rebbe said in nun beis that all are shluchim

good hachlatah
March 12, 2014 8:43 pm

the frierdiker rebbe writes very clearly+: talking during davening, chazaras hashatz, kadaishim, krias hatorah… increases death and poverty among the yiden, and the danger lies upon the leaders, as the posuk states “ואשימם בראשיכם”

therefore if we want to do whats right and stop this plague, we must really publicize this in all our shulen and minyanim where the talking knows no boundaries,
people really have to know how dangerous it is to talk during davening
lets only hear good news

gr8 idea
March 12, 2014 8:05 pm

try to all be tznius, fast well, and improve on mitzvos!!

Thank you shluchim and shluchos
March 12, 2014 7:37 pm

I am not a shliach or shlucha but the shluchim and shluchos must all be feeling a lot of pain and trying to balance this with the theme of simcha in Adar. Thank you for all your hard work and may Hashem have mercy on all the shluchim and shluchos and bring Moshiach now. The gematria for shliach is sameach-to fill the void of shluchim that are no longer with us, we have to try b’ezras Hashem to be sameach.

Just An idea..........

Please take note of a very important point
March 12, 2014 6:54 pm

When writing to the Rebbe please don’t limit your writing to spiritual matters alone, also write about all the good things that are happening in your life as well, the Rebbe wants to hear from you like a father wants to hear from his child that all is good. Here is what the Rebbe writes in a letter dated 9 Elul 5721 (free translation): “I’m bewildered at (the behavior of) Anash, especially the Tmimim, that in spite of the fact that I alerted them many times that had they accustomed themselves to write good news in the revealed good, of… Read more »

The bochur from Ukraine - Gedalia - "unofficial" Shliach!
March 12, 2014 5:49 pm

The wonderful Shluchim left their unbelievable legacies in the Nefoshos they brought to yiddishkeit! To the extent that these precious, thirsting souls became unbelievable shluchim and inspiring individuals themselves! “Reu Gidulim…….”

Keep storming the Ohel with hachlotos tovos!
March 12, 2014 5:41 pm

We need to keep sending in hachlotos tovos until Moshaich comes….spread the word!

Achdus
March 12, 2014 5:38 pm

We need to unite and start performing our words and sayings.
Life is to good for some to feel others pain, don’t even know if it is possible for them to see, they are so into them self . Living a life with no sensitivity to others, their words and actions are totally in different planets. Very hurtful.
Money unfortunately is blinding many.
Lets all pray together
We may have a chance.

March 12, 2014 5:22 pm

INSTEAD OF USING THE WORD SHLIACH OR SHLUCHA USE THE WORD YID-Jew WE ARE ALL PART OF KLAL YISROEL- THERE CANNOT BE ANY SORT OF SEPERATION BETWEEN SHLUCHIM AND LAY PEOPLE. WE ARE ALL HURTING FROM THIS TZORA- DO NOT MAKE IT YOURS

How about a hachlata for tznius ?
It would require a seperate col topic to further discuss.

A concerned shlucha.

the most important thing is never to hurt anyones feelings ahavas yisroel dont ever ashame another person .love ur fellow as u love urself.its guaranteed to break the heavens and bring moshiach .say hello to smile help others.

A call to tshuva.
March 12, 2014 4:47 pm

There is a dark cloud hanging over us. Young people are dying without reason or cause. We cannot know the reasons behind it. Only G-d Almighty knows that. The only thing we know is this is an urgent call for every one of us to tshuva. Right before the fast of Ester this is a perfect time to throw out our unfavorable habits and addictions. Let each one of us speak to his fellowman with more patience and sensitivity. Spend less time reading newspapers and shtusim. Devote more time to davening and learning. Increase our determination to chitas every day.… Read more »

March 12, 2014 4:41 pm

Thank you for taking action right away!
I opened the igros today and the letter was written on Yud Adar I and the Rebbe spoke about having a very Simchadik month, especially since there are two Adars! May we only have Simchas, and the Ultimate Simcha of Moshiach NOW!!!

Thank You!
March 12, 2014 4:37 pm

Feeling so lost here at my Makom Hashlichos and trying to get ready for purim…HARD!

Is there a way to write to the Rebbe with Igrois Koidesh online?
March 12, 2014 4:36 pm

If yes, please post

We should look within
March 12, 2014 4:33 pm

Maybe its time that Chabad leadership looks and examines themselves closely to see what they did wrong that caused these tragedies. They need to self evaluate and reflect. These things dont happen in a vacuum.

What about igros kodesh
