COLlive.com presents Shabbos Night Live, a weekly web class with Torah thought, chassidic stories and timely inspiration.
Presented by Rabbi Shmuel Butman, Executive Director of the Central Lubavitch Youth Organization (Tzach Hamerkazis) and a veteran columnist and radio broadcaster.
On this week’s program:
What did the Rebbe Maharash say about the 17 of Tammuz that is also Shabbos – like this year. And what did the Previous Rebbe add to that?
Weekly story: When the Rebbe told Rabbi Yosef Wineberg OBM that “I did not have any directives on this.”

please make adjusment on the volume, can not hear.
Its very very low rabbi BUTMANS VOICE…………PLS THE ONE WHO TAPES SHOULD MAKE IT ON THE LOUDEST & WELL ADJUST ON OUR OWN
On the lower right corner of the screen is the word “vimeo.”
to the left of that is an icon to make the video full screen. To the left of that is a series of small turquoise rectangles. This is another volume control. Make sure that they are all lit by clicking on the box that is furthest to the right.
My computer is old and slow and I can hear this program very loud and clear. You can also hear Rabbi Butman every motzei shabbos on the radio 570 AM at 10:30 P.M. This program is the same as the radio.

I meant to say that when the Bris is on Sunday (like this year) the father does not have to fast on that day and not on another day. Thank You. Shmuel Butman
