Today, 2 Iyar, marks the birthday of the fourth Rebbe of Chabad, Rabbi Shmuel of Lubavitch, known as the Rebbe Maharash.
A famous adage of Rabbi Shmuel, often quoted and emphasized by the Rebbe: “The world says that if you face a challenge, first try to climb under it, if you cannot crawl under, then try climbing over it. But I say, ‘Lechatchila Ariber! – In the first place, go over!'”
In honor of this special day, JEM presents some videos connected to the Rebbe Maharash.
Thanks very much for always posting these snippets of farbrengens from years past, it’s such a warm feeling to see them. 🙂
I personally would prefer not to have music playing over the Rebbe’s voice, for example in the first video I would much rather have been able to clearly hear the Rebbe counting the omer. Would it be possible to give the viewer a choice?
