Reb Moshe Feinstein OBM was considered one of the greatest halachic authorities of our generation – and he owes a great debt to Chabad.
World-renowned orator and teacher Rabbi YY Jacobson has revealed this week the incredible story of how the Alter Rebbe, founder of Chabad-Lubavitch chassidism, transformed the life of Reb Moshe’s grandmother.
The story, shared by Rav Feinstein himself, tells the incredible tale of who was the classmate of the Tzemach Tzedek as a child.
Rabbi Jacobson delivered the lecture to 400 women this past Motzoei Shabbos at the 51st annual Nshei Chabad convention which took place in Southbury, Connecticut.
Speaking to Anash and Chabad house women, he addressed how Chassidus gave the Jewish people the tools to deal with the double crises created by modernity.
The lecture examines the two troubling stories of Vayeishev — Yehudah and Tamar; and Yosef and his brothers, highlighting the revolutionary approach of Chassidus to both these stories.
