Every year since 5731 the Rebbe would conduct a Farbrengen to celebrate Chamishah Asar BiShevat.
Just in time for this year’s festival, JEM has released the Rebbe’s Farbrengen of 15 Shevat 5741 (1981). Fully restored and subtitled in 6 languages, the 3 hour Farbregen is now accessible to all.
Visit Jewish.TV for more Jewish videos.
The new release was generously sponsored by Rabbi Mordechai & Simcha Abergel, Rabbi Netanel Moshe & Odelia Rivni, and Chabad of Singapore.
The topics addressed in the Farbrengen include:
Celebrating Potential – The Lesson of the Holiday’s Date
Addressed at Sinai – The Value of Every Additional Jewish Child
Marriage Ushers – New Depth in Wedding Traditions
Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim has published supplementary materials to help the viewer prepare and follow along during the Farbrengen, which include:
Booklets in English, Yiddish & Hebrew which include full transcripts of the farbrengen, a detailed summary of each sicha as well as review questions.
A card with a synopsis of each sicha in English & Hebrew.
