As Chassidim of the Rebbe worldwide steadily increase in their preparation for Gimmel Tammuz, ever present on their mind is the connection (Hiskashrus) of a Chossid to the Rebbe – especially in this day and age.
Giving insight into that connection is a brand new Whatsapp Series being launched by A Chassidisher Derher Magazine.
Starting tomorrow, 27 Sivan (June 21) and running six days through 3 Tammuz (June 27), the series gives subscribers the opportunity to get a short message on the topic straight to their phones.
“In middle of a busy day filled with work and home responsibilities, this short message of inspiration from the Rebbe really hits the spot,” said one Crown Heights businessman. “Signing up was easy and fast, and I am enjoying ever since.”

The question though is at the expense of what. (Note what the Rebbe’s said about having a tv) And I am very curious to know how that would translate, modern day technology and open internet with all the possible shmutz. Would the Rebbe’s approve of bachurim being on myriads of WhatsApp groups, in the name of “holiness” (even without the other dangers of the smartphone in the pocket
That’s not the Rebbe’s opinion on this matter,the rebbe explained how the media and things like this only help us in learning and spreading Judaism. Just imagine how much people can be reached now because of things like wattsap
The more Hiskashrus you have to WhatsApp and social media, less Hiskashrus you have to what is really important to have Hiskashrus too
I love how the Derher is constantly coming out with new initiatives and ideas.
Kol Hakovod to all who work hard to make this happen!
