Just as Parshas Devarim marks the Jewish people's descent from the miraculous existence of the wilderness into ordinary life in the Land, Shabbos Chazon teaches that every descent into physicality is ultimately for the sake of a greater ascent and a more permanent dwelling place for Hashem. The extraordinary joy of Shabbos Chazon reflects the hidden reality that the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash is itself part of the process that leads to the eternal redemption, where every apparent loss ultimately produces an even greater gain. Like a teacher who momentarily withdraws from a student in order to grasp an even deeper insight to share, Hashem's seeming concealment during exile is itself an expression of His deepest love, calling us to strengthen our yearning for Him until the final redemption. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Devarim in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2. 📄 PDF of Sicha: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/4c9ee50... 📄 PDF of Sicha in English by SIE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iT2g... 📖 Buy Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2 at Kehot: https://store.kehotonline.com/prodinf...

The 42 wilderness journeys represent the continuous human obligation to treat yesterday's spiritual plateaus as today's limitations and to constantly move forward, whether climbing to higher spiritual rungs or breaking out of a low state with a single step.This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Matos-Masei in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2. 📄 PDF of Sicha: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/08c4f08... 📄 PDF of Sicha in English by SIE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13XsO... 📖 Buy Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2 at Kehot: https://store.kehotonline.com/prodinf...

The Menorah reflects both the diversity and unity of the Jewish people—many distinct paths joined in a single mission to radiate divine light and revealed love into the world. From the laws of the Menorah we learn that every Jew has a role in igniting the flame of other Jews, but the method must remain faithful to the Rebbe’s directive and rooted in the highest standards of Pnimiyus HaTorah. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Behaaloscha in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2. 📄 PDF of Sicha: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/18479c1... 📄 PDF of Sicha in English by SIE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NqEO... 📖 Buy Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2 at Kehot: https://store.kehotonline.com/prodinf...

The Sotah serves as the archetype for understanding the soul’s relationship with Hashem: even when there is distance or straying, the bond itself remains unbroken, and through teshuvah the rupture can become the source of even deeper connection. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Naso in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2. 📄 PDF of Sicha: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/543b82a... 📄 PDF of Sicha in English by SIE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13l-D... 📖 Buy Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2 at Kehot: https://store.kehotonline.com/prodinf...

True oneness is achieved not by avoiding multiplicity, but by harmonizing seemingly opposite forces under a single, divine reality. Torah study possesses an intrinsic, boundless value that transcends practical application, serving as the ultimate unifier between a Jew and the Creator. Shavuos is a propitious time to establish unwavering resolutions in daily study cycles, specifically through the tracking of Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya. Giving the Torah in a desolate wilderness teaches that one must dive directly into intensive study immediately, rather than waiting for material or personal affairs to be perfectly organized. Pure obedience and physical action, such as marching on Tahalucha to share knowledge with others, allow a person to transcend the inherent limitations of intellect and emotion. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Shavuos in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2.

Counting reveals the paradox that in holiness, quantity itself leads to quality. Even in a spiritual wilderness, we are meant to live a fully holy life—especially in the home and in the earliest stages of a child’s education. True Jewish unity means uniting around Torah and mitzvos. Ahavas Yisrael is described on three levels—by the Baal Shem Tov, the Maggid, and the Alter Rebbe—each revealing a deeper way to love another Jew. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Bechukosai in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2. 📄 PDF of Sicha: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/9387f91... 📄 PDF of Sicha in English by SIE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ov0v... 📖 Buy Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2 at Kehot: https://store.kehotonline.com/prodinf..

The month of Iyar is uniquely defined by the mitzvah of counting the Omer, which creates a state of total alignment where every day becomes equally holy. Spiritual growth moves through three phases—initial rescue from above (Nissan), active refinement of the animal soul’s passions (Iyar), and ultimate integration with the Divine (Sivan). The halachic nature of counting Sefira reveals that even if our current efforts feel limited, they possess the unique power to build the reality of the future redemption. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Emor in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1. 📄 PDF of Sicha: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/538877d... 📄 PDF of Sicha in English by SIE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eMXb... 📖 Buy Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1 at Kehot: https://store.kehotonline.com/mobile/...

In this famous letter to Israeli President Yitzchak Ben-Tzvi, the Rebbe explains that wealth and influence are divinely entrusted responsibilities, obligating one to actively strengthen Torah and Jewish identity. Beyond this, the letter offers a rare personal glimpse, as the Rebbe shares his lifelong vision of redemption and explains why he avoids the title “president,” reflecting his deep, authentic sensitivity to the pain of the Jewish people in exile.

The Rebbe acknowledges the writer’s improved health but challenges his confusion about priorities. Despite clear guidance, he is misreading his situation and considering reducing his involvement in Chabad. The Rebbe insists his true purpose is to focus on spiritual work in his current place, not pursue distracting alternatives for livelihood. Parnassah will follow with less struggle, while avoiding this path only adds unnecessary complications and concealment. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-29.pdf

In the first letter, the Rebbe responds to someone overwhelmed by a new position, claiming he has no time for learning, serving Hashem, or helping others. The Rebbe firmly rejects this, reminding him that a Jew’s purpose is to serve his Creator. In the second letter, the Rebbe discourages the letter writer's practice of fasting, explaining that Chassidus does not promote afflicting the body. True avodah is refining the animal soul—through restraint in behavior, speech, and interpersonal conduct—without harming one’s health, thereby preserving strength for Torah and mitzvos. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-27-28.pdf

Addressing the letter writer's concerns about balancing outreach with his own son’s education, the Rebbe emphasizes that fulfilling the mitzvah of influencing others will not harm his child’s chinuch—on the contrary, it will enhance it through the principle of mitzvah goreres mitzvah.

Pesach is supposed to be a time of freedom—but for many parents raising sensitive or easily overwhelmed children, it can feel like anything but. In this webinar, Rabbi Shais Taub and Dr. Ilyssa Bass address the real challenges of preparing for Pesach with a “complex child”—kids who feel things more intensely, struggle with transitions, and can become overwhelmed by the demands of Yom Tov. No unrealistic expectations. No “perfect child” fantasy. Just practical clarity for a calmer, more manageable Pesach. Rabbi Shais Taub is the creator of Soul Parenting and has guided thousands of parents with a Torah-based approach to raising children. Dr. Ilyssa Bass is a psychologist and leading expert helping Jewish families parent children with complex needs. To register for our upcoming course: https://www.drilyssabass.com/joy

The Rebbe responds regarding a Chabad-affiliated agricultural school, emphasizing that its standards and spirit must fully align with Chabad values without compromise. The institution should not lower its standards for students who do not adhere to them. However, guidance should be given pleasantly—educating and inspiring rather than rejecting. The focus should be on promoting the positive through Chassidic farbrengens, stories, and niggunim, while maintaining appropriate safeguards.

One must recognize that involvement in the Rebbe’s work is a personal merit, not a favor being done. As long as one feels otherwise, no persuasion will help. Honest reflection and humility will lead to clarity, cooperation, and a more peaceful, productive path. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-24.pdf

In response to a letter proposing that identifying certain nations as lost tribes could hasten Moshiach, the Rebbe emphasizes that our direction must come from Torah and its clear guidance. Rather than pursuing speculative approaches, our focus should be on what Chazal teach—that redemption depends on teshuvah and good deeds. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-23.pdf

The Rebbe writes to Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Small, acknowledging his longstanding connection to Chabad and asking him to support relief efforts for Sephardic Jews in crisis. Beyond the immediate need, the Rebbe emphasizes a broader principle: in matters of ahavas Yisrael, there is no concern for competition—on the contrary, one should welcome and encourage others to join and even expand the work. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-22.pdf

The first letter addresses a man overwhelmed by overthinking. The Rebbe urges him to stop analyzing his inner state and instead live simply: care for the body, act with sincerity, and begin without overplanning. The second letter teaches that how we look at others shapes them—seeing with a generous eye draws out their best and brings true nachas.

A young man asks if he should follow his own preference as to where to study and is gently but firmly redirected: a yeshiva bachur is not guided by personal will, but by the guidance of his teachers. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-19.pdf

In this letter, the Rebbe thanks the noted Hebrew author Eliezer Steinman for writing about Chabad Chassidus—but then adds a deeper point. To write about something truthfully, it’s not enough to understand it intellectually. You have to live it. Only when an idea becomes part of your own experience can you express it in a way that resonates most effectively with others. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-18.pdf

The Rebbe responds to a report of someone feeling spiritually discouraged. He explains that a feeling of brokenness can sometimes be constructive—like a seed that must first decay in the ground before it can grow—but only if it leads to renewed effort and increased action in Yiddishkeit. If, however, it weakens a person’s resolve and diminishes their activity, it is not healthy bitterness but harmful sadness. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-17.pdf

A man writes that he has “never seen good in his life.” The Rebbe sharply challenges this claim: a person blessed with a spouse and children walking in the path of Torah cannot call himself deprived. Ingratitude blinds one to visible blessings—and may itself block further blessing in health and livelihood. Gratitude and joy reopen the channel.

In a powerful letter to an educator discouraged by what he perceived as a lack of success in influencing his students, the Rebbe explains why despair is more dangerous than being overly satisfied. Influence, especially on youth, is never wasted—even if the results only become visible years later. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-15.pdf

The first letter of the evening, to a yeshiva bachur, explains how acceptance of Hashem’s yoke begins with disciplined adherence to the yeshiva’s daily schedule, without exceptions—even for seemingly holy reasons. Consistent structure, he explains, gradually cultivates genuine inner submission and spiritual growth. In tonight's second letter, the Rebbe addresses the letter writer’s discouragement about finding a match, insisting both the possibility and the path exist—and urging him not to delay pursuing a shidduch through proper intermediaries. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-13-14.pdf

When a person feels a strong urge to help the public, how can he know if the motive is truly pure? The Rebbe explains why overanalyzing intentions can actually block good action—and offers a practical test for recognizing when a thought comes from a healthy source. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-12.pdf

The Rebbe firmly redirects a writer who had become interested in mystical “segulos,” urging him to abandon such paths and return to a far more reliable source of wisdom. In the same letter, he also challenges the writer’s assumption that he lacks the ability to make a meaningful difference in helping others. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-11.pdf

When people unexpectedly come into one’s life, it may reflect a deeper spiritual purpose. Just as physical food contains a divine spark that nourishes the soul, encounters between people can be opportunities to help another Jew strengthen their connection to Yiddishkeit. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-10.pdf

The brothers reflect on the structure of Jewish mourning, the experience of saying Kaddish three times a day, and some of the strange, funny, and sometimes questionable moments that happen during Shiva. Along the way they explore the psychological wisdom built into the halachos of Aveilus, the strange transitional period of Aninus, and why communal prayer can become an unexpected tool for processing grief. They also share stories—from cryptozoology museums to Shiva pranks—and reflect on how humor and structure help people navigate difficult moments in life.

The challenges facing Jewish youth have not disappeared—they have simply changed their disguise. The Rebbe warns that modern spiritual tests can be even more dangerous precisely because they appear clothed in the language of holiness. Looking back at earlier generations, he explains why Torah study alone was not enough, why even mussar proved insufficient, and why the inner fire of Chassidus became the force that enabled young people to withstand the storm. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-09.pdf

A student writes in despair, convinced his spiritual struggles prove failure. The Rebbe rejects this conclusion entirely. Inner turmoil is not proof of weakness—it can be the very fuel for powerful spiritual awakening. The key, he explains, is to stop endless self-analysis and redirect energy into action: helping others grow in Torah and mitzvos, maintaining the discipline of yeshiva life, and becoming a living example for one’s peers. Through this, the confusion itself becomes a catalyst for growth. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-08.pdf

In the first letter of this class, the Rebbe acknowledges news about the beginning of Tomchei Temimim activities and blesses their success in spreading the wellsprings of Chassidus. He objects to delaying sharing Chabad teachings with someone until after leaving the hospital, explaining that both healing and Torah study should not be postponed. In the second letter, the Rebbe responds to a student who feels he has not changed after a year of study. The Rebbe explains that a person cannot judge himself objectively and attributes such discouragement to the yetzer hara. He insists real change must have occurred and advises practical steps to deepen spiritual growth. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-06-07.pdf

The Rebbe responds to a teacher who feels less motivated to teach a weaker class than the previous year’s students. The Rebbe explains that the opposite should be true: students with fewer abilities should inspire greater dedication, since a person’s purpose is to elevate their unique portion of the world using the talents Hashem gave them. Educating such students fulfills this mission and brings special reward. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-days-30-letters-5.pdf

The Rebbe urges a father to dedicate real time and energy to influencing his family with warmth and closeness, stressing that this is a matter of holiness and the continuity of the Jewish people. Time devoted to one’s family is not a loss, but a sanctification of time itself, bringing further blessing and holiness. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-4.pdf

The letter responds to someone who says he lacks time and focus for spiritual matters and imagines things would improve if circumstances were different. The reply challenges this, noting that if one can concentrate on intellectual matters, one can do so for the Divine soul as well. Each person is placed in a specific time and situation with the strengths needed to fulfill their mission; speculating about alternative scenarios only weakens present responsibility. Instead, one must choose action in the current reality, especially as one connected to Chassidus is empowered to do so.

The letter praises the recipient’s efforts but says they are far below what is truly possible—especially in Eretz Yisrael today. It points out that even secular leftist movements succeed because they act with passion, discipline, unity, sacrifice for the collective, and obedience to leadership—qualities Chassidus demands for holy work—while Chassidim often fail to fully harness the blessing available to them due to complacency or division. PDF Link: https://www.soulwords.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/30-letters-30-days-2.pdf

The Rebbe urges that in communal matters—especially chinuch—one must not rely on personal opinion or local entanglements, but listen to objective guidance from above. Just as people seek expert counsel in private affairs, how much more so must they heed the Rebbe’s direction in matters affecting the many. The Igros Kodesh are the published volumes of the Rebbe’s correspondence with people from every background and stage of life—addressing subjects ranging from profound scholarly matters to everyday concerns of health, family, finances, and emotional struggle—through which we gain a rare glimpse into how the Rebbe approached life itself, and from which we learn how to look at our own lives through that lens. For the thirty days leading up to 11 Nissan, the Rebbe’s birthday, join us each night for a live class with Rabbi Shais Taub exploring another letter from Igros Kodesh.

Join of a 22 Shvat farbrengen in honor of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka, livestreamed from the SoulWords House with Rabbi Shais Taub and special guest Rabbi Manis Friedman.

In this powerful lecture marking the shloshim (30-day memorial) of his mother, Rivkah bas Avraham obm, Rabbi Shais Taub weaves personal memory with Torah insight in a way that is both intimate and intellectually arresting. Drawing on his mother’s life as a speech pathologist, he explores what it truly means that the human being is defined by speech—how words emerge from the deepest levels of the soul, and how language can shape identity and destiny. Along the way, he shares formative childhood stories, including how she taught him to write, the first (and last) time he ever lied to her, and the quiet moments of parenting that profoundly shaped his inner life. The lecture moves beyond biography into unexpected territory, tracing a line from Tanya and Onkelos’ description of the human soul as a “speaking spirit” to modern linguistic theory. Rabbi Taub recounts how his mother found support for Noam Chomsky’s ideas about language in the writings of the Alter Rebbe, including a clip from Rabbi Taub’s own conversation with Chomsky. He also reflects on her lifelong love of Chabad niggunim—first learned as a teenager from Zalman Schechter—and her remarkable positivity through twelve years of serious illness. Timed to Tu B’Shvat, the lecture becomes a meditation on the power of gratitude and positivity.

Rabbi Shais Taub sits down with Dr. Stephen Shaya, a Chaldean physician, visionary, and philanthropist from Detroit. Dr. Shaya shares his remarkable story, from his family's ancient roots in Iraq's Mesopotamian heritage, to his global work in healthcare innovation and humanitarian outreach, and his first visit to the Rebbe's Ohel that deeply moved him. Together, Rabbi Taub and Dr. Shaya explore the intersection of faith, science, and purpose - discussing how the Rebbe's teachings inspire people of all backgrounds to bring light, compassion, and healing into the world.

12 Pesukim for Parents is a new series in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Twelve Pesukim. In this first class, we explore the opening verse—Torah Tziva Lanu Moshe—and the Rebbe’s vision behind teaching these verses to children. This class helps parents understand what Torah Tziva truly means: conveying to our children the preciousness of Torah. Each video in this series will uncover another pasuk, offering insight into how parents can bring the Rebbe’s vision to life in their homes.

Rabbi Shais Taub is joined by Yitzchok Aharon Pinkesz, author of Kosher Astrology: A Jewish Guide to Celestial Wisdom to explore one of the most misunderstood topics in Jewish thought. Together, they discuss what astrology really means through the lens of Torah and how to distinguish kosher astrology from forbidden practices, and what role the stars and constellations play in shaping our spiritual path. You’ll even hear Rabbi Taub’s own astrological chart.

In Part 3 of "High Holidays & the 12 Steps," we explore the themes of joy and interconnectedness as embodied in Sukkos and Simchas Torah. Discover why these are considered the "highest holidays," representing the culmination of Rosh Hashanah's surrender and Yom Kippur's atonement, and how they relate to practicing spiritual principles in all aspects of life.

In honor of Vov Tishrei, the yahrzeit of the Rebbe's mother, Rebbetzin Chana, this class delves into a profound teaching from Likkutei Sichos (Vol. 19, pp. 291-297). The Rebbe revolutionizes our understanding of prayer, drawing lessons from the prophetess Chana's example to reveal how asking for our needs can be the ultimate expression of our connection to the divine. Discover how this perspective deepens our approach to prayer and strengthens our bond with Hashem.

Part 2 of "High Holidays & the 12 Steps" looks at Yom Kippur and the mechanics of "at-one-ment." Getting rid of our character defects isn't just about cleaning house; it first requires a fundamental surrender to a Higher Power.

Part 1 of High Holidays & the 12 Steps: spiritual prep for the Jewish New Year through the lens of recovery. In this Rosh Hashanah class, we explore surrender, vision, and beginning again—translating core 12-step ideas into practical avodah for the Days of Awe. Part 2: Yom Kippur. Part 3: Sukkos.
