Why Was Gold Created?

Why Was Gold Created?

An address on the Previous Rebbe's 100th birthday anniversary: The Midrash teaches that G-d created gold only for the Holy Temple. Why, then, did He place gold all over the world, where it can also be used for mundane purposes? Similarly, why did G-d allow His Torah to be lowered from its loftiest heights, to the point that even someone who seeks to misuse it, can comprehend it?

Why Two and Half Tribes?

Why Two and Half Tribes?

The Secret of the Three Weeks

The saddest period in the Jewish calendar, when we mourn the destruction of the Holy Temple – amongst a litany of other national tragedies – is commonly referred to as 'The Three Weeks'. Yet, our Sages referred to this period as '21 Days'? The answer to this innocuous question reveals an astounding new depth to both the mourning period and its inevitable resolution. (Based on Sefer Hasichos 5750)
