The Current Emergency in Israel:
As the situation grows more acute in Israel and Jews are threatened by violent anti-Semitism worldwide,
 a call has been issued calling for the daily recitation of Tehillim (Psalms) by every Jew, of every
 background and affiliation. Specifically, Jews are urged to devote at least fifteen minutes a day to
this form of prayer and to recite Psalms 20, 83,121,130 and 142 during that time.

DAILY DOSE:
The Highest High
There is no greater elevation than having made it on your own.
All worlds were made, all barriers put in place, every veil over G–dliness hung,
and the soul plummeted from its pristine height into the confusion of this harsh world—
—all for this one thing alone: That you should uncover Truth on your own.
By Tzvi Freeman  
From the Rebbe,
