Farbrengen 12-13 Tammuz, 5745-1985, DVD

Experience the spiritual joy and intellectual rigor of a Farbrengen with the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory. Listen as the timeless truths of the Written Law, the Talmud, Kabbalah and Chasidism are applied to issues of contemporary social and ethical concern. During pauses in the Yiddish talk, the thousands in attendance sing Chassidic melodies and the Rebbe greets them with blessings of L'Chaim! To experience a Farbrengen is to glimpse the unity of higher and lower worlds, a meeting of the Divine and the human, the mystical and the mundane, the timely and the timeless.

Jewish history is dotted with moments when the future of the entire nation stood in the balance, teetering on the outcome of a single event. In our time, the flourishing of Judaism after the Holocaust, the global Baal Teshuvah phenomenon, and the explosion of Jewish life behind the former Iron Curtain, can be traced in large part to one summer day in Leningrad, 1927...
The emissaries of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak of Lubavitch and his son-in-law and successor, the Rebbe, have been at the forefront of a worldwide Jewish revolution for almost a century. Looking back to the moment when it was all at risk of being lost, the Rebbe finds fundamental secrets to Jewish survival that cut to the very core of what it means to be a Jew in a non-Jewish world, and discusses the values and attitudes thatwill build the next generation of strong, committed Jews.
