I grew up in Eastern Part of Russia, I am not observant but i always new I am Jewish, and always was proud of it , Russian people are very kind for most part, now days in USA it much more anti Semitic propaganda then in Russia today, respect for Rabbi's work Reply

He speaks of embers basically sparking.
But I believe it's a seed, seemingly dormant in many, but at the right time, YHWH places it in some really good soil, and then allows the early and latter rains, and then awaits to see what that seed would do, whether or not it will accept the light that shines upon it.
I love Him.
Who on earth, or in the heavens would bring us forth at the right time except YHWH? Reply

I think we should be ashamed about speaking of the inconvenience of flying to Russia or from Russia,when are so many people of Ukraine were killed and some of them are Jews.And so many people needed to left their houses and all their belongings and to flee (also Jews). Infrastructure some of the cities is destroyed,Jewish life in some of the cities is destroyed.People in Ukraine are living under the constant danger...And the flying is inconvenient... Reply

Wow amazing, how extra ordinary you all are to make the world a better place! I am inspired! If the world would only realize how special you are, how dedicated to make the world a better place! One day they will realize it but I am so thankful that through Chabad.org my eyes are opened en my heart enlightened! May Moshiach come speedily in our days, amen. Reply
