Title: The New-Year of Chassidim
Post by: muman613 on December 11, 2014, 02:02:19 AM

Today, the 19th of Kislev, happens to be the 'New Year of Chassidus' according to Chabad custom.

I did not know that until a short while ago and now it figures that my rabbi was giving to a 'Farbrengen' this evening and he asked if I was coming. I was unable to make it as I work late and far away from home (and my rabbis home).

Here is a video on the topic:

Rabbi Shnuer Zalman of Ziadi was quite an influence on the Lubavitch movement.
