Week's Roundup - The Torah's Eternal Message About Divinely Powered Defiance
Highlights from this week's learning and events; An eternal message from the Torah about how G-d Al-mighty wants the Torah message of His Divine Wisdom to reach every single man, woman and child.
Did you know that the Torah has an eternal Divine Message that applies to every single human being? Authentic Torah learning grounds us in reality, both what we can observe and what is beyond our observation, grasp and even understanding, and leads to practical positive action. Positive for us and positive for those around us. Torah reveals our Divine Innate Spiritual Compass and brings our Spiritual Backbone to the forefront of life.
If you have adopted some or all of Enlightenment thinking, learning Torah will challenge everything you believe and hold dear.
In each Week’s Roundup, you will find a special topic, links to this week’s learning, the Torah perspective on current events, upcoming learning and action suggestions. This week we embrace the Divine grounding from which we are invincible and unmovable. Learn, take hope and take action, and share.
Faced with a death sentence in Soviet prison, the Previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneerson, defied the prison rules, defied his captors, and, upon his miraculous release, increased the very activities that triggered his arrest.
In the following video, I highlight the source of his power, how this power is available to every human being and how using this power breaks those who fight against G-d Al-mighty.
Rabbi Schneerson saw everything as the reality of the Torah verses, “Here Israel, the L-rd G-d Al-mighty, Our G-d, the L-rd G-d Al-mighty is One” (Deuteronomy 6:4) and “You have been Shown to Know that the L-rd G-d Al-mighty is the Al-mighty One and there is nothing other than Him” (Deuteronomy 4:35) and “Know this day and take to your heart that the L-rd G-d Al-mighty is G-d Al-mighty in the heavens above and on the earth below, and there is nothing else.” (Deuteronomy 4:39).
Not only that there is no other G-d, there is nothing other than G-d Al-mighty.
He thus saw his Communist captors as what they really are, created by G-d Al-mighty, carrying out G-d Al-mighty’s instructions at this very moment to propel him even more thoroughly into the awareness that there is nothing besides G-d Al-mighty.
While on one hand there is nothing to be afraid of because there is nothing but G-d Al-mighty, G-d Al-mighty wants us to be in action to bring this awareness to every human being including those misguided ones fighting against G-d Al-mighty.
The Rebbe’s defiance was not a defiance for the sake of defying the Communists. Rather, he could only think, speak and act according to his recognition that there is nothing besides G-d Al-mighty and, therefore, he absolutely could not do anything that would accord any authority to the Communists over his soul, his mind, his heart or his body.
To accord authority and power to the Communists even in the most minute detail, but one manifestation of Amalek, is to deny the Oneness of G-d Al-mighty.
The reality is that there is no other power or force other than G-d Al-mighty so no recognition can be accorded any other person or power or force.
And thus, the Rebbe broke the back of the Communists. Even though, over the 96 years since his release, it appears that the Communists have frantically expanded their hold over larger and larger swaths of humanity, to the great devastation of the human population and civilization, nonetheless, the Rebbe’s unyielding actions in accordance with G-d Al-mighty’s Spirit and Will, while under the fist of the Communists in their own prison, set the example for the 8 billion of us exactly what we are all called to do.
And, that call includes not only those of us who wish to do G-d Al-mighty’s Will but also those who are currently actively trying to confuse humanity with Enlightenment teachings, removing G-d from schools and terrorism — those very people themselves have the opportunity to defect right now from their actions in service of Amalek to the revealed service of G-d Al-mighty. You can watch the call for them to defect now here:
Be sure to forward this article and these videos, particularly to those who seem entrenched in advancing the anti-G-d, anti-human agenda in any one of its many distracting details. Each one of them is just bursting inside to defect to G-d Al-mighty’s blessing and joy of expansion.
And, please share your comments and questions below!
Shabbos is coming, a reminder for every human being that they are an intentional creation of G-d Al-mighty right now and a continuing beneficiary of His Love, His Joy and His Abundance! What an incredible moment to increase even more in joy!

Well the Jew does save, but they are just fixated on one Jew, instead of realizing that the Prophets point to ALL the Jews being of service to their fellow human beings to make it known the Oneness of G-d Al-mighty and that every human being is lovingly being recreated every moment by G-d Al-mighty in His Divine Image. So just keep lovingly do the job of a Jew and the message will get through!
Rabbi, do you know how much Jew hatred there is on Substack? I have been trying to counter it. I have decided that it is an impossible task. So many lies, so many misconceptions. It’s a continuation of 78 years of the same old, old. I have decided that for my own sanity to withdraw from it all. I know the truth. If you think that you are going to ever convince the Christians that their salvation was not in the Jew, Jesus you are kidding yourself. The worse the world gets, the more dug in they get that the hope is Jesus saves. And we are the cause of all the world’s problems. It’s tragic really.
