Today: Friday, Aug. 21, 2026 | Elul 8, 5786

Sicha Sponsors:

AnonymousIn honor of the birth of Tema on Rosh Chodesh Elul, with a bracha for much chassidishe nachas from all our children and a shnas hatzlacha.

Esther WeinerInspired by the “Every Jew Is Good” sicha. For hatzlacha raba bgashmius ubruchnius for my grandchildren in the new school year, and that all morahs carry this message in our machshava, dibur and maaseh.

AnonymousInspired by the feeling of closeness in “Melech Basadeh.”

AnonymousIn honor of the birth of our granddaughter Lily. May she grow to Torah, chuppah and maasim tovim, together with her siblings and all our grandchildren, and always live with the Rebbe’s teachings. From Bubby, an avid listener who often incorporates these shiurim into her weekly divrei Torah.

Chelek Chof Tes pg 113. There’s NO Jew without good.

Chof Beis Shvat Farbregen 2026

Chelek Chof Tes pg 88. Know who YOU are and therefore the standard YOU must hold to.

Chelek Lamed Daled. Pg 51. Moshe takes full ownership to save us.

This sicha is being learned in zchus of:

Sara Fayga bas Chaya Bunia, Leeba Malka bas Chaya Bunia, Rivka Deena bas Chaya Bunia, Sima Chana Miriam bas Chaya Bunia, Shifra Bracha bas Chaya Bunia, Tova Reena bas Chaya Bunia.

and in the zchus of the shidduchim of our children and all those awaiting their bashert. May we have besuros tovos and celebrate many simchos together.

Chelek Lamed Daled pg 24. The Torah warns us not to forget what we've learned, yet if someone forgets because circumstances genuinely prevented them from reviewing, it isn't considered "forgetting" at all. Why? Because they never let go of the Torah - the Torah remained their priority. Sometimes, what looks like stepping away is actually the deepest expression of connection. Reb Zeira intentionally forgot the Talmud Bavli he had learned so he could fully absorb the Talmud Yerushalmy. Moshe broke the Luchos to preserve the Torah forever. In both cases, a temporary "loss" became the foundation for something far greater. What does Hashem want from me? Am i aligning myself with Torah as my life force? Use that as the guiding force. Am I stepping away ("forgetting") because I'm disconnecting, or because, for this moment, this is what Hashem wants from me? Sometimes moving away from something might be the strongest expression of connection.

This Week's Sicha Learning is in Honor of:

*An anonymous listener, in honor of her birthday on 6 Av, with brachos for herself and her family in all areas.

* Chaya Bunia bas Leah Frieda, whose birthday is on Tishah B'Av, wishing you a shnas bracha v'hatzlacha!

*Rochel Kaplan - l'ilui nishmas her father, Yehuda Leib ben Peretz Mochkin, whose yahrtzeit is on Tishah B'Av. In the zechus of his extraordinary mesiras nefesh in Czarist Russia, where he helped hundreds of families escape to freedom with forged papers on the last possible transport. May the zechus of this learning bring the ultimate redemption for all of Klal Yisrael, me'avdus l'cheirus, with the coming of Moshiach now.

And a heartfelt Mazal Tov to Mrs. Schapiro as we celebrate just one week until her family's upcoming chasunah! May it be a time of abundant brachos and simchos.

Chelek Lamed Daled pg 1

Sicha 270: Matos Maasei Thu. Jul. 9, 2026 | Tammuz 24, 5786 Chelek chof ches page 210

This week’s Sicha learning is in honor of:

• The Sirota family, celebrating the birth of Esther Sirota on 24 Tammuz, with wishes of L’Torah, L’Chuppah, U’Maasim Tovim and many continued simchos.
• An anonymous sponsor in honor of her birthday.
• Chana Miriam Huebner, in honor of her son Nosson’s birthday on 24 Tammuz.
• Shaina Zirkind, l’ilui nishmas Harav HaChassid R. Simcha Yerachmiel ben R. Mordechai Shachneh Zirkind, on his 11th yahrtzeit, 24 Tammuz.

• The upcoming yahrtzeit of Rabbi Vichnin, a beloved and inspiring mechanech, on 26 Tammuz.

The Rebbe teaches that the territory east of the Jordan can represent either a compromise with exile or the beginning of redemption. Gad and Reuven chose it for material reasons, but Menashe received it from Moshe as part of Hashem’s plan to extend the holiness of Eretz Yisrael and prepare for the ultimate expansion of its borders in the era of Moshiach. The key is attitude: a Jew may be sent beyond familiar boundaries on a holy mission, yet must never lose the deep love for Eretz Yisrael or become settled in golus. Like Menashe, we are called to remember our true home, reject the mentality of exile, and use every place we find ourselves to advance Moshe’s vision and bring the Geulah closer.
