Thinking about the Rebbe

Yud Shevat is coming up. Known among Chassidim as Rosh Hashanah for Hiskashrus. So maybe we should think about the Rebbe.

The thing is, how do I think about the Rebbe? What exactly am I supposed to be thinking? The Rebbe's Torah? Greatness? Miracles? Ahavas Yisrael?

Maybe this: What is my connection to the Rebbe? What is it of the Rebbe that talks to me? Because I know I have a story. A story to tell about The Rebbe. And about Chabad and Chassidus and Yiddishkeit. My story. I chose to be frum and a chassid. But why? Why did I choose it? When was the last time I thought about it?

This year Yud Shevat means to me, to rip open my heart and look inside. Find out why I care about the Rebbe and what's my story.

I find it hard to go there and even harder to get there. What do I ask myself? How do I get in touch with that part of me, that's a burning flame? I know it's there. And this year I pray that I be able to come in touch with it.
