Alter Rebbe
We have to live with the times. Every moment is energized by a moment of eternal truth.
Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi was born on the 18th of Elul 5505 (1745) in Lithuania. The Alter Rebbe was a disciple of the Maggid of Mezrich and founded Chabad Chassidism, articulating the most sublime in the most concrete. The Alter Rebbe authored the seminal Chassidic text, Tanya, as well as writing a Shulchan Aruch, Code of Jewish Law, and compiling the Nusach Ari Siddur. The Alter Rebbe elevated his soul on 24 Tevet 5573 (1812).

“Firstly, thank you a million times over for the wellspring of wisdom and insight that you have shared with me and the world! I’ve spent the last decade of my life exploring what it means to be alive as a spirit, and over the last few years you have been a continuous refuge and motivational source in my journey. I pray that I continue down the path that you have shown, and that I merit to become a source of inspiration and life to others, as you have been to people around the world.”
-Adam Cohen
