Join us for our annual dinner of 19 Kislev, New year of Hassidout Chabad!
The 19th of Kislev, an important holiday in the Chassidic tradition, is regarded as the “Chassidic Rosh Hashanah.” It commemorates the day on which Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the Alter Rabbi, was released from imprisonment by the Tsar of Russia. Zalman had been in prison under false treason charges, and his release is regarded as the moment when his teachings of Chabad were elevated from mysticism to a proper religious practice in the eyes of the people. It is a day often celebrated with religious debate and study, as well as taking on resolutions of spiritual improvement in the coming year.
