Yud Tes Kislev: From Darkness to Light with Rav Shlomo Katz

We revisit a remarkable farbrengen from Yud-Tes Kislev 5739 (1978), where the Lubavitcher Rebbe reveals the origins of Yud-Tes Kislev from a source that no one expected. What does it mean when a besora—a divine message, a good tiding—descends from heaven? How does it change our relationship to Torah, to redemption, to ourselves?

Through niggunim, stories, and soul-stirring Torah, we uncover the power of heavenly communication and the responsibility that comes with receiving it.
