» Conquering the World
 | | |  | Elul 5, 5772 · August 23, 2012 | | Parsha | | | The Torah instructs that judges and officers are to be appointed "in all your city gates"—wherever Jews live; but that the "cities of refuge" are to be established only in the land of Israel. Why this distinction between judgement and atonement, between the law and refuge from retribution? To explain this dichotomy, the Lubavitcher Rebbe examines the deeper significance of justice and repentance, the spiritual processes involved in judging and atoning, and the locale of the "cities of refuge" in the terrain of time and in the geography of the soul.

The Rebbe believed to his core in the value of the individual. He never lost sight of each tree in the forest.
By Mendel Kalmenson |  | | | Letter | | | Sometimes we may feel that we can achieve and accomplish, as though we are "conquering the world." Can this actually be done? Or is it easier said than done?
Correspondence by Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, The Lubavitcher Rebbe | | | | Video | | | The Talmud teaches: "Let that man be remembered for good, and Rabbi Yehoshua ben Gamla is his name. Until he came, only children with fathers had the opportunity to study Torah, whereas orphans did not. But Rabbi Yehoshua established Torah schools in every province and city for all children, even as young as six and seven." | | | | | |
