On Lag B'Omer we celebrate the end of the disrespect which the Chasidim (of Rabbi Akiva) had for one another...
Thus ending the pandemic which struck them.
This Talmudic Tale is so real for us Lubavitchers.
Like Rabbi Akiva, our Rebbe campaigned for אהבת ואחדות ישראל.
Like his students, we struggle with mutual respect.
How can we truly respect a fellow Chabadnik with whom we emphatically disagree?!
Lubavitch ("The City of Love") has been wrestling with this dilemma - and it's consequences - for decades...
And soon we're approaching 30 years to Gimmel Tammuz, רחמנא ליצלן !
It's about time we found a new way forward.
We urgently need a paradigm shift.
If you're open to discovering a novel approach - based entirely on Chabad Chasidus - which will change the way you see things (within yourself, the world, and) our Chabad community,
If Achdus HaChasidim is something you care deeply about, and have the conviction that it is critical for us to achieve the breakthrough to Geulah - but you can't fathom a compromise in your belief system (which is a good thing!),
If you're ready for a Paradigm Shift with regard to Oneness in Chabad,
Sign up today for a 6-week Gimmel Tammuz Hachono: the "Oneness in Chabad" course.
Each Sunday for 1 hour
we will study a curriculum on Oneness, culled from Chasidus texts.
You are guaranteed to come away with a new lens on the situation, a fresh perspective.
You will come to the Rebbe on Gimmel Tammuz having spent 6+ hours dwelling on Oneness and Unity in Chabad - is there a better Hachono?!
Lag B'Omer is the perfect day to join fellow Chasidim in a journey toward Unity and Oneness, where you'll learn how to hold on to your beliefs and simultaneously have respect for those with a very different one.

ABOUT THE COURSE:
The course will take place online (Zoom Webinar), and you can join from anywhere. Participants will not be visible to allow everyone to feel comfortable. While a group discussion and interaction is ideal, it may alienate many who prefer anonymity at this time, and we are looking to open this up to the widest audience of Anash, from "across the spectrum".
Since this will be in webinar format, both men and women may participate.
COST:
Your investment is $36 for a 6 session course. It's really nominal and will ensure your participation and commitment.
Attendees who complete the course will get a booklet of the curriculum to keep for review.
Each week a PDF will be shared of that week's content.
PRESENTER:
Michoel Goldman
Michoel is passionate about unity and oneness.
For the Rebbe's 100th birthday he was instrumental (with a team) in bringing together 10,000 Anash from across the spectrum of Lubavitch in an unprecedented show of unity.
For the last 15 years he's been researching and developing content on Oneness and this course is the result.
The course has been piloted in small groups of Anash/Shluchim in recent years and each time it's produced an incredible breakthrough with participants.
This is the first time it's being offered online.
