A Rational Approach to
the Torah’s Divine Origin

Rabbi Lawrence Kelemen
( 'movie version' )

article

mp3

"The Torah is aware of its uniqueness and unabashedly offers this challenge to every Jew who has lived since Sinai:

You might inquire about times long past, going back to the time God created man on earth [exploring] one end of the heavens to the other. See if anything as great as this has ever happened, or if the like has ever been heard. Has any nation ever heard God speaking out of fire, as you have, and still survived? (Devarim 4:32–33)"

12 Tammuz Gathering
with the Lubavitcher Rebbe, ztz"l

Footage from the Rebbe’s 1985 gathering in celebration of the birthdate (in 1880) of his father-in-law, the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, R. Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, and the Sixth Rebbe’s release from Soviet incarceration (1927). The Sixth Rebbe was imprisoned for spreading Judaism in the Soviet Union.

Look at the programme to the right of the film to see the event's structure.

This is an extraordinary recording, informative and compelling.
I'm not a 'Chabadnik,' but one does not need to be one to appreciate the Rebbe's Torah greatness and purity of spirit, and be impressed with his energy and stamina.
