The 26th of Sivan (Saturday night/Sunday, June 21 and 22) commemorates the passing of our teacher, mentor, sage, Elie Wiesel, of righteous memory (Eliezer ben Shlomo Halevi, ztz”l). We miss him deeply. Yet the 92NY archive of his 129 recorded lectures, ranging from 1967-2014, provides us with an incomparable source of his teaching, commentaries, songs, and hope. He constantly mined the Torah, Talmud, and Hasidic masters to display where a Jew—really, where anyone—should turn for wisdom, inspiration, and challenge.
The Relevance of Hasidism Today October 17, 1991
In a way, one might say that Hasidism is, in fact, a celebration of human presence and Jewish memory. The Rebbe and his Hasid are present to one another, remember one another, and together, they remember God, who in heaven, looks upon their togetherness with a smile... Hasidism means remembering--but then, everything else in the Jewish tradition means precisely that. What are the mitzvot, the commandments, if not ways to remember that they were given at Sinai? What is a commitment to study, if not to remember those who were our teachers?
