In light of the recent unrest and tension in Israel and the uptick in anti-semitism in the world at large, a campaign of Two Shabbatot has been launched. Our sages teach in the Talmud, that the month of Nissan is an auspicious time for Bnei Yisrael to be redeemed just like the Jews in Egypt were redeemed in the month of Nissan. It is a time destined for redemption and salvation. This though depends greatly upon the unity of Bnei Yisrael.
The Rimanover Rebbe Shlita is spearheading a campaign in which all Jews around the world will unite to observe and honor two shabboism, this Shabbos Hagadol, April 1st, and the shabbos of Passover, April 8. The Talmud states that if every member of the Jewish Nation would observe two Shabbosim, they will immediately be redeemed, what can I do to make this a success? can it ever happen that all yiden will observe Shabbos
The goal of the campaign is to encourage Jews who are still not observing the Shabbos to participate in the “Two Shabbatot” campaign, to encourage and strengthen them, teach them, and if possible, invite them to experience the beauty of Shabbos in an observant home. Through unity and Shabbos observance, which Hashem says, is the sign between Me and Bnei Yisrael, may we all merit both personal salvation and complete redemption in the near future, speedily in our days.
Is this the Rav from Goldberger’s shul in Willy?
funny
Someone needs to get this campaign to the wilde demonstrators
Didn’t we try unsuccessfully to to ONE shabbos in the past?
How is this reaching the non observant?
Is a Yeshivish guy who never leaves the Bais Medrash hosting a Reform/Secular Jew a good idea?And some homeless guy in shomer shabos said something similar.
Per my question above, there apparently are multiple rebbeim who claim to be the “Rimanov” Rebbe. Irrespective of the source, the concept is a core element of many kiruv efforts to bring disenfranchised yidden back to the fold. The question is really HOW it can be done most effectively. Past studies have shown that to be successful, outreach needs to be sustained over time. While a one or two time “experience” of true simchas shabbos done in the home of a frum family is a great start, there also needs to be follow-up outreach to have long-term success.
@GH I think its the guy who stands in front of his shul looking for a 6,7,8,9 and 10th to complete the minyan
CS: Its sometimes confusing (at least to me) when reference is made the XYZ Rebbe and then you research it and find multiple rebbeim who claim the title. With Satmar and Bobov its relatively easy…with others, a bit more cryptic.
Maybe as the current Pesach of Yom Tov and Shabbos following it where sefira is counted from the first day called shabbos and shabbos is two shabossim.
Maxie: I’m still not sure what your point is. Are you supportive of this Rimminav kiruv effort or do you think its duplicative of what Chabad and others do on a continuing basis?
Max, do you think the besh”t would have approved of mixed campus purim parties with alcohol and dancing, while a “rabbi” goea around schmoozing with frei kids?
and the difference between a small minyan and no minyan is the quality of the rav
My suggestion is to go directly to the source, he can be found in his shul or outside looking for someone to be mistraif his minyan.
