22 Shvat LIVE Farbrengen | Rabbi Shais Taub & Rabbi Manis Friedman

Rabbi Shais Taub and Rabbi Manis Friedman farbreng at the SoulWords House in honor of the hilula of *Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka*. Through stories and reflections, they explore the Rebbetzin’s quiet but decisive influence on the Rebbe’s leadership, showing how her modesty was not withdrawal but strength. The conversation expands into a deeper Chassidic theme: that every person is inherently needed by Hashem, and recognizing that truth changes how we live. *Support Keren HaChomesh* https://www.charidy.com/kh 00:32 Purpose of the farbrengen: honoring the hilula of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka 04:17 Story of Dr. Weiss, the Chicago Cubs, and the Rebbetzin’s care for others 10:42 The Rebbetzin’s privacy and her public legacy 15:45 The Rebbetzin as “Matronisa” and the partnership of Rebbe and Rebbetzin 29:57 “The day that connected me to you” — the Rebbe’s wedding-day statement 37:57 The feminine role of “making the bread” — bringing the spiritual into the physical 43:51 The “Antipodes” — how Torah explains the world and the world reflects Torah 01:12:33 Serving Hashem versus being served 01:23:51 The birthday campaign and validating a Jew’s existence 01:36:11 The imprisonments of the Alter Rebbe and the Frierdiker Rebbe 01:46:39 The “Secret Treasure” — Hashem’s pleasure in a Jew simply for existing 01:59:56 Parenting through the lens of inherent delight in a child 02:02:10 The story of the Rebbetzin and the prank phone calls 02:23:57 The Buddhist priest and the “button” of Jewish identity 02:41:13 The Rebbetzin’s deposition and refining the non-Jewish world --- *For more classes from Rabbi Shais Taub:* 🌐 *Website:* https://www.soulwords.org/ *Follow Rabbi Shais Taub:* 📸 *Instagram:* https://www.instagram.com/rabbi_shais_taub 🎥 *TikTok:* https://www.tiktok.com/@rabbi_shais_taub 🐦 *X (Twitter):* https://www.x.com/ShaisTaub 📘 *Facebook:* https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573478244968 💼 *LinkedIn:* https://www.linkedin.com/in/shais-taub-81a95466/ 🎧 *Listen to the SoulWords Podcast:* 🎵 *Spotify:* https://open.spotify.com/show/51E7XHWFDbZCGJQz7CoAZP 🍏 *Apple Podcasts:* https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/soulwords-full-library/id1450892501 *About SoulWords:* SoulWords is a virtual community hosted by Rabbi Shais Taub, where people come together to explore the spiritual insights of Torah and discover their unique purpose.
