Niggun L'chatchila Ariber

2026-01-01T20:01:35Z

ZalmanR:

'''Niggun L'chatchila Ariber''' (called this by the Rebbe, or '''Niguno Shel Admur HaMaharash''' (or in Yiddish '''Dem Rebben's Maharash Niggun''')) - is a melody composed by the Admur HaMaharash. The niggun was beloved to him and was sung by him regularly on various occasions: Shabbos Kodesh, Yamim Tovim and Yoma D'Pagra. This niggun is also sung at many of the Rebbe's farbrengens, especially on the birthday and yahrzeit of Admur HaMaharash, as well as when the nigunim of our Rebbeim are sung.

== Name of the Niggun ==
See expanded entry - '''L'chatchila Ariber'''

The name of the niggun comes from the saying of Admur HaMaharash, "L'chatchila Ariber." Some claim that the content of this saying is expressed in the movements of the niggun.

This niggun is also known as "Niggun Eins Tzvei Drei Fir" because the musical notes in the second part follow four movements. Another name for the niggun is "Niggun Ein Sof."

Regarding this niggun, it is told: At the end of the book "Hon Ashir" - by the author of "Mishnas Chassidim" - there is a song recorded in musical notation. The Rebbe Maharash read these notes and said that the recorded niggun inspired him to compose this niggun.

This niggun is number 180 in Sefer HaNigunim and was recorded from elder Chassidim.

== By the Rebbe ==
The Rebbe learned this niggun from his grandfather, Rabbi Meir Shlomo HaLevi Yanovsky, who had a great sense for music and was among those who "sat" with the Admur Maharash himself.

There are several recordings where we hear the Rebbe singing this niggun. One can notice a few subtle but consistent differences between the version in Sefer HaNigunim and the Rebbe's version, including a consistent change in the first bava of the niggun.

== Times When the Niggun is Sung ==
At the Rebbe's farbrengens where the order of the Rebbes' nigunim were sung, this niggun would come in the turn of Admur Maharash. Additionally, this niggun would be sung at farbrengens on 2 Iyar, the birthday of Admur Maharash, and on 13 Tishrei, the yahrzeit of Admur Maharash, and on additional dates that the Rebbe would connect to the content of "L'chatchila Ariber."

In the form of the niggun as recorded in notation, the 'Ein Sof' movement repeats itself twice. A special innovation the Rebbe introduced: sometimes he would indicate with movements of his head to repeat this movement again and again. It seems that the number of repetitions was not random in terms of "until your lips wear out," but rather with a specific number: often they would repeat this movement ten times, and in one recording, the Rebbe's piercing voice is heard repeating the movement twenty times in a row, and in a second repetition of the entire niggun from the beginning — ten more times.

== Parts of the Niggun ==

=== First Bava ===
The movement of "L'chatchila Ariber," jumping over all obstacles and hindrances, is immediately noticeable in the opening of the niggun, in the leap upward - unlike other Chabad nigunim, in which the ascent is consistent and gradual. It can be said that the approach of Admur Maharash in his saying "L'chatchila Ariber" is expressed in this opening.

=== Second Bava ===
The nickname "Eins Tzvei Drei Fir" is named after the "square" notes, having four consistent identical sounds. This musical "square" expresses the boundary, the framework of creation, the order of hishtalshelus (chain of worlds). This consistent sound is the lowest sound in the scale of the niggun, expressing the "bottom" of the niggun — the same bottom from which they leaped and fled in the opening of the first bava.

=== Third Bava ===
In contrast, the nickname "Ein Sof" is appropriate for the peak of the niggun in the high tones, which repeat themselves again and again; one can remain in this movement endlessly. This is a movement contrary to the movement of boundary, a movement that is above the order of hishtalshelus.

G-dly Soul

2026-01-01T20:00:10Z

ZalmanR: ZalmanR moved page Nefesh Helokis to G-dly Soul without leaving a redirect

The '''Nefesh Helokis''' or the '''Divine Soul''' is a general concept in [[Chassidus]] and is a term for the spiritual and divine part within a Jew, including soul, spirit, and higher soul. A Jew's soul is called "Adam" and was created similar to the "Supreme Adam," containing ten powers and three garments.

== Source ==
The divine soul is "literally a part of God above." This source comes directly from God Himself, explained in three ways:

# Created through God's "breath" rather than speech
# Jews "arose in thought" rather than speech
# Jews are "children of God," receiving a part of His essence

== In the Tanya ==
[edit]
In the Tanya, [[Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi]] stated that the ''nefesh ha'elokit'' is "literally a part of God above." This is supported by quoting the morning prayer "Elokai neshamah", which says "the soul You gave me is pure. ...You blew it into me," then quoting a phrase of the Zohar that "one who blows, blows from within him." This is taken to mean, "from His innermost."

== Unique to Jews ==
The Tanya also notes that this soul is unique to Jews alone. He cites various verses (Exodus 4:22: "My firstborn son, Israel", Deuteronomy 14:1: "You are children to the LORD your God") showing that Jews are considered God's children, and then links it to a mystical statement that "a child is derived from the brain of his father." It then cites Maimonides (Hilchot Yesodei HaTorah 2:10) who says, "He is the Knowledge, and He is the Knower," thus proving that the Jewish Divine soul is derived from the Divine Thought, which is the same as God Himself.

== Relation to human anatomy ==
[edit]
The Tanya states that the ''nefesh ha'elokit'' resides primarily in the brain, from which it spreads throughout the body. It is also manifest, albeit to a lesser extent, in the right ventricle of the heart, from which it may take control of the left ventricle of the heart where the ''nefesh habehamit'' is primarily manifest.

== Internal Powers ==

=== Intellect ===

* Wisdom (Chochma): Initial flash of insight
* Understanding (Binah): Development of the concept
* Knowledge (Daat): Connection and application

=== Emotions ===
Seven emotional attributes:

* Kindness (Chesed)
* Severity (Gevurah)
* Beauty/Mercy (Tiferet)
* Victory (Netzach)
* Splendor (Hod)
* Foundation (Yesod)
* Kingship (Malchut)

== Encompassing Powers ==

* Will (Ratzon)
* Pleasure (Taanug)

== Garments ==

* Thought
* Speech
* Action

== Soul Parts ==
Five levels:

# Nefesh: Basic divine soul level
# Ruach: Emotional level
# Neshamah: Intellectual level
# Chayah: Encompassing life force
# Yechidah: Highest unity with God

== Location and Entry ==
The divine soul primarily resides in the brain and right chamber of the heart. It begins entering at circumcision and fully enters at Bar/Bat Mitzvah.

=== Parts of the Soul ===

== Internal ==
The inner soul parts enter gradually:

* Nefesh (basic soul): Enters at birth
* Ruach (emotional): Enters when Nefesh is perfected
* Neshamah (intellectual): Enters with higher spiritual awakening

== Encompassing ==

* Chayah: Closer encompassing force, called "mazal"
* Yechidah: Highest soul level, connected to God's oneness

== The Essence ==
The soul's essence (etzem haneshamah) is:

* One with Yechidah generally
* The core connection between a Jew and God
* Causes pain over lack of divine revelation in exile

== Purpose ==
The soul descends to:

* Refine and elevate the body and animal soul
* Transform physical desires to holiness
* Achieve higher elevation through this work

== Mode of Operation ==
The divine soul works by:

# Filling intellect with Torah learning
# Filling heart with love and fear of God
# Transforming animal soul through divine love
# Directing thought, speech and action toward holy purposes

This can happen through:

* Deep contemplation of lofty concepts
* Simple meditation on God's constant creation and sustenance

Moshiach ben Yosef

2026-01-01T19:57:59Z

ZalmanR:

Moshiach ben Yosef is the Moshiach who will redeem Israel before the complete redemption by [[Melech HaMashiach|Moshiach ben Dovid]], and he will be from the descendants of Aviyah ben Yeravam<ref>See Zohar Chadash Parshat Balak. And see in the book Emek HaMelech which states: The soul of Yeravam departed from him before he sinned, and it was elevated in purity, and the son of Aviya's son, who was born on the day he died, merited it. This is what is written (Zechariah 12:10) "And they shall look upon Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, etc.," for they agreed to his death because he rebelled against the kingdom of the House of David, and afterward Mashiach ben David will pray for him and revive him, for he was the true Mishneh [second-in-command].</ref>, and from the descendants of Menashe ben Yosef<ref>See in Midrash Rabbah, Bamidbar Parashah 14:1: "Mine is Menashe," this refers to Mashiach who will arise from the descendants of Menashe, as it is said (Tehillim 108), "Mine is Menashe, and Ephraim is the stronghold of my head," this refers to the Meshuach Milchamah [anointed for war] who comes from Ephraim, as it is said (Devarim), "His firstborn ox, majesty is his." "Yehudah is my lawgiver," this refers to the great Redeemer who is from the descendants of David.</ref>, and some say from Efraim ben Yosef<ref>Midrash Talpiyot Aleph, Section on Gilgulim</ref>.

== In the Sources ==
Moshiach ben Yosef is mentioned in the Gemara in [[Sukkah|Masechet Sukkah]], where it says on the verse "And the land shall mourn, every family apart," that in the future Israel will mourn for "Moshiach ben Yosef who will be killed." According to another opinion in the Gemara, it refers to the yetzer hara (evil inclination) that will be killed:<blockquote>"And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of Dovid apart, and their wives apart." They said: Is this not a kal vachomer (logical deduction)? If in the future time, when they are engaged in mourning and the yetzer hara has no control over them, the Torah says men separately and women separately, now when they are engaged in rejoicing and the yetzer hara has control over them, how much more so! But what is the reason for this mourning? Rabbi Dosa and the Rabbis disagree. One says it is for Moshiach ben Yosef who was killed, and one says it is for the yetzer hara that was killed. — Masechet Sukkah, 52a</blockquote>Later in the Gemara, it is related that Hashem will ask Moshiach ben Dovid what request he has, and he will answer that he wants Hashem to bring Moshiach ben Yosef back to life:<blockquote>And when Moshiach ben Dovid sees that Moshiach ben Yosef has been killed, he says before Him: "Master of the Universe, I ask of You only life." Hashem says to him: "Life! Before you even asked, your father Dovid already prophesied about you, as it is said, 'He asked life of You, You gave it to him, etc.'" — Sukkah, 52a</blockquote>

==== Rambam's Perspective on Mashiach ben Yosef ====
The Rambam writes in his book that: "No person will know how things will be until they come to pass" and according to many opinions, Mashiach ben Yosef is a metaphor. The Rambam himself does not refer to Mashiach ben Yosef in his book<ref>"And it requires further study that in the Rambam's conclusion of Hilchot Melachim [Laws of Kings], he completely omits the matter of Mashiach ben Yosef, and it implies from his wording there that everything is accomplished through Mashiach ben David" - Likutei Sichot volume 32, page 185. "And the later authorities have already noted and discussed that in the Rambam there is no mention at all regarding Mashiach ben Yosef" - Likutei Sichot volume 25, page 249. And it should be noted from Mishneh Torah, Chapter 12, Hilchot Melachim U'Milchamot [Laws of Kings and Wars], Section 2 - "No person will know how these matters will occur until they happen."</ref>. Rabbi Saadia Gaon wrote that Mashiach ben Yosef will not necessarily come, and it depends on the Jewish people; if the Jewish people return in teshuvah, Mashiach ben David will come immediately, and if not, Mashiach ben Yosef will come before him.

Rabbi Yehonatan Eybeschutz brings in his book Yaarot Devash in the name of the Zohar that Mashiach ben Yosef is included within Mashiach ben David, and when he asks Hashem for life as mentioned above, he is asking for the aspect of Mashiach ben Yosef that is included within him.

(According to the Vilna Gaon's approach, Mashiach ben Yosef is not a physical person but refers to all the tzaddikim and great Jewish leaders who were killed al kiddush Hashem. He even lists in his book 156 characteristics that will be present in Mashiach ben Yosef. The Vilna Gaon also wrote that Mashiach ben Yosef does not have to be male and can also be female).

== His Purpose ==
According to Midrash Tanchuma, Mashiach ben Yosef is compared to an ox, while Mashiach ben David is compared to a donkey.

The main mission of Mashiach ben Yosef will be to announce the coming of Mashiach ben David, and he will prepare the world for the coming of Mashiach. According to some opinions, he will also build the Beis Hamikdash and gather the Jewish people, and after Mashiach ben David comes, he will rule under him.

Among other tasks, Mashiach ben Yosef will gather warriors from Israel, strike down the governors of Aram and Yishmael, conquer Eretz Yisrael, rectify Yeravam ben Nevat, defeat the kingdom of Edom, fight against Amalek, and destroy the house of Esav.

The Maharal of Prague explains that Yehudah is compared to the brain, which symbolizes the rule of intellect and knowledge, while Yosef, who corresponds to the heart, symbolizes the rule of emotions and feelings. Therefore, both are fathers of the Jewish nation, but the true leadership belongs to Yehudah because the brain is the primary organ. However, during galus when the Jewish people follow the heart, Yosef is the one who rules.

Therefore, "Mashiach ben Yosef" represents the leaders of Israel during galus, because during galus the Jewish people follow the heart, and because the heart cannot overcome the yetzer hara, the yetzer hara kills him. But Mashiach ben David symbolizes the true and complete leadership, when the nations of the world cannot stand against him.

== In Chassidic Teachings ==
Some want to understand that what is explained in Chassidic teachings, that in Mashiach there will be an integration of Yehudah and Ephraim (based on what is stated in Yechezkel that Hashem will connect the "wood of Yosef" and the "wood of Yehudah" and make them "one wood," while "David My servant will be their prince forever"), the reference to "Ephraim" and "Yosef" means Mashiach ben Yosef.

== His Death ==
In the Gemara, it is stated that Mashiach ben Yosef will go to war against the descendants of Esav, and during the war, he will be killed by Armilus, the king of Edom, thus fulfilling the prophecy: "And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esav stubble, and they shall kindle in them and devour them, and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esav, for Hashem has spoken."

Chassidim relate that R' Hillel of Paritch said that he does not understand the words of our Sages that Mashiach ben Yosef will die in battle, and perhaps the intention is that the light of Chassidus will not shine so brightly in the footsteps of Mashiach.

== His Identity ==
In different periods, several individuals were identified as Mashiach ben Yosef. Some said he was Bar Koziba (which is why the Rambam did not mention him, since he had already come). In recent generations, they said about the Chozeh of Lublin that he was Mashiach ben Yosef, and he passed away in the midst of his spiritual battle to bring Mashiach, which he conducted together with several tzaddikim of his generation, on the ninth of Av. They also said this about the Kabbalist Rabbi Shimshon of Ostropoli who was killed al kiddush Hashem during the Tach V'Tat pogroms.

Some say it was Rabbi Shlomo of Karlin when he was killed during Napoleon's war - which is the war of Gog and Magog - by a Cossack named Armilus.

The chassidim of the Mitteler Rebbe said about him that the fact that he delivered his Chassidic discourses in a detailed and expansive manner indicates that he was Mashiach ben Yosef, while Mashiach ben David will reveal the inner dimensions of Torah in the form of seeing, Mashiach ben Yosef will explain it.

In the book 'Yechi HaMelech HaMashiach' (by Rabbi Sholom Dovber Wolpo), he explains the concept of Mashiach ben Yosef, and writes, based on various expressions in the sichos of the Rebbe and the Frierdiker Rebbe and according to various events that occurred with them, that Mashiach ben Yosef in our generation was the Frierdiker Rebbe, and following him is Mashiach ben David - who is the Rebbe. However, on one occasion the Rebbe stated that Mashiach ben Yosef has not yet been revealed and we are waiting for his revelation.

In 1913, Volume 1 on Sefer Bereishis and Chanukah was published in Berditchev by Rav Chaim Eliezer Bichovski. It was prepared for print by Rav Chaim Meir Hillman (both Kopust Chabad chassidim). For an extended period, Chabad-Lubavitch chassidim refrained from using these seforim due to inappropriate statements by the publisher towards the Rebbe Rashab.

== Shemos Volume 1 ==
In 1950, the Rebbe (as manager of Kehot Publication Society under instruction from the Frierdiker Rebbe) began publishing the continuation of the series. The first sefer he printed was Volume 1 of Sefer Shemos on Parshiyos Shemos, Va'eira and Bo, which was edited by the Rebbe himself.

This edition included nine additional commentaries, and the Tehillim text is from "Ohel Yosef Yitzchak," with a collection of letters from the Frierdiker Rebbe regarding the importance of saying Tehillim printed at the end. Additionally, this commentary includes other explanations from the Tzemach Tzedek on Tehillim, collected from his writings in: Ohr HaTorah, Derech Emunah, and his commentaries on Megillas Eicha. Second edition (by Kehot) - 1984. This edition was compared and proofread against the Tzemach Tzedek's original manuscript, from his handwritten notes received through Rav Chanoch Glitzenstein. A detailed index for "Yahel Ohr" was also added. Third edition (by Kehot) - 2023, printed in square letters with corrections and additions.

== Chamesh Megillos ==
In 1951 and 1952, the Rebbe published the maamarim on Megillas Eicha; in 1955 - on Megillas Esther; and in 1961 - the maamarim on Megillos Shir HaShirim, Rus, and Koheles were published by Otzar HaChassidim (later, the maamarim on Chamesh Megillos were published in an expanded edition in the seforim Ohr HaTorah Megillas Esther, Ohr HaTorah Shir HaShirim, and Ohr HaTorah Nevi'im uKesuvim).

== Remaining Volumes ==

770 Eastern Parkway

2025-09-16T22:51:53Z

ZalmanR: links

'''770 Eastern Parkway''', formally '''Agudas Chasidei Chabad - Ohel Yosef Yitzchak Lubavitch''' (also known as Chabad World Headquarters, or simply as 770 or "Seven Seventy") is [[the Rebbe]]'s Shul and [[Beis Medrash]] and the global center of the Chabad movement. Tens of thousands of [[Chassid|Chassidim]], [[Shlichus|shluchim]], and friends of Lubavitch visit 770 each year. 770 is where the Rebbe davens and farbrengs, and where the Rebbe says [[Sicha|sichos]] and maamarim. The Rebbe also receives people for private audiences there and distributes dollars to be donated to charity.
[[File:סווען סווענטי.jpeg|thumb|770 ]]
Also referred to as "Beis Chayeinu" (house of our life) and "Beis Moshiach" (the house of Messiah), 770 Eastern Parkway serves as the focal point of the Chabad Lubavitch movement.

The 770 complex comprises the grand gothic style mansion at 770 Eastern Parkway and the large apartment building located at the adjacent 784-788 Eastern Parkway. The mansion at 770 Eastern Parkway hosts offices and a beis medrash on the ground floor, including the Rebbe's office. The 2nd floor is home to the Previous Rebbe's apartment and associated rooms. The third floor was formerly the apartment of the [[Rebbetzin Nechama Dina Schneerson (Wife of Rebbe Rayatz)|Rebbetzin Nechama Dina]] and is presently home to the annex of the [[Library of Agudas Chassidei Chabad|Aguch Library]].

== History ==
The building was constructed in 1933 by a doctor named J. Rosenman for private residence and a medical clinic.

The building was built luxuriously, with ceramic tiles in the inner rooms imported from Italy, the upper rooms were wood-paneled, and the two front rooms on the top floor were lavishly furnished.

In the basement was a furnished room that served as Rosenman's event hall. The building had an elevator - unusual for those days according to experts, and $200,000 was invested in it.

J. Rosenman was arrested due to complications with the [[IRS]], and the building was seized by Nassau Savings and Loan Association, who offered it for sale at a discounted price of $30,000.

[Rosenman later prided himself that the building became the Lubavitch center]

On Tuesday, 9th of [[Adar I]] 1940, [[the Frierdiker Rebbe]] arrived in [[The United States|America]] after leaving [[Nazi-occupied Europe]]. Upon arrival in the [[United States of America|USA]], he stayed at the Greystone Hotel in Manhattan, and the [[chassidim]] established a committee to search for a suitable location for Agudas Chasidei Chabad as a private home and beis medrash for the Rebbe, called the Committee for Building Beis Chayeinu by Agudas Chasidei Chabad.

The committee members were: [[Nissan Telushkin|Rabbi Nissan Telushkin]] - Honorary Chairman of Agudas Chassidei Chabad, [[Chaim Shneur Zalman Kramer|Rabbi Chaim Shneur Zalman Kramer]] - Chairman of Agudas Chassidei Chabad, [[Shlomo Aharon Kazarnovsky|Rabbi Shlomo Aharon Kazarnovsky]] - Committee Chairman [[Avraham DovBer Kramer|Rabbi Avraham DovBer Kramer]] - Treasurer [[DovBer Chaskind|Rabbi DovBer Chaskind]] - Secretary

As well as: [[Shmuel Levitin|Rabbi Shmuel Levitin]] [[Moshe DovBer Rivkin|Rabbi Moshe DovBer Rivkin]] [[Eliyahu Yeichil-Simpson|Rabbi Eliyahu Simpson]] [[Yisroel Jacobson|Rabbi Yisroel Jacobson]] [[Menachem Mendel Kunin|Rabbi Menachem Mendel Kunin]]

Initially, Rabbis Jacobson and Kunin wanted the Rebbe to remain living in [[Lakewood]] where he first stayed upon arrival, but the Rebbe responded: "Among my people I dwell" - meaning that Lakewood was merely a tourist destination compared to New York which was an active residential area for most European immigrants.

After searching, building 770 was found on Eastern Parkway in the [[Crown Heights]] neighborhood and the Rebbe chose it. This area was prestigious and central, with 770 being the newest building in the center of the neighborhood. Its architectural character and structure, with decorative elements, made it stand out as a prominent building suitable to serve as the Rebbe's home, [[Beis Medrash]], and center of [[Chassidus]].

Most residents in the neighborhood were Conservative, and the building that today serves as [[Yeshivas Chovevei Torah]] was their center for all of America.

The Frierdiker Rebbe commented to [[the Tomashpol Rebbe]], a neighborhood resident, before the purchase that there was potential to work with him in the neighborhood.

During the purchase proceedings, residents organized opposition to the settlement of the Rebbe and his chassidim in the neighborhood, whose character was very different from theirs, claiming it would lower property values. The petition against the purchase was nullified by a Jew who angrily tore up the petition.

For the purchase, the committee appealed to [[Anash]] in a letter requesting financial participation, and on Friday, 12 [[Menachem Av]] 1940, the building was purchased.

A large portion of the sum was given by the sons of Rabbi Moshe Eliezer Kramer, the first chairman of Agudas Chassidei Chabad and one of Chabad's main supporters at the time.

In mid-Menachem Av, the Rebbe came for a visit, instructed how to arrange the shul and how to affix the [[Mezuzoh|mezuzos]], and asked to see the basement. He prayed Mincha and Maariv there, and afterward sat in the room that would later become his son-in-law [[The Rebbe's House|the Rebbe]]'s room and said words of blessing.

To create a prayer hall, they broke down the wall between two rooms and created what is today called the Small Zal.

On 19 Menachem Av, the Rebbe moved to live in 770, and upon entering what is now called the Small Zal, he said words of blessing.

On 21 Elul, there was a [[Chanukas Habayis]] (building dedication). The Rebbe held a [[farbrengen]] and said a maamar beginning with "Al Shlosha Devorim."

During this period, very few religious Jews lived in Crown Heights, but in 1941, hundreds of Jews came to see the Rebbe during [[prayer]].

On the first night, the Rebbe prayed in what is now called the Small Zal, and the next day with a small minyan upstairs.

Initially, prayers were held only on [[Shabbos]] and [[Yom Tov]]. Later, the Agudas Chassidei Chabad office manager, [[Dovid Shifrin|Rabbi Dovid Shifrin]], suggested moving the yeshiva there, and immediately after the holidays, the yeshiva moved to 770.

In a letter dated 19 Marcheshvan to his mother, the Rebbe wrote that they paid $5,000 in cash and another $25,000 in a twenty-year loan with payments of $1,350 per year. Renovations cost $2,000, totaling $7,000 - $5,000 was raised by chassidim and $2,000 was borrowed.

Due to the difficult situation, they couldn't meet the payments, and only in 1950 was the payment completed by a donor named Mr. Joseph Robinson.

From the day of entering 770, the "Lubavitch Court" moved, as part of the "[[ten exiles that Lubavitch was exiled]]" to its permanent location, from which it will move to the Holy Land with the coming of Moshiach, as per the Rebbe's words.

The building's size was sufficient at that time for all the needs of Agudas Chassidei Chabad in the United States and even for the Frierdiker Rebbe's private needs.

== The Building's Structure at Purchase ==
The building at the time of purchase included three floors and parking:

First Floor - Beis Medrash for the chassidim Second Floor - Living quarters for the Frierdiker Rebbe and his family Third Floor - Living quarters for the Frierdiker Rebbe's first son-in-law, Rabbi [[Shmaryahu Gurary]] and his family

Besides building a [[sukkah]] balcony in the Frierdiker Rebbe's apartment on the second floor - so he wouldn't have to go downstairs on [[Sukkos]] to eat in the sukkah - no changes were made to the building. Over the years, the need for additional space grew, and accordingly, additional adjacent buildings were purchased and significant renovations were made to the parking area and building basement.

== The House Number ==
The Rebbe explained that the house number '''770''' shows through [[Hashgacha Pratis - Divine Providence|Hashgacha Pratis (Divine Providence)]] the significance, merit, and essence of the place. He explained various hints that can be learned from the number 770 in serving Hashem, including that 770 equals "Ufaratzta" in [[gematria]]. This means that from this building, Chabad chassidim "break through" to the entire world to spread the light of Yiddishkeit. The Rebbe also explained the hint that the number "770" equals "Beis Moshiach" in gematria, among other meanings.

Additionally, the Rebbe stated that in the true and complete [[Geulah - Redemption|Geulah]], when [[The Third Temple|the Third Beis Hamikdash]] will be revealed, it will first be revealed in "770" - "Beis Rabbeinu SheBeBavel," and from there both will be transferred to the place of the Mikdash in [[Yerushalayim]].

== Ground Floor ==
The ground floor of 770 was designed to be the office floor and main shul of Chabad Chassidus<ref>Due to lack of space, the synagogue moved to a courtyard that was subsequently expanded several times until it reached its current size - the large zal.</ref>.

This floor also contains 'Gan Eden HaTachton', which served as an entrance corridor to Gan Eden HaElyon, the Rebbe's room.

The Rebbe's room initially served as the Frierdiker Rebbe's room. When the Rebbe and Rebbetzin arrived at 770, the room became their living quarters. After they moved to an apartment on Brooklyn Avenue and later to a house at 1304 President Street, the room became the Rebbe's personal room where he received people for yechidus.

On the first floor is the 'Small Zal', which served as the shul until the construction of the Large Zal in the basement.

This floor also contains [[the mazkirus]] office, which served as the center for the Rebbe's secretariat activities, and offices of other chassidim, including Rav Shmuel Levitin, [[Chaim Mordechai Isaac Hodakov|Rav Chaim Mordechai Aizik Hodakov]], the broadcast room, and more.

== Second Floor ==
The second floor was designated from 1940 as the Frierdiker Rebbe's living quarters. Due to his health condition, he [[Prayer|davened]], held farbrengens, and received people for [[yechidus]] there.

Until 2017, access was available to workers of the Agudas Chassidei Chabad Library, and tours were occasionally organized, especially during visitor seasons such as Tishrei and [[Yud Shevat]].
[[File:הושענא רבה 770.jpg|thumb|Saying [[Tehillim]] [[Hoshanah Rabbah]]]]
On this floor, only maintenance work is carried out, without changes to the rooms and walls of the building. The Rebbe's apartment remains in its original form, as it was before Yud Shevat 1950, the time of the Frierdiker Rebbe's histalkus.

== Third Floor ==
The library's display hall on the third floor includes:

# Yeshiva offices
# Bathroom, bath, and shower
# Rabbi Shmuel Gurary's office
# Closet rooms
# Living room
# Bathroom
# Rabbi Gurary's bedroom
# Balcony (after 27 Adar 1992, the Rebbe went up there several times for Kiddush Levana)
# Bathroom
# Guest bedroom
# Kitchen
# External stairs
# Elevator
# Internal stairs
# Bridge between 770 and the Lubavitch Library (built in 1993)

The third floor served as Rabbi Shmaryahu Gurary's apartment, where he had his personal office and the offices of [[Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim|Tomchei Tmimim Yeshiva]] under his management. After his passing, the floor was transferred to the Agudas Chassidei Chabad Library, which unified most of the rooms (rooms 7-6-5-4-3 on the map) into a display hall, according to the library's needs.

This floor also contains a room for "[[Otzar HaChassidim|Machon Otzar HaChassidim]]," where they prepare Chabad Rebbes' writings for publication.
[[File:770 לג בעומר.jpg|thumb|Rally of Lag BeOmer in Front of 770]]
== The Main Synagogue ==
In around 5714 (1954), due to the increasing number of participants in the Rebbe's [[Prayer|tefillos]] and farbrengens, the "Small Zal" on the first floor could no longer contain all the people. They began using the "Shalash," which was larger than the "Small Zal," for farbrengens and Yomim Noraim tefillos. The major farbrengens of Yud Tes Kislev, Yud Shevat, and Purim were held in other larger halls in the Crown Heights area.

Over the years, as the number of participants grew, there was an increasing need to expand the space. The shul was expanded toward the adjacent building at 784-788 Eastern Parkway, as well as toward Union Street.

==== Sifrei Torah in the Shul ====
There are many [[Sefer Torah|Sifrei Torah]] in the Rebbe's shul - 770. Some of these scrolls are associated with interesting events or special history, including [[the Sefer Torah for Kabbalas Pnei Moshiach Tzidkeinu]] and [[the Rebbe's Sefer Torah]].

==== Management of the Shul ====
The shul is managed by [[Gabbay|gabbaim]] elected by the community. The gabbaim are responsible for maintaining the place and managing the tefillos. The gabbaim are subject to the authority of the neighborhood rabbanim.
[[File:770 אלול תשפ''ב.jpg|thumb|770 From The Front]]
The Rebbe gave special respect to the gabbaim, and frequently mentioned their role in managing the shul by changing the order of requesting their permission, listening to their announcements, saying "Gut Shabbos" to them on Friday night, paying for aliyos when needed, and many other acknowledgments expressing their responsibility for managing the shul.

==== Davening in 770 ====
One of the main aspects of 770 as the center of Chabad Chassidus is davening and [[avodas hatefillah]]. It is said that when the Frierdiker Rebbe first entered the 770 building, he first went to the area designated for the shul and said that he was dedicating this place for "tefillah from within pnimiyus."

The davening in 770 is done at maximum speed so as not to waste the Rebbe's precious time.

==== Chomas Anash ====
'Chomas Anash' was a fundraising project that operated in 5753 (1993) with the goal of expanding 770, in accordance with the Rebbe's instruction in [[Kuntres Beis Rabbeinu Shebebavel|Kuntres Beis Rabbeinu SheBeBavel]]. As part of this initiative, each Anash family was asked to donate an equal amount of 770 dollars, with their names to be engraved on a special wall in the renovated building. The project was halted on Gimmel Tammuz 5754 (1994).

==== Vaad Seudas Shlomo ====
'Vaad Seudas Shlomo' is an organization that prepares food for 770 visitors. Located in a room under the women's section on Eastern Parkway, it provides food and drink to 770 visitors on weekdays (coffee, tea, and mezonos) and on Shabbos and Yom Tov (challos, wine, and cholent). It also provides meals after fasts and hosts certain farbrengens in the shul.
[[File:אורחים תשרי.jpg|thumb|Chassidim in 770 [[Tishrei]]]]

==== The Central Farbrengens in 770 ====
Most of the Rebbe's farbrengens were held in 770, initially in the Small Zal and later in the Shalash and the main shul.

The central farbrengens in 770 are held on Chabad commemorative days and on days when there is a special instruction to farbreng, such as after Yom Tov. These are usually organized by the 770 gabbaim.

==== Tishrei ====
Approaching the month of Tishrei, Chabad chassidim and Temimim students from around the world stream to 770 and stay there throughout the days of Tishrei.

The prayer schedules, learning sessions, and farbrengens are adapted for the holidays. The gabbaim, together with the yeshiva administrations and Eshel Hachnosas Orchim, organize learning schedules for the guests according to the Rebbe's instructions, farbrengens with mashpiim, and welcome and farewell events.

==== Tomchei Temimim Central ====
The first Tomchei Temimim yeshiva in the United States was founded on 9 Adar Sheni 1940, the day the Frierdiker Rebbe arrived in the United States. For about nine months, classes were held in one of the Chabad synagogues in Brooklyn, and in the month of Cheshvan 1941, the yeshiva moved to the new building - 770 Eastern Parkway, where it remains until this very day.

== The Rebbe's Relationship with 770 ==
On 20 Cheshvan 1992, the Rebbe published a kuntres titled "Beis Rabbeinu SheBebavel." In this special kuntres, the elevated status of 770 is extensively explained as being "Beis Rabbeinu SheBebavel" - the place of the [[Nasi|Nasi HaDor]], where the [[Shechinah]] resides during Exile. Additionally, in the kuntres, the Rebbe reveals that the Beis HaMikdash will first descend from heaven at 770 and only afterward will travel with it to Jerusalem, the holy city.

The publication of the kuntres created significant waves within Chabad chassidus, as it contained matters written and edited by the Rebbe that no one imagined the Rebbe himself would agree to publish.
[[File:בית רבינו שבבבל.jpg|thumb|The Kuntres Beis Rabbeinu Shbibavel]]
Since the publication of the kuntres, the Rebbe kept it consistently in his siddur (which was extremely rare regarding other kuntresim).

==== Names Given by the Rebbe ====
* '''Beis Agudas Chassidei Chabad - Ohel Yosef Yitzchak''' - Appears above the main entrance to the building and was inscribed at the Rebbe's instruction after the seforim case.
* '''Beis Rabbeinu SheBebavel''' - Named after the [[kuntres]] published by the Rebbe explaining the special merit of the main beis medrash in each generation, similar to the Amoraim's synagogue in Bavel.
* '''770''' - The common name in Chabad vernacular and appears in the Rebbe's sichos.
* '''Beis Moshiach''' - Equals in gematria the building number - "770".
* '''Beis Chayeinu''' - As it is the source of life for Chabad chassidim.
* '''Daled Amos of Nesi Doreinu''' - As it is the fixed place of the Nasi HaDor.
* '''Bayis Meshulash''' - As three types of activities take place there: Torah, tefillah, and tzedakah.

== Bedek Habayis ==
'''Extended Article - [[Bedek Habayis|770 Expansions]]''' [[Bedek Habayis|'''Extended Article - Bedek Habayis (770)''']]

'Bedek Habayis' is the name of an organization established at the request of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka in 1979, with the responsibility of maintaining the 770 building, specifically the original building purchased in 1940.

== Replicas ==
'''Extended Article - [[770 Kfar Chabad]]'''

On the 15th of Tammuz 1985, the Rebbe requested to build an exact replica of 770 in [[Kfar Chabad]] - construction was completed on the 15th of Tammuz 1986. Following this, a trend began of building 770 replicas around the world: even before this, there was a replica in Milan.

[[File:אייקון גאולה ומשיח.png|left|100px|frameless]]
[[Geulah - Redemption|The Future Redemption]] is one of the fundamental principles of [[Emunah|Jewish faith]]: that a time will come when the People of Israel will return to their land and serve G-d in completeness. Then peace will prevail, and the glory of G-d will be revealed throughout the entire world. The prophecy concerning it was stated and repeated many times in the [[Chumash (Book)|Torah]], the Nevi'im, and the Kesuvim. The description of the Redeemer, [[Yemos Hamoshiach|the Era of Redemption]], and its events were described by the prophets and were explained in greater detail by the sages of Israel throughout the generations. Nevertheless, they said regarding some of the particulars (such as the time of Elijah’s arrival): ‘And all these matters, and those similar to them, no person will know how they will come about until they come to pass.

The anticipation of the Redemption is fundamental to the belief in its coming. A person must awaken himself to look forward to and to request from G-d the hastening of the coming of Moshiach, the rebuilding of the [[Beis Hamikdosh|Temple]], and the [[In-gathering of the exiles|in-gathering of the exiles]]. Petitions for the Redemption recur dozens of times throughout the [[Siddur Tehillat Hashem|daily prayers]], as the Redemption is of utmost importance to the praying Jew.

With the revelation of [[Toras HaChassidus|Chassidic teachings]], a new clarity was added to all matters connected with the Redemption. The reason for this is that the revelation of Chassidus itself is part of the revelation of the light of Redemption. Therefore, in the teachings of The Rebbeim, strong emphasis was placed on the connection of the [[Torah]] and [[Mitzvos]] to Redemption in general, as well as on the constant anticipation and longing for Redemption.

This theology found expression among the [[Portal:Rebbes of Chabad|Rebbeim]], in whom the yearning for Redemption permeated their entire being and was manifest in their leadership; most notably in the later generations—beginning with the [[The Rebbe Rashab|Rebbe Rashab]], who founded [[Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim|Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim]] and proclaimed in his talks that the students of the yeshiva are the ‘soldiers of the House of David,’ fighting against those who reject that we are on the precipice of Redemption. This awakening was strengthened by his son, the [[The Rebbe Rayatz|Rebbe Rayatz]], especially during the Holocaust, which he described as the ‘birth pangs of Moshiach.’ [[The Rebbe|Our Rebbe]], the seventh in the line of Chabad Rebbeim, upon accepting the leadership, declared that our generation is the last of [[Exile]] and the first of Redemption, concluding from this that Redemption is not an additional element to the reality and leadership of the generation, but rather interwoven like a thread throughout every aspect of it.

In recent years, The Rebbe Melech Hamoshiach spoke about this subject continuously, declaring that the work of exile has been completed and that what remains is only to greet Moshiach in actuality. And in this vein, he encouraged constantly for over a year the proclamation of his kingship : [[Yechi Adoneinu Moreinu V'Rabbeinu Melech HaMoshiach L'olam Va'ed|Long live our Master, Teacher, and Rebbe, King Moshiach, Forever and Ever.]]
