Editing Kfar Chabad (section)

== References from the Rebbe ==
Over the years, the Rebbe encouraged the residents of the village and would frequently receive delegations representing Kfar Chabad residents for private audiences. The Rebbe also often encouraged important figures to visit Kfar Chabad. To President Shazar, the Rebbe wrote: "Surely, as has been your good custom for several years, you will visit Kfar Chabad on the bright day of 19 Kislev." The Rebbe would tell people traveling to Israel to convey regards to Kfar Chabad.

The Rebbe was even involved in every detail of Kfar Chabad.

In a private audience with Kfar Chabad residents in Tishrei 5744 (1983), the Rebbe said: "The spiritual foundations of Kfar Chabad are first and foremost, as is obvious from the name Kfar Chabad - the study of the inner dimensions of Torah, the soul of Torah, Chabad of Torah together with the study of the revealed aspects of Torah. This requires the preparation of prayer service."

Later in the audience, the Rebbe also said: "Jewish women and girls have a very great influence on their husbands, parents, brothers, and sisters. It is understood, therefore, that the fulfillment of all these matters - of 'love truth and peace' - depends on them. They will surely set a living example in this, with joy and goodness of heart. Thus, the 'old and foolish king' will have no foothold in Kfar Chabad."

During Rabbi Shlomo Maidanchik's tenure as chairman of the Kfar Chabad committee, the Rebbe would often call him through one of the secretaries to inquire about happenings in the village. Rabbi Maidanchik also received hundreds of confidential notes from the Rebbe regarding the management of the village. The Rebbe instructed that these notes be destroyed immediately after reading them.

==== Capital of the Land of Israel ====
The Rebbe expressed several times that Kfar Chabad is the capital city of the Land of Israel and there one can tangibly sense G-dliness despite it being called a "village." When Rabbi Mordechai Shmuel Ashkenazi told the Rebbe that he intended to live in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, the Rebbe responded: "Why not in Kfar Chabad, the capital city of the Land of Israel?"

The Rebbe added that the role of Kfar Chabad residents is to conquer the Land of Israel with matters of Kfar Chabad, and that Kfar Chabad itself is a place that affects all of the Land of Israel.

The Rebbe also told Rabbi Shloimke Maidanchik in a private audience in 5744 (1984) that when joy prevails in Kfar Chabad, the situation will influence all of the Land of Israel so that everyone there will be joyful, and the situation in the Land of Israel will influence the entire world.
