Description:
During the months of Adar, Nissan and Iyar of 5748 the Rebbe, Shlita, devoted many of his Sichos (talks) to the potential religious importance of birthday celebrations.Citing Halachic and Aggadic sources, as well as traditional Chassidic practices the Rebbe has urged everyone to make appropriate gatherings on birthdays and to encourage and emphasize more Torah study, more Tzedakah, etc.
This essay is based on several discourses from the 25th of Adar, Shabbos Mevorchim Nissan, the 11th & 13th of Nissan, Acharon Shel Pesach, Shabbos Shemini as well as the letter of Erev Rosh Chodesh Nissan.
In this publication we have endeavored to compose a digest of the various concepts and suggestions presented by the Rebbe, Shlita, in the hope of providing the English-speaking world with a clear idea of this important subject.
