| On Saturday night, January 31, 1960, a New York radio station (WEVD) began to |
| broadcast a new program—a weekly class in the Chassidic classic Tanya. |
| When the Rebbe was met with criticism from those who felt that radio and television were “evil” things, and |
| that the holy words of the Torah are “contaminated” when channeled via these instruments, he responded |
| by restating a fundamental principle of Jewish faith: everything was created by G‑d to serve His purpose in |
| creation. Man, who has free choice, might make negative use of a creation, but its intrinsic function |
| remains the revelation of the divine wisdom and goodness. |
Since then, Chabad has produced thousands of audio and video recordings covering a wide range of Jewish |
| subjects. |
|
Here we present some links to Chabad sites offering some of these audio/video collections.

| The Talmud tells us that 24,000 students of Rabbi Akiva died because "they did not treat one another with |
|
respect." But the plague ended on Lag B'omer, which means they had remedied their actions and began
|
|
to treat each other with the appropriate level of esteem. (6:20)
