Merkaz Letoras Hachassidus was established\u00a0to bring the teachings\u00a0of Chassidus through publications, shiurim and events.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
The Baal Shem Tov related that he was brought to the Heichal of Moshiach, and the Baal Shem Tov asked him when he will come, to which the reply came \u05dc\u05db\u05e9\u05d9\u05e4\u05d5\u05e6\u05d5 \u05de\u05e2\u05d9\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05ea\u05d9\u05da \u05d7\u05d5\u05e6\u05d4, when your wellsprings will spread out.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
We are in a time when people are thirsty for meaning and depth, and are seeking to quench their thirst with the wellsprings of Chassidus. The Merkaz seeks to serve this need, to provide every person with the depth, meaning and understanding that Chassidus teaches, in the most practical and clear manner.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
The Merkaz was established by Rabbi Avremel Raskin, by request of Rabbi Nachman Sudak \u05e2”\u05d4, Shliach of the Lubavitcher Rebbe \u05d6\u05d9”\u05e2 to the United Kingdom.\u00a0<\/div>

Publications<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
An important project of the Merkaz is to produce high-quality material on Chassidus, written in a clear and organised\u00a0style. Many find the Chabad teachings to be out of reach for their depth and sheer amount of volumes, and these publications provide clarity in many subjects.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Through the course of the years, the Merkaz has produced hundreds of publications in the Yomim Tovim, fundamental ideas of Chassidus and guidance in Avodas Hashem, all culled from the vast library of Chabad Chassidus.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
The uniqueness of these series is the\u00a0style of presentation, providing\u00a0the reader a full overview on the depth and meaning\u00a0that Chassidus\u00a0teaches\u00a0\u00a0in each topic.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
The Yom Tov series were published throughout the years 5779-5786, and were published as a 800 page Sefer in the year 5786.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
The Emunah project, covering the fundamentals\u00a0of Yiddishkiet as explained in Chassidus, was produced in a series in the year 5780, and are currently being edited afresh. This series also covers many Emunah related topics as well.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
The Parsha project, piloted in the year 5786, showcases the inner meaning of each Parsha, shows how each Parsha has a unique message\u00a0and threads all the details of the Parsha together.\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWe believe that Chassidus is not only something to be studied, but something that gives a person clarity, direction and warmth in Avodas Hashem. It helps a person understand the meaning behind Torah and Mitzvos, strengthens connection to Yiddishkeit and brings depth to everyday life.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A recent project of the Merkaz, is to arrange short, 10 minute one-to-one shiurim in the workplace during lunchtime or office hours. These short sessions have a tremendous impact on the people who join and illuminates the entire week of an entrepreneur.
