- Rabbi Peretz and Chanie Chein both grew up in Crown Heights and are the shluchim today at Brandeis University near Boston, Massachusetts.
They have also recently founded M54, a program founded on the relational connection between learners as they embark on shared yet individual explorations, resulting in profound outcomes.
In this conversation, Peretz and I discuss his growing up in Crown Heights in the late 80s and early 90s and his pivotal decision to leave Crown Heights to study in a yeshiva in Israel, only returning after the Rebbe's stroke two years later.
We discuss the power narrative holds over us and the need to ground oneself in narrative, but also the need to notice the narrative and to pay attention to one's own thoughts and experiences.

When the Rebbe suggested that a couple learn the parshah (or whatever) together, that is great advice.
Is there going to be a show to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of gimmel tammuz ?
Can I make a guest suggestion? The perspective of a dedicated shliach born in 1994 after Gimmel Tammuz - Rabbi Mendy Mentz from Chabad of Bel Air West. I'd be happy to connect you both.
Too much submission to waiting.
i can't understand the acceptance of rabbi steinzalts's telling him to go k himself, and asked him how he would do it. it's abuse, but i feel like it's accepted because, you have to be lubavitch to understand, or something like that, perhaps it makes you feel special that you can accept this kind of language, like we can handle it because we are strong, something like that
I think it’s Rabbi Steinzaltz’s way of connecting with people. Because he was a world class Torah scholar people could feel he’s unapproachable so if he said something comedically absurd, it’s the ice breaker to year down walls between him and a simple person.
You can disagree with it being becoming of him, but obviously the intent was the furthest thing from abuse.
@@youtub6521 is there anything that he could say that you would think, ok that's too far. In my mind, this was too far.
I couldn't live in this kind of environment.
And I believe the way people do live in it is by interpreting and excusing, which to me is exhausting.
I understand he is joking, but the joke, especially the part asking how, is like digging in that he can say whatever he likes and no one is going to call him out on it. That's my understanding.
Thinking again, I don't know why someone would say something like that, but I think it's worth challenging, it's a very extreme thing to say for anyone.
I hear they sell sense of humors in nordstrom. Marshall’s also has at a discount. Go visit the stores. Sheesh.
I wonder how Rabbi Chein, who saw the Rebbe's stroke as "fake" (I guess the Rebbe can't be paralyzed), reacted to gimmel Tammuz. I guess that could be considered fake too. How, exactly, that brings Meshiach or makes a dira lo isborech, I'm not sure.
Peretz you talk about narratives while casually saying chasidim and shluchim are interchangeable which in itself is part of the narrative. Ironic. 75% of chassidim and growing are not shluchim. So you are alienating them with this narrative. Shlichus is just one part (albeit huge) of Rebbe. But there is also good ole chassidus chabad Rebbe as you can see with growing anash communities etc. the two can interchange but also can be mutually exclusive. Regular anash by growing in their avodah can also and do also contribute to bias moshiach which is shluchims ultimate goal. And if chas vesholom moshiach delays coming i think the future is anash communities as the shlichus world isnt growing as quick as anash etc… theres lots on this lechaim!
