A Triple Preperation For The Second Adar - Weekend of Shabbos Mevorchim Adar Sheini 5771 At YNS

Thursday night,
sitting around the table learning
exactly what Chof Zayin Adar is
and how we can apply it
to our own daily lives this very day.

With Itchel telling it
in great detail
in a way we can
never possibly forget.

Mendy and Z.O.
describing so forcibly
exactly what
this Adar should mean.

With all of the bochurim
participating;
each adding
their own unique lessons.

Together we made
a true farbrengen.
Making Hachlotos
and learning who we truly are.

Understanding what
the Rebbe means to us;
and how his teachings
can be applied.

That when (not if) we change
we have Hashem's help.
And we are the
Aharon of our generation.

Friday night,
everyone singing together
Lecho Dodi.
Everyone enjoying
a beautiful Shabbos meal together
with the Shabbos Queen.

Getting up early
saying Tehillim together;
oh' what a spell-binding scene.
The words of Dovid Ha-Melech
felt so real;
as if he himself was actually there.

Munching on doughnuts
while finishing up,
you can feel the excitement in the air.
The feeling of accomplishment was so strong
we did it all together;
the Shechinah truly belonged.

Shabbos afternoon
the farbrengen we continued.
Expressing how we showed that
we can do something if we tried.

How every Bachor
really showed his most;
how we welcomed the Rebbe
into our homes.

* * * * *

Moitze Shabbos
we recaptured all
that we learnt.
Singing and yearning
for Moshiach now.

Giving each other brochos
and having true Simcha;
oh' what a way
to welcome Adar Bais.

May what we learnt
last all year long.
And help us if
G-d forbid we fall.

The Simcha of Adar
should know no bounds.
This weekend really brought out
things we may not have found.

This Shabbos was FAMILYin so many ways.
the feeling should last
all throughout Tof Shin Ayin Bais (5772)

Change

Controlling your thought, speech, and actions
Hashem gives you the strength
Acknowledging your TRUE self
Never-ending battle
Giving up something
Everyone can do it, including MYSELF

Change Is ALWAYS Possible
