Annual 8th of Nisan Freedom of Speech Farbrengen: We the People... Part 1
 
Date and Location
Nisan 7, 5766 | April 5, 2006 at Beit Hakneset Hamerkazi, Kfar Chabad
 
Summary
The 8th day of Nisan marks Rabbi Ginsburgh's personal day of redemption from an illegal and unfounded administrative detention. Rabbi Ginsburgh was detained by the Israeli authorities in 1998 for three weeks and was released only after Jewish spiritual and communal leaders around the world campaigned on his behalf against the abhorent actions of the interim Israeli government of the time.
In what looks like it will become a seven part series, Rabbi Ginsburgh began talking about the dictum that: "There is no king without a people." This class focused on the relationship between a leader and his people. The analysis was undertaken by examining the mystical meanings of the word "people" (am) in Hebrew. Three idioms whose intials are ayin mem, the two letters that make up the word "people" in Hebrew, were explored:
Aniti Me'od (Psalms 116:10)
Od Melech (Another King), and
Aitzot Merachok (Isaiah 25:1).
