12 Pesukim for Parents is a new series in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Twelve Pesukim. In this first class, we explore the opening verse—Torah Tziva Lanu Moshe—and the Rebbe’s vision behind teaching these verses to children. This class helps parents understand what Torah Tziva truly means: conveying to our children the preciousness of Torah.
Each video in this series will uncover another pasuk, offering insight into how parents can bring the Rebbe’s vision to life in their homes.

In this powerful lecture marking the shloshim (30-day memorial) of his mother, Rivkah bas Avraham obm, Rabbi Shais Taub weaves personal memory with Torah insight in a way that is both intimate and intellectually arresting. Drawing on his mother’s life as a speech pathologist, he explores what it truly means that the human being is defined by speech—how words emerge from the deepest levels of the soul, and how language can shape identity and destiny. Along the way, he shares formative childhood stories, including how she taught him to write, the first (and last) time he ever lied to her, and the quiet moments of parenting that profoundly shaped his inner life.
The lecture moves beyond biography into unexpected territory, tracing a line from Tanya and Onkelos’ description of the human soul as a “speaking spirit” to modern linguistic theory. Rabbi Taub recounts how his mother found support for Noam Chomsky’s ideas about language in the writings of the Alter Rebbe, including a clip from Rabbi Taub’s own conversation with Chomsky. He also reflects on her lifelong love of Chabad niggunim—first learned as a teenager from Zalman Schechter—and her remarkable positivity through twelve years of serious illness. Timed to Tu B’Shvat, the lecture becomes a meditation on the power of gratitude and positivity.
