The 19th of Kislev in the Hebrew calendar marks the liberation from Soviet imprisonment of the founder of Chabad Chassidism, Rabbi Shneur Zalman (also known as the Alter Rebbe) in 1798.
The Rebbe disliked transcending nature by breaking the physical order. He taught that if we want to uplift & transform this world for the good we have to slowly educate our selfish egos that the path of truth and goodness is sweet, and in turn our surroundings will come to agree with the path of truth.
