“Eibershter” is a Yiddish term for God. Here’s some additional information about the word:

The term “Eibershter” is a Yiddish word that refers to the Almighty, the Creator, or God. It is often used in Jewish religious contexts, particularly within Chassidic and Yeshivish communities. Let’s explore a bit more about this concept:
- Serving the Eibershter Irrationally:
- In Chassidic thought, there is an emphasis on serving God with passion, devotion, and even irrational love. Reb Yoel Kahn, in his project “Serving the Eibershter Irrationally,” discusses practical education and inspiration for Anash (a term used to refer to Chabad Chassidim).
- The concept of building a personal “Mishkan” (sanctuary) within oneself is central. Just as the physical Mishkan was constructed to house the Divine Presence, every individual is encouraged to create a spiritual dwelling place for the Eibershter within their heart and soul1.
- Shlichus (Mission) of the Eibershter:
- The Rebbe emphasized the importance of fulfilling one’s mission (shlichus) in this world. Whether it’s delivering matzos to the airport or any other task, each action can be infused with purpose and devotion.
- By embracing our connection with the Eibershter and subjugating ourselves to His will, we can find fulfillment and happiness in our spiritual journey2.
- Chassidus and Spiritual Fulfillment:
- Chassidus teaches that our relationship with the Eibershter is unbreakable. By studying Chassidic teachings, we can deepen our understanding and connection.
- Fulfillment and happiness come from aligning our lives with the Eibershter’s will, transcending rational limitations, and striving for a higher level of conduct3.
Remember that these concepts are deeply rooted in Chassidic philosophy and may not be familiar to everyone. If you have further questions or want to explore any specific aspect, feel free to ask! 😊
