To the adults (after Mincha) the Rebbe explains the meaning of what he said to the children that dedication to Torah brings material wealth also. Rabbi Akiva’s wealth is hard to explain as he did not inherit it (spiritually). Yet he was rich through his own efforts and it resulted in the idea that all…

The audio is a bit difficult, we’re sorry about this. Rav Akiva and his being the source of all of Torah SheBaal Peh is understood by the fact that he was a ben Gairim. This means he has a connection to the level of ‘Eitz HaDa’as Tov’ to clarify and elevate the world. Page 153.

[13 Iyar thought and some stories that relate to the Rebbe’s brother Laibel]. The rock (the lowest thing) was bored through by the water (that also descended from the highest to the lowest level) and taught Rabbi Akiva that you can start from the bottom and reach the highest level. This lesson is also found…

The Rebbe’s ‘special powers’ were always right, so he’s certainly right about Moshiach, ad Masai. When Ahavas Yisroel stops protecting us the evil things come from other sins not only the lack of Ahavas Yisroel. Page 155-6.

The power to disagree in (Nigla of) Torah and yet get along comes from RaShBI and Pnimiyus HaTorah. Page 156-8.

Class One. Introduction, Purim is mesiras nefesh BiPoel, more than Shavuos, actions now in that direction. Page 24-5. Class Two. Purim represents a Golus time when order is abandoned. The lesson for us from this is that we should engage in learning Chassidus even while we’re still mastering Nigla. The Nigla example from simultaneously doing…

Class Three. Achasvairosh is alternatively an allusion to Hashem and to the physical Persian king. These two are actually in concert, for the reason that when a creation is representing Hashem in the performance of a miracle, he is, for the duration, God! Page 27-9. Class Four. The two extremes of Purim, from the highest…

Class Five. Renewing the custom (that is known as ‘Kupas Rabbeinu’) Tzedaka on the mind of the Rebbe RaShaB. The Rebbe encourages the bringing back of this minhag. Page 31-2.

Class Six. The idea of Achashvairosh meaning Acharis VeRaishis shelo (continues from the second Sicha) means doing good without consideration of your worthiness to do that good. Whether you are in good health materially or spiritually, you (just) do good. Page 32-3. Class Seven. This Sicha returns to the idea of Achashavirosh being Godliness of…

Even Parshas Toldos (until the next Shabbos) is connected to [the Shabbos before:] Chayey Sarah. The marriage of Yitzchok and Rivka is the example chosen to demonstrate Hashem’s love for the Avos because it represents the marriage of Hashem and Yidden . The kidushin is achieved through the nose ring (Mitzvos, like machatzis hashekel) and…
