A very involved Padah Bishalom Ma’amar. Shalom is Yechida that gives koach to a lower Yid to serve on the level of total hisbatlus, even if his Yechida is not revealed. The Yechida is the idea of “Ki BiRabim Hayu Imadi” [1) Yachid sherabim tzrichin lo, 2) The nitzutzei kidusha in Klipa also want an…

גדול יהי’ כבוד הבית הזה האחרון מן הראשון ה’תשכ”בPDF Class One. If creation was from שם הוי’ה only. Incredibly far and incredibly Bottul. Space and time would not exist at all. Class Two. The world as it is created by the combination of שמות הוי’ ואלקים where the הוי’ה shines through. That is how Godliness…

This Ma’amar is Muga. The Biur in this Ma’amar discusses the three juxtapositions of 1) Bracha and Tefilla, 2) Torah and Tefilla, 3) Torah of RaShBI and Tefilla. In this third level, all separations are broken and this Torah reaches the Ein Sof, creates Keilim and is an assured effect. The Ma’amar itself juxtaposed the…

This Ma’amar has a Simchas Torah idea, but was said on Monday (Noach) 29 Tishrei (to the departing guests). Liosei Niflaso 5722, a Simchas Torah Maamar based directly on the Alter Rebbe’s version, which creates for a very interesting learn. There are three (or four) levels: A. Kindness, B. the source of kindness C. and…

Class One. Osim Rtzono Shel Makom, (Creating a new Ratzon) Joining Sovev and Mimalei; Sovev HaAtzmi. Bchol Livovecha, Nafshecha, Miodecha. Class Two. Wells are Yitzchok’s avoda. They represent looking for Ahava (love for Hashem) deep within oneself. There are various steps to removing the blockages to the love and then there are several levels of…

Class One. This shiur attempts to explain the differences between the four (basic) levels of Ohr Ein Sof. Our Ma’amar deals with 1) Lifnei Hatzimtzum (only Igul) 2) After the Tzimtzum in Ein Sof (Igul and Kav are together); 3) Atzilus (only Ein Sof of Kav); 4) The NeHI that can split and come into…

Tanya chapter 41 talks of two levels of total self-sacrifice for Hashem. The lower level is Mesiras Nefesh al Kidush Hashem for one’s own sake while the second is to serve Hashem for Hashem’s sake to achieve His end. Why is the first level not good enough? The Possuk Vishavti BiShalom means that this level…

A Maamar on Hallel which is a D’rabanan. This Maamar based on the Alter Rebbe’s Hodu LaHasham Ki Tov from Halel reveals three levels of divine revelation: 1) Light and Vessels, 2) The light and the “guf” (body) and 3) Possuk katan that is even higher than guf. These three are linked to 1) DeOraisa,…

This Ma’amar is (on the surface) very vague and difficult. The idea (seems to be) is that the splitting of sea at Yetzias Mitzrayim and of Bekias HaNahar when Moshiach comes as a preparation for the revelations of the Torah (which is Chochma) that was to follow. The Ma’amar is trying to understand how Midos…

This Maamr is really a “Im Kesef talve” Maamar. This Ma’amar which deals with Gemilas Chasadim, places this Mitzva not only above Tzedaka, but above all the Mitzvos: Tzeadaka corrects BY”A, Mitzvos enhance Atzilus, GeMaCh touches the Ein Sof and it has nothing to correct, change or improve. So, the reward for touching Keser, is…
