ועשית חג שבועות ה’תשל”ט This class has a lengthy introduction explaining כתר and specifically פנימיות הכתר and it’s unique connection to חג השבועות. In this class each of the seven questions the Rebbe asks is addressed and explained one after another. Shavuos we “do” by the preparing we do before.

This Ma’amar addresses the lesson (and timeless relevance) of the entire discussion on the three sub-tribes of לוי and their meaning for us now.

דעו כי הוי’ הוא האלוקים התשל”ט This is a י”ב תמוז Ma’amar For the Rebbe RaYaTz beginning his hundredth year, when he would recite פרק ק in Tehillim. The point of the Ma’amar is to explain that we עמו וצאן הרעיתו were tasked to affect הוי’ הוא האלוקים in the world through work. The idea…

אלה מסעי בני ישראל ה’תשל”ט This class has about ten minutes (in the beginning) on the issue of fasts that fall on Shabbos and דעת רבי who says that once they were pushed away we shouldn’t fast at all. The Ma’amar is clear and classic: 1) we are journeying out of Egypt always, as each…

36 אני לדודי ה’תשל”ט This Ma’amar is quite typical for מאמרי אני לדודי. He says that only special people are in the field to greet the king, but after Teshuva everyone gets to greet the king in field. The grounding on the “King in the Field’ is Torah and Mitzvos behaviorally.
