This is a Shabbos HaGadol Ma’amar.

בעשור לחודש ה’תשמ”ב. Based on a Ma’amar of the Tzemach Tzedek. The first three days separated קליפת נוגה from ג’ קליפות הטמאות לגמרי. The fourth day elevates קליפת נוגה in אתכפיא. Eating is אתהפכא.

החדש הזה לכם ה’תשמ”ב. Class One. This is a Parshas HaChodesh Ma’amar.

There are four levels: 1) World, where divisions of time are not real 2) When Hashem “Chose” His world. Adding this choice makes the world of value to Him, but He puts His essence into it so the value is real. 3) the (theoretical) idea that will (one day be) Ya’akov and his children. 4)…

החודש הזה לכם ה’תשמ”א.

(פרשת החודש) Class One. This class begins with a lengthy introduction about the Rebbe’s unique contribution to מאמרי חסידות. One of the Rebbe’s big new ideas is the idea of the אלקות of חושך וצמצום עצמו. This class explains the aforementioned idea by explaining why the Torah begins with (darkness) בראשית ברא אלוקים which must…

18. ויאמר הוי’ אל משה… בעשור לחודש… ויקחו להם איש שה לבית… ה’תשמ”א.

This Ma’amar discusses the idea of one being a seminal point which matures when it develops all ten aspects. It interprets the word בעשור (as opposed to בעשירי) as meaning all ten, meaning, that each later day includes all the preceding ones until ten. Ten is the completion of one’s personal wholeness; of קשוט עצמך….

17. החודש הזה לכם (בא) ה’תשמ”א.

Why one would think the Torah should begin with החודש- which is the directly holy involvement of the צדיק, ישכר, תורה ותפילה but in the end the תורה begins with בראשית because in the connection of the תורה to the נותן התורה action, בעל תשובה, זבולן is actually primary.

החדש ה’תשט”ז. A Parshas Hachodesh Ma’amar.

Class One. The Midrash discusses the idea of טובים השניים מן האחד by the communication of the first Mitzvah. Moshe and Aharon שושבינא דמלכא שושבינא דמטרוניתא. Physical vs. Spiritual Chometz. Torah is Bitul, Aharon is love, love cannot achieve the Bitul Torah can. [Therefore two anticipated in this first communication]. Class Two. Moshe and Aharon…

Class One. 1) Creation, 2) Choosing creation, 3) Fixing Rosh Chodesh and Rosh Hashana, 4) Choosing Yaakov and his son, 5) Fixing Rosh Chodesh of Geula, Why is Rosh Chodesh of geula at a different time and not joined with Rosh Hashana etc. Answer: it is higher than the entire phenomenon of Rosh Hashana. Why…

HaChodesh Haze Luchem 5713. (5772/2012).

(A Parshas HaChodesh Maamar). This Maamar explains the need to go through a lower step in order to reach a higher one. Creation is based on Tzimtzum, which can be (and is) in Avoda the idea of Chisaron (deficiency). First the Chisaron must be corrected and (only) then can the higher ideas come forward. This…

Vayehi Bishalach Paro 5747.
