Classes

35) Karov Hashem 5744

Class One. Moshe’s explaining to the Malachim that they didn’t get the Torah because they have no Yetzer Hara etc, is really about the idea of Dira Bitachtonim. Fortunate is one who comes here (to Gan Eden) with the Talmud in his hand, meaning he brings along the level of Torah connected to action. Class…

36) Viavad HaLevi 5744

In this Ma’amar, he explores the idea that Gevuros don’t begin to be corrected until Korach (!!) and Levi. Gevuros should really not be correctable (and then the evil is never transformed) but through Chesed, even the Gevuros are elevated and transformed.

37) Vihaya Midai Chodesh

This Ma’amar is teaching how to learn a Ma’amar. When you don’t understand ask! The Rebbe discusses two Ma’amarim: the Ma’amarim of Rosh Chodesh and Machar Chodesh and for the most part asks but does not answer any of his questions, to teach us how to learn. Shabbos and Rosh Chodesh are opposites yet they…

38) Ma Tovu 5744

Why does it say only once ‘Ma Tovu’ for Ohalim and Mishkanos? Answer: by Jews even the temporary, Ohel, is permanent.

39) Pada Bishalom 5744

Class One. The Gemarah that links this Possuk to Torah Avoda and Gemilas Chasadim. The Rebbe links this to ‘the three pillars on which the world stands’. These three are affecting one’s 1) mind, 2) body, 3) world. The narrow world (the person) and the greater world. Yerida Tzorech Aliya of the Neshama, from a…

40) Tzav es Bnei Yisroel 5744

Korbanos do and don’t apply in the times of Galus, why? They do in tefilla, but they don’t in action, Why? Korbanos must show their Godly effect immediately or they cannot be offered! This is the meaning of ‘Nachas Ruach SheAmarti vina’aseh R’tzoni’, that his will was revealed immedaitely. We explore how this idea differs…

41) Aile Masai 5744

These Journeys set up all the Birurim in history. Though the desert has nothing to elevate (Birurim) and settle (Dira BiTachtonim), it is the defeat of the Shoresh of Klipa, so that the lesser Klipos can have an Aliyah.

42. Tzion Bimishpat Tipade’ 5744

Torah and Tzedaka, first the sublime, then the material. Ultimately Tzedaka ascends higher than Torah. This Maamar was (and is) learned lizchus Shmuel Menachem Mendel ben Shulamis for a complete recovery and inner and outer (personal and familial) peace of mind. Amain! Another Version from Beis Midrash Linashim

43. LoHayu yamim Tovim… 5744

Class One. The greatest Yerida brings the biggest Aliya. Connection to Monday and the Shir Shel Yom: Gadol Havaya Umehulal Miod Bi’Ir Elokainu two insights: 1) He is seen as greater, 2) He is actually greater! Class Two. 15 Menachem and its importance.

44. VaYa’achilcha Es Haman 5744

Dew and rain, Rachamim and Rachamim Rabim.
