Second (Motzoei Shabbos) version of Basi Ligani 5733, is almost identical to the first one (of Shabbos day). This time we did the whole Maamar in one class. The duality of 1) Coldness to Godliness and 2) Passion to worldliness in the Frierdike Rebbe’s chapter 3 sets up the notion of duality in so many…

The Maamar after Yud Shvat the Rebbe explains the solution to the problem of duality introduced by the Maamarei Hilula. The two will become three (not one) when Moshiach comes. This is “Yerida Tzorech Aliya”. Even the duality in Klipa itself will be transformed when Moshiach comes into passion for Kidusha and the Cold objectivity…

How the story of the arriving at Har Sinai and the giving of the Torah, reflects and gives the strength for the process of the two becoming three (as opposed to before Mattan Torah that there was two and you had to choose one or the other, because there could be no unity) when Moshiach comes.

This Maamar is Muga. This overview of a ma’amar on the last of the Sheva Brachos, “asher bara sason v’simcha”.

For this reason, this shiur is shorter and less complete than…

Class One. There are three Teshuvos in the Pesukim שובה ישראל גו. 1) שובה ישראל עד הוי’ אלוקיך 2) קחו עמכם דברים ושובו אל הוי 3) אמרו אליו כל תשא עון גו They correspond to the three תשובות found in לקוטי תורה ד”ה מה טובו which are: 1) סור מרע, 2) עשה טוב 3) בקש…

Class One. Class Two.

The shabbos before Pesach is “Gadol” because the revelation of “UveMora Gadol” of Yetziyas Mitzaryim is already felt then. This caused the civil war in Egypt where the first born engaged with all of Egypt and many were killed.

The difference between the revelation at “Krias yam Suf” and Leasid can be explained based on the idea of Yesh Ayin Yesh. The Ayin has a lower and higher level. It’s the lower level that was revealed at the Yam Suf; the higher one will be revealed at the “Nahar”.

The Milchama for us is Tefila. Each word in this Possuk and their apparent questions reflect the war of spiritual growth and ascent perfectly.
