Erev Rosh Chodesh Shvat (5776/ 2016)

A thought.The Ba’al Shem Tov spoke בלשון אידיש in Yiddish Davka.

Rosh Chodesh Shvat 5779.

Rosh Chodesh Shvat is:1) the day the Rebbe wrote the letter about the Yahrtzeit 10 Shvat (it was a sign of Nesius). 2) The day Moshe translated the Torah in 70 languages and the implications from this are forever.

Class One.

Introduction: What is a Rebbe? Like Moshe Rabbeinu- he takes the same Torah and shows where it’s new emphasis lies today and makes it current and alive.

Class Two.

The Sicha starts. The Maamar Basi Ligani is the Rebbe RaYatz’s will, and its lessons are found at the beginning (Dira BiTachtonim) and the end (don’t postpone any good thing until later) of the Maamar. Page 139-140.

Class Three.

1) Dira is beyond reason; it reveals the purpose for creation but isn’t really an explanation, 2) Tachtonim, the Frierdike Rebbe led down this path and we follow. Page 140.

Class Four.

Hashem desires for 1) Himself 2) a Home 3) In the lowest world. This is the only place this can happen because all three ideas depend on one another. Discussion on relationships and the question of a relationship with Him Himself. Page 140-1.

Class Five.

1) A home, where one lives “in all his essence”, 2) Only down here can we have a relationship with Him because we’re not trying. Bittul is a Keli for Atzmus. Page 141.

Class Six.

The three points of 1) “Lo Yisborech” [which means] for Him alone, 2) Dira- [a home, which means] that is constant and never changing , and 3) Tachtonim [which means] that all tasks are equal are all interdependent. Only complete altruism can result in all tasks being equal and that even the simplest of tasks…

Class Seven.

The Frierdike’ (previous) Rebbe’s life was a lifetime of constant Mesiras Nefesh in all three aspects: 1) Just for Him, 2) Complete Sacrifice, 3) Involvement in the most basic aspects of Yiddishkeit. Page 142

Class Eight.

Continued discussion on the constantly changing yet entirely constant Mesiras Nefesh of the Frierdike’ Rebbe. Page 142.
