37. החלצו ה’תש”מ.

Class One. Introduction about a fast that is nidcha and Rebbi’s opinion. Midian shares with Amalaik the notion of irrational opposition (but in Midian’s case) to peace and unity. It is a war against HAVAYA.

Class Two. Introduction about the Alter Rebbe’s wedding anniversary and his (married) life. The fight with Midyan is with Havaya Himself. Real peace has to do with Havaya, Torah etc.
