A very involved Padah Bishalom Ma’amar. Shalom is Yechida that gives koach to a lower Yid to serve on the level of total hisbatlus, even if his Yechida is not revealed. The Yechida is the idea of “Ki BiRabim Hayu Imadi” [1) Yachid sherabim tzrichin lo, 2) The nitzutzei kidusha in Klipa also want an...

Class One.

Pada BiShalom 5737 (3rd of three part Hemshech about Pada Bishalom), Class One.This Ma’amar seems to be a repeat of the Ma’amar of Shabbos (19 Kislev) before it, Katonti.The ideas of war and peace (Dovid, Shlomo, Moshiach) are discussed; as well as the ideas of Avoda (Iskafia, Ishapcha, NaRaN, Chaya and Yechida) are also repeated.And...

Pada BiShalom 5739 (Muga) A Tes Kislev Ma’amar Class One: This class is on the Biur (heart) of the Ma’amar. First we review (orally) the levels of NaRaN (Hilabshus and struggle,) Chaya (Struggle but no direct meeting, meaning no Hislabshus,) and Yechida (No Hislabshus, no struggle as there is no opposition). Then inside, why even...

One week before his Passing the Mitteler Rebbe said a Maamar explaining the mystical basis for this evil decree. The Maamar is quite intense.

Class One. This (first of two) class on this Ma’amar explores the idea of Shalom. To have peace from war has two aspects: A. The evil is נתבטל בעצם מהותו altogether nullified. B. The weapon used to defeat the enemy has to be transcendent- above the struggle altogether. He explains three levels in this: A....

Yaakov went down into Galus and achieved a greater height, Teshuva, wealth etc. Because of the קרב- the struggle the redemption is more peaceful. Going into קרב 3 levels: 1) war, 2) up close body to body, 3) up close soul to soul (which is even closer, but brings one up even higher).

The standard Pada BiShalom (explaining the Possuk, not the Gemara) is repeated here. The level of peace follows the level of war. It begins (war) in little children who go towards peace as they age. This idea is explored in this class.

This Korbanos Maamar made its way into the winter because it was a newly printed Sefer of the Mitteler Rebbe. The Maamar (in general) makes two points about a Korban: 1) to sacrifice and transform, 2) Uplift and bring close. The Rebbe proposes that these two also exist in Pada BiShalom 1) Tefilla, 2) Torah.

Pada Bishalom has levels 1) that now is only potential and the Shalom will be revealed when Moshiach comes, 2) That the Shalom is revealed at the moment of the Tzadik’s histalkus, 3Z) That the Tzadik experiences the Shalom during his lifetime. This Ma’amar observes that the Mitteler Rebbe’s Yahrtzeit being the day before his...
