Class One. This class discusses the idea of the splitting the river (בינה) to reveal the essence [מעיין- חכמה]. Just like קריעת ים סוף was not only to save the Jewish people but to reveal Godliness as a preparation for מתן תורה, similarly, the splitting of the נהר prepares for the revelation of פנימיות התורה....

The following Ma’amar is a Hemshech to the one before. Class One. In this class we continued the discussion from the last class, that Moshiach teaches Tzadikim how to do Teshuva. Teshuva is based on ריחוק the feeling of being distant. Ordinary people can feel this from ordinary distance (sin,) but Tzadikim don’t sin. Moshiach...

Class One. This class which discusses the very beginning and very end of this difficult Ma’amar, gets at the essence of this Ma’amar. The questions: 1) Vinacha… Ruach Hashem allows for no opposites but we then follow up with dualities: Chochma UBina etc. 2) How can there be duality in Ein Sof (LIma’amla Ma’amala and...

Class One. 1) Ratzon creates Olomos in Himself along with space (and time), 2) Tzimtzum, first of all reveals the space, 3) Second of all by leaving over the Reshimu and removing the light completely, the Keili become the bottom and most powerful, 4) When the light comes back it is altogether a different Ohr,...

Class One. The Hemshech continues. The Ma’amar wishes to explain Tzimtzum to us, so we will understand the significance of reversing it in revealing Godliness in the ‘space’ of the Tzimtzum when Moshiach comes. To explain this he begins (indirectly, by) discussing what is ‘before’ (Godliness is simple and worldliness must be learned) and ‘after’...

Class One. The similarities and difference between קריעת ים סוף when we left מצרים and בקיעת הנהר when Moshiach comes. Both are not to get us out of Galus alone; but to set up the giving of the Torah and the associated revelation of אין סוף that accompanies such a revelation. קריעת ים סוף removing...

Vihecherim 5718, Class One.(In this Ma’amar) There are three levels of Havaya: 1) הוי’ דלתתא and 2) הוי’ דלעילא and הוי’ שבעצמות.This class will discuss the first two of the three “Havaya”s.A.

23. Vihigadeta LiVincha 5735 (Ma’amar 1 of Hemshech of 2 Ma’amarim).The Rebbe said 2 Ma’amarim (one on Shabbos 10 Nissan, and one on Sunday 11 Nissan) with the same title (דיבור המתחיל), and the same basic design.

24. Vihigadeta LiVincha 5735 (Ma’amar 2nd of Hemshech of 2 Ma’amarim).The Rebbe said 2 Ma’amarim (one on Shabbos 10 Nissan, and one on Sunday 11 Nissan) with the same title (דיבור המתחיל), and the same basic design. This is the second of these two.The key idea in (both) these Ma’amarim is that בנך means the...

26. Kol Dodi 5736 (1) Shabbos HaGadolThis Ma’amar explains the ‘need’ for Hashem to ‘jump’ and get us out of Mitzrayim after 210 years, because we made our situation much worse (ירידה גדולה ביותר למטה ממה שהי’ צריך להיות) that we wouldn’t have survived [and would have been many MORE years than the original 400],...

28. Vinacha 5736, Acharon Shel Pesach (Third of a Hemshech)This Ma’amar addresses the issue of the ‘leap’ (מדלג על ההרים מקפץ על הגבעות) discussed in thge previous two (pre-Pesach) Ma’amarim (on the Possuk (קול דודי הנה זה בא מדלג… ומקפץ) as it relates to Moshiach’s coming. But here, when He leaps when Moshoach comes, we...

Vikacha Tochlu Oso 5737 (this is a 11 Nissan/ Pesach Ma’amar), Class One.This is the first of two Ma’amarim in a Hemshech.The idea of Chipozon (haste) will spiritually hold through until Moshiach.The idea of Chipazon is in Schechina, Yisroel, Mitzrayim.But it begins with Yidden and from there to Schechina and Mitzrayim.Chipazon is seen in each...

Hemshech from 11 Nissan) Class One.This Ma’amar (the second of two parts of a Hemshech based on the וככה תרל”ז) discusses how Liasid will be different than what was by Yetzias Mitzrayim,The Ma’amar begins (however) by pointing out that even after Moshiach comes (and there’s Bekias HaNahar) we...

Ki Yishalcha 5738 (Class One)This first class (on this most complex of Ma’amarim) is the heart (center or Biur) of the Ma’amar as a whole. [Chapters 4-7].The three levels of עדות חוקים משפטים are explored here.In Pshat the oreder should be משפטים חוקים עדותBut here the Possuk orders them differently: עדות חוקים משפטים and the...

Bichol Dor Vador 5738 Class One.This Ma’amar will be divided into two classes:Class one the meaning of Mitzrayim.There are two broad categories of what is מצרים, but they’re in two more basic categories:Category One: מצרים means narrowness and limitation. 1) The physical and spiritual limitations we must overcome. 2) The idea of מיצר מי the...

Kimei Tzaischa… Arenu Nuflaos 5738, Class One.The Ma’amar is built around two definitions of אראנו נפלאותFirst Deffinition (Tzemach Tzedek) נפלאות- miracles concealed in nature; אראנו- are revealed.Second Definition (Mitteler Rebbe) נפלאות- the supernatural that dazzles and overwhelms and therefore isn’t understood or sustained with us is אראנו- revealed, where טבע holds למעלה מהטבע because when...

UviRashei Chadsheichem 5738 (Hemshech to Kimei Tziascha) Class One.Introduction: What is Mussaf? above Histalshelus.The mention of יציאת מצרים even after Moshiach some is due to some unique property of the initial Geula: the struggle!This will be special even then. Why Yidden ran away and won’t run when Moshiach comes. UviRashei Chadsheichem 5738, Class Two.This class...

Class One. To justify creation and the darkness involved we have three ideas: 1) ירידה צורך עלי’ה by going down we go higher 2) נתאוה הקב”ה להיות לו ית’ דירה בחתונים Hashem wants a home in the lowest world 3) Teshuva, The third idea of Teshuva is a must, without it the first two aren’t...

כימי צאתך ה’תשל”ט This Ma’amar addresses the basic question: Didn’t leaving Egypt take one day not many days? The basic answer is that until Moshiach comes we continue leaving Mitzrayim. A) There are limitations of evil. This actually happens in the ONE day. We leave Egypt, this is called מיצר והעלם. B) There are limitations...

In this Maamar the Rebbe adds a fifth level above the four levels of Geula discussed above. More specifically it breaks down into: 1) Iskafia and Ishapcha (the 2 ideas of מצה or סור מרע ועשה טוב) 2) which then becomes four: סור מרע ועשה טוב in Torah and mitzvos which radiate from סור מרע...

Class One. The journey only begins when the Jewish people left Mitzrayim, it ends when they arrive in Eretz Yisroel. Class Two. This is the parallel of the above: the journey that stretches from יציאת מצרים until משיח comes!

A י”א ניסן Ma’amar. Class One .The בן חכם knows what עדות חוקים ומשפטים are. He is questioning the אשר ציוה ה’ אלוקינו אתכם. The constant in all three categories is that Hashem must command us to do the עדות חוקים ומשפטים because we would do none of them on our own. In other words...

Class One. יציאת מצרים actually and as it relates to the ירידת הנשמה למטה happens in stages: It goes from one step to another (downwards) going into the Galus and from one step to another going out of the Galus. Each Geula is a Galus compared to a later Geula, and it continues forever. Class...

Class One. This class introduces three ideas of Matza: 1) Matza Aniya in Mitzrayim, 2) Matza Aniya after they left Mitzrayim, 3) Matza Ashira. The three appear to be connected to the three אהבות that are three levels of ביטול in this מאמר in the following order: ואהבת את הוי’ אלוקיך בכל… 1) נפשך 2)...

We ask that what we do be sweet from above time until time on the lowest level. This מאמר explains how high the work of Yidden reach. It also speaks glowingly about the שרש of the Jewish people. A mystical connection between this Possuk and Erev Pesach.

Class One. In this class very little text was read, we explained three ideas: 1) השתלשלות הכתרים זה מזה there’s a special relationship between all כתר. This happens by each world ending in a point which is tiny compared to itself, but it is the basis for the infinity (כתר) of the next world. 2)...

Based on a Ma’amar of the Tzemach Tzedek. The first three days separated קליפת נוגה from ג’ קליפות הטמאות לגמרי. The fourth day elevates קליפת נוגה in אתכפיא. Eating is אתהפכא.

Class One. The question: why speak of Yetzias Mitzrayim after Moshiach comes, since that redemption will be much higher? Answer One: Because there is some similarity, as both are connected to revealing the 50 gates of Bina (but not on the same levels). Answer two: Because all Geulos -freedom- begins with Yetzias Mitzrayim and it...

Class One. The two allusions to Matza in the Haggada, one in Mitzrayim and another as they were leaving. חידוש נפלא הנמצא במאמר זה that אתכפיא is higher than אתהפכא. This is the basis for how we understand הא לחמא עני’ די אכלו אבהתנא בארעא דמצרים. Class Two. The Ma’amar inside. Two Matzos- before and...

Class One. The point that separates קריעת ים from לעתיד לבא is, That at Yetzias Mitzrayim what was limited and our initiative was uplifted into clarity like seeing, Emuna and Bittul, while when Moshiach comes, the faith and clarity of seeing will be brought down into our understanding etc. Class Two. In this class we...

Class One. Introduction: to explain the timelessness of Yetzias Mitzrayim. Why we keep referring to Yetzias Mitzrayim throughout all of Galuyos, This is understood by focusing on the Ruchniyus of Yiddishkeit as a priority over the Gashmiyus. The spiritual process of mind to heart provides for a daily need for going out of constraints. Class...

This class begins with a short discussion on Yom Haatzmaut. This Maamar can be learned in three sections: 1) We link Moshiach to Yetzias Mitzayim, as all of our history is an ongoing continuum of Yerida Tzorech Aliya, where even the lowest moments are part of the Aliya ultimately. 2) Netzach reveals the very essence...

Ki Yishalcha Bincha 5744. The Ben Chochom already knows Aidus Chukim and Mishpatim, what is bothering him is, why our Yiddishkeit is different than the Avos and is connected to action. The answer is that ‘Avadim haYinu’-, the challenges in Mitzrayim raised us up to the level of being able to elevate physical things also....

Class One. This class exposes the fact that the Rebbe is basing this Ma’amar on the Ma’amar of the Previous Rebbe, yet he takes it in an entirely different direction, making this Ma’amar quite original. The conflicting Midrashim: Does the sea need the Jew or the Jew need the sea, is explained by the Previous...

Kimai Tzaischa Ma’Eretz Mitzrayim 5745. (A 11 Nissan Ma’amar). Class One. The first half of this Ma’amar explains the idea that we continue to leave Mitzrayim in space and in time (as we journey through our history and move from place to place) until Moshiach comes. The Rebbe explores the highest source of Mitzrayim in...

Class One. (A thought on 28 Nissan 5773). This Maamar which discusses Yetzias Mitzrayim and Krias Yam Suf back then vs. the final Geula, explains (first) that to get the Torah down into this world there needed to be preparation from both ends. From the world’s end this was Yetzias (going out of and breaking...

Class One. The Ben Chachom’s (wise son’s) two questions are 1) Why are we changing from the Avos and focusing pn stead on the physical and ritual part of each Mitzvah, what possible depth can they inspire. 2) [And] if, in fact, the shift has been made to the physical Mitzvos, then all should be...

The following two Maamarim (are both Muga) and were said (apparently) in conjunction with Acharon Shel Pesach 5746. And are both presented here. Viavdi Dovid 5746. Acharon Shel Pesach (Muga). Two opposing approaches to understanding Hashem’s purpose in creation: 1) Talmud: that is all about being close. It is the delight of Yiddishkeit. 2) Maase’:...

The miracles of the splitting of the sea as well as the miracle of the future- splitting of “The River” are much more than miracles. They prepare Yidden for Torah on two levels.
