Toras Menachem Vol 27 p 273-281

Shemos Exile and Redemption (061) [See Likutei Sichos vol. 16 pp. 475-479] This oral class (is based on a Sicha, though no Sicha was read), explains that for a nation to be born, where even the greatest sinners are members, we must be branded on the deepest levels of the subconscious, and that was Galus...

Shemos Exile and Redemption (073) Moshe leaves Egypt, Ethiopia, Yisro and his role. Bila’am, Iyov, Yisro.

Shemos Exile and Redemption (074) Leadership. Moshe meets Hashem at the burning bush where the Yidden are discussed. He is encouraged to become the leader but never forced. He argues for a week before acquiescing.

Shemos Exile and Redemption (066) The punishment and exile included drowning the boys in the River but not the girls. The Rebbe points out that the “keeping the girls alive” was also part of the decree, it means living in the spirit of Egypt and their worship of nature. It explains the deeper meaning of...

Shemos Exile and Redemption (062) The entire Chumash Shmos means names because it explains how we go into Galus and how we survive and thrive.

Shemos Exile and Redemption (065) Making the Jews bitter was not only physical but spiritual, they became distracted from who they are really and this is real bitterness. The lesson.

Shemos Exile and Redemption (067) [Same as Exile and Redemption (063) Sicha, but discussing the beginning and the end rather than the middle]. Moshe the redeemer needed to be above the limitations of all (3) levels of exile, his mother therefore was conceived outside of Egypt, and miraculously became young to give birth to Moshe,...

Shemos Exile and Redemption (063) This class deals only with the part of the Sicha about Yosef. Though Levi survives Yosef by twenty years the death of Yosef marks the beginning of the Galus from the spiritual sense. The level of miracles that Ya’akov brought with him to Egypt passed with Yosef’s death.

Shemos Exile and Redemption (076) In the beginning and in the end, the difference. When the Yidden left Mitzrayim they were like sons of a father, where all are redeemed (even sinners) unless they refuse to be. When Moshiach comes, we will be chosen. Choice is only about the chooser, and not the chosen at...

Shemos Exile and Redemption (075) Moshe proposes that Moshiach redeem the Jews from Egypt rather than him, but Hashem tells him that now is his time, and Moshiach will use the Torah Moshe received to correct the world altogether.

Shemos Exile and Redemption (064) and (069)

Shemos Exile and Redemption (068)

Shemos Exile and Redemption (071) Moshe grows up like he was born: at birth he already displayed his future greatness in two aspects: A. He was born circumcised, revealing an incredibly lofty personal level, B. He was born with the Shechina indicating his preparedness to lead the Jewish people. The two ויגדל הילד, ויגדל משה...

Shemos Exile and Redemption (081) Moshe and Aharon (who are Leviim and not enslaved) get involved in other Yidden’s business and this is the only thing that can usher in the Geula. In spite of the Pharaoh’s protests.

Shemos Exile and Redemption (079)

Shemos Exile and Redemption (070) Moshe being Moshe forever from the moment he’s born.

Shemos Exile and Redemption (072) Loshon HaRa is the only thing that prevents a nation from being formed, even if God is the Creator. Idolatry isn’t as negative as disunity.

Likutei Sichos – Vol 36 p 1 ff
