Class One. This is the first of two classes on this classic Ma’amar, outlining the stages of the davening journey from submission and acceptance, to feeling, reason (of the animal and then divine Souls,) and total Bittul in the Amida.

Class Two. The second part of the Maamar addresses 1) how Klipa developed, being at first only a protector of the K’dusah not really opposing K’dusha until after the first sin. 2) Then Klipa and K’dusha were black and white, now there only shades of grey. 3) The Arei Miklat has to do with this inexactitude,…

1) Point One: The day is divided into four. Only in the last quarter of the day, is Hashem enjoying (being “pleasured” by) what we do. This is the playing with Livyasan idea, that we are all the fish in the sea, one with Him, maximally serving Him

04a. Chayey Sara (חיי שרה) 5712, Class One. Chayey Sara, Chava, Noach, and Sara shared the Avoda of bringing Bittul into Murgash [as opposed to Adam and Avrohom whose task was in the realm of the Bilti Murgash]. Noach tried a bittul of Chochma (wine, pinimyus Bina is Chochma) and failed; Sara tried a Bittul…

06a. Vayeshev Yaakov (וישב יעקב) 5712, Class One. Peace exists on two levels: 1) You fight and win resoundingly, 2) there is no fight in the first place, the enemy is automatically vanquished. In Vayeshev, Yaakov is aspiring to the higher peace but gets instead the lower one: In golus Mitzrayim he has tranquility.

Class Three. Answering the question, the war is a Krav and you choose to fight it through Shalom, being above the world. This then shows itself in all three pillars of Torah, GaMaCh, and Tefilla. The Alter Rebbe said this Possuk at the time he was released.

13. Yom Tov Shel Rosh Hashana Samech Vov; Third Round, Class Thirteen.The Pesukim of Malchiyos (Kingship) Zichronos (Remembering us) Shofros.Beginning of the discussion, the questions, part one:He creates every instant so He must be involved, not as the philosophers understood, that He only forms, in which case He does not need to be involved in…

06b. Vayeshev Yaakov (וישב יעקב) 5712, Class Two. The Chanukah miracles are like Pada BiShalom since the victory was miraculous, but it has two parts: 1) The war this Pada BiShalom needed to be and it was complicated by the actual battle. 2) The Oil and their burning eight days was altogether unnecessary. It was…

Class Two. 2) Just as Parnassa is done so indifferently that it ends up being a chore, so too קבלת עול מלכות שמים on the highest level is where the person has no personal interest, only what  Hashem wants. This also overturns the sin of עגל which is עבודה זרה.

Class Three. The beginning and the end of the Ma’amar deal with two ideas: 1) How Purim is different than all the other Yomim Tovim in that it will be distinct after Moshiach comes, as it represents higher than Hishtalshelus. 2) The two big changes of Purim are in A. Torah, that it became ours…
