Classes

08. ViAvrohom Zakain 5744

This Ma’amar is based entirely on the beginning and end of the same Ma’amar from 100 years before: 5644. What is added with words VaHashem Barach Es Avrohom Bakol over the first half of the Possuk. ViAvrohom Zakain deals with overcoming tests, and VaHashem Bairach…, means that there will be no more tests.

07. VaAni Hinai 5744

When Avrohom did a Bris, Goyim lost the idea that from them came great Neshamos. On the other hand, the idea of Gairus became possible. This is a Yerida Tzorech aliya for non-Jews!!!

06. Vihaya Midai Chodesh 5744

Vihaya Midai Chodesh 5744Aliya LiRegel was really meant to be on Rosh Chodesh and Shabbos as well, but it was not commanded because there is a need ‘to see’ (not only be seen) in the Beis Hamikdash. the ability to see Godliness on Shabbos won’t happen until Moshiach comes, because Shabbos is ta’anug (delight) which…

05. Braishis 5744

This Possuk is hard to understand. RaShI explains that it means the first of the things to be created were… The Zohar has trouble with this and explains that this Possuk is about the ten Sfiros. Chassidus adds that 1) the ten S’firos are created Yesh MeAyin, 2) They serve the lower worlds, as they…

04. Liosai Niflaos Gedolos 5744

This Ma’amar explains the connection between the Psukim of Ata HarAisa and Hakafos and Simchas Torah. 1) Ata HarAisa: Achdus on the highest levels, 2) Liosai Niflaos, not like RaShI Yesh MeAyin but like the Ba’al Shem Tov, From Yesh to Ayin that has two advantages: A. Atzmus, B. Revealed. 3) How this is connected…

03. Ulkachtem Lachem 5744

Sukkos is all about Achdus in various aspects: 1) The Four Minim are all naturally inclined towards divisiveness, but they are never the less unified; they become the basis for the Achdus of Lulav: joining together for the Mitzvah of Daled Minim. 2) The Sukka itself unifies (in theory) all the Jews in the world….

02. Shuva Yisroel 5744

Two meanings of ‘Ad’ 1) Malchus, 2) Our Elokim becomes Havaya. Only Havaya can affect Tshuva like this. The free will needed to affect the Tshuva from the highest levels.

01. Zeh Hayom 5744

Class One. 25 Elul vs. Rosh Hashana. 25 Elul: 1) Creation Yesh MeAyin, 2) Braishis, the first or before the first Utterance, 3) Yachid BaOlomo, 4) Emes, 5) Ko is a level of Prophecy. Rosh Hashana: 1) He hides the Neshama in the physical body, 2) Asiya in His Tzelem. Rosh Hashanah joins Zeh (Rosh…

ViKibel Hayehudim 5744.

The Ma’amar of Mesiras Nefesh explains how Purim could complete Mattan Torah and Children could accomplish more than spiritual giants. The lesson for us now (even in Russia and certainly) in the west is obvious.

Basi Ligani 5744.

Class One. This first class is mostly the introduction. 1) The first sins were superimposed by Hashem to have a T’shuva rather than a Tzadik world. 2) This causes it to last forever as 3) darkness is addressed and transformed, 4) Tzivos Hashem achieve this with Mesiras Nefesh and Kabalas Ol, 5) The two Prakim…
