אתם נצבים ה’תשל”ט 1 This Ma’amar is about the כריתות ברית, the covenant between Hashem and Yidden. We had three covenants connected to Torah; this covenant (according to this Ma’amar) was for Torah SheBa’alPeh. To bring together the highest (רצון העליון) and the lowest (הלכה למעשה). This gives Koach for the three covenants of עולם…

36 אני לדודי ה’תשל”ט This Ma’amar is quite typical for מאמרי אני לדודי. He says that only special people are in the field to greet the king, but after Teshuva everyone gets to greet the king in field. The grounding on the “King in the Field’ is Torah and Mitzvos behaviorally.

חמשה קנינים ה’תשי”ב 2 This Ma’amar places נשמות ישראל above all else including Torah.

10. והתהלכתי בתוככם ה’תשי”א This מאמר is built around three ideas: Idea One: Movement from the bottom (climbing) upwards. This requires many prerequisites, knowing how to travel, being very strong, and having the right clothes. All this is paralleled in Avoda. Idea Two: Movement from the top down. That means one knows (and sees) automatically…

ציון במשפט תפדה ה’תשל”ט This typical ציון במשפט Ma’amar separates ציון from ושבי’ה. The Rebbe explains ציון in two different ways that are both very advantageous: 1) That ציון is the very essence of the Neshama which is reached and revealed through תורה עבודה וגמילות חסדים as רשב”י says of himself אנא סימנא בעלמא this…

אלה מסעי בני ישראל ה’תשל”ט This class has about ten minutes (in the beginning) on the issue of fasts that fall on Shabbos and דעת רבי who says that once they were pushed away we shouldn’t fast at all. The Ma’amar is clear and classic: 1) we are journeying out of Egypt always, as each…
