Vayera Patriarchs (07) Likutei Sichos Vol 25 p 86 ff Yitzchok’s Bris is superior not only to Yishmael’s but to Avrohom’s as well. Though Avrohom’s Bris was from higher than reason, but his 99 years of preparation cover this over and the idea that it is entirely from Hashem is not obvious.

Vayera Likutei Sichos – Vol 15 p 122 ff This class combines a Sicha about Avrohom and the Torah Ohr (beginning of Parshas Toldos) that helps enlighten what separated Avrohom from Yitzchok. Avrohom shone light and inspired from above, doing what appears in affect to be forcing Arabs to see things his way and acquiesce…

Class One. Two levels of Bittul, the first is reasonable based, that means ‘koach hagevul’; the second is Bittul with complete abandon (hefker). These two levels correspond to the two interpretations on ‘ViAt UBanayich Tichyi BaNosar’. The Neshama in this world loses touch with her source and falls back on her Yechida. This is revealed…

Class one. Mazal is the source for Children, Health, and Parnassa. In the case of the Jewish people, this is the level of אין which is interpreted to be the deepest level possible. We reach and affect the מזל through an עבודה on the level of בכל מאדיך which is the יחידה. Class Two. This…
