ויולך הוי’ את הים

Class Two. Simcha: 1) Joy reveals the Atzmus created through the avoda of Dira BiTachtonim, 2) The prerequisite to joy is humility, 3) The joy (before the original sin was naturally) without murgash., 4) Nowadays the joy is bimurgash, and we must therefore have the joy hidden and the Yirah revealed. The Rebbe’s new approach.

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 of malchus and succeeded because she…

Class One. In one’s Avodas Hashem there are choices: 1) Live above the Nefesh HaBahamis, in which case no transformation takes place in the person and right after Davening and learning one can fall. 2) Fight with the Nefesh haBahamis but treat him like an equal in which case the fight is incessant. 3) Fight…

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. 3)  This is the end of the Ma’amar explaining the Pesukim– Vayakheil, to gather all aspects of all Yidden and the world in general, and join them together in the effort of making a דירה לו יתברך בתחתונים. This is through work ששת ימים תעשה מלאכה, so we can have משיח, which is…

Class One. 1) Moshe gives instructions the day after Yom Kippur about correcting the sin of the Golden Calf. This requires total Bitul of the Avoda Zara idea on all levels. This is achieved by a totally indifferent attitude toward Parnassa, which makes Parnassa something we do only because we MUST and accordingly one does…

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…
