Talmud Tour Session 1 - Berachot 2a & Intro to Talmud Tour Series

From when does one say the Shema in the evening? The Rebbe explains how this first Mishnah in the entire Talmud hints at each of the six Orders of the Mishnah. 'Evening' represents a state of darkness, in which one injects a declaration of faith in G-d, the saying of the Shema. Class Material: http://files.chabadresearch.net/TalmudBerachot2a&Intro.pdf

Concerning Coming to the Land and the Land Resting 1986

The Alef Kabbalah group (13 May 2008) explored the unedited Chassidic-kabbalistic discourse taught by the Lubavitcher Rebbe during the week of Parshat Behar 1986. This begins 'When you Come to the Land..the Land should rest" The discourse explores the fact that the Torah text first presents the idea of the Sabbatical year, the seventh year,when the Land rests, and only later describes the work that will be carried out on the land during the six years, ending with a full account of the Sabbatical year. This leads to exploration of the kabbalistic concept 'the end is joined in the beginning', from the ancient 'Book of Creation'. This Torah text gives an example of this (the image of the seventh Sabbatical year being present from the very beginning of the six years of labour) but it applies in all aspects of life, particularly in seeing the eschatalogical goal of Judaism at every step of our daily lives.
