Chassidus that speaks your Language! Enjoy a weekly Shiur on a Maamar of Chassidus, with a focus on clarity and practical application. Some will be one-week Maamarim, while others will continue over three or four weeks, but each Shiur will contain in it a clear, complete, and concrete lesson, culling from the truth of Chassidus and carrying into our modern-day lives.

    -2 J

    Atah Hareisa 5746 אתה הראת תשמ"ו part 1/2 (Se'if 1-3)

    In this מאמר of שבועות, the רבי explains the concept of the "dew" of תורה that was used to revive the אידן by מתן תורה, and, based on the fundamental teaching of the בעל שם טוב, we experience anew on שבועות every year. It begins with understanding the difference between the concepts of rain - Hashem being משפיע to us reciprocally - and dew - Hashem giving us irrelevant of how we are.

    Gal Einai 5737 גל עיני תשל"ז part 4/4 (Se'if 8-10)

    Finishing the מאמר, the רבי explains the connection between ל"ג בעומר and "עד הגל הזה": The whole point of the barriers of סדר השתלשלות is for the איד through his עבודה (through the גילוי of פנימיות התורה beginning on ל"ג בעומר) to break those barriers, thus showing the true intent and reality of the צמצום. That explains the connection between ל"ג בעומר and "גל עיני": Not just for חסידות to be revealed, but for it to be revealed from the parameters of the תחתון - because that is the truth of what the תחתון really is!

    The רבי continues to show the theme of the מאמר - the "עליונים" being expressed from the "תחתונים" - within the כונות of מצות, as well as in Davening: No matter how high the כונת המצוה is in חסידות and קבלה, the ultimate goal is to show it from the simplest parts of תורה, as well as in the simplest כונות. This is also why the צמח צדק talks about the importance of simplicity in Davening ("אני מתפלל לדעת זה התינוק") specifically in the מאמר that discusses the deepest כונות.

    Gal Einai 5737 גל עיני תשל"ז part 2/4 (Se'if 4-5)

    The point of מתן תורה - and, by extension, the point of ל"ג בעומר - was not the גילוי מלמעלה as much as that the גילוי should be מלמטה ("getting down to the bottom of it"). Thus, the רבי explains the דיוק in the פסוק of "גל עיני" - it is about the person seeing the נפלאות of תורה. On a תורה level, this means seeing the נפלאות of פנימיות התורה from נגלה (as will be explained more in the next שיעור). On a broader level, this means seeing the נפלאות of תורה from the כונת המצות, which answers why the צמח צדק brings the של"ה's explanation of כונת המצות in the middle of the discussion about פנימיות התורה, as will be explained.

    Gal Einai 5737 גל עיני תשל"ז part 1/4 (Se'if 1-3)

    Beginning this ל"ג בעומר מאמר, the רבי quotes a מאמר from the רבי מהר"ש that explains the connection of ל"ג בעומר - the day celebrating רשב"י's revelation of פנימיות התורה - to this פסוק of גל עיני. We also bring from the צמח צדק who quotes the של"ה that "נפלאות מתורתך" means the כוונות of מצות, and now we need to understand the connection between the secrets of תורה and the כוונות of מצות.

    29 MARS

    Beyom Ashtei Asar Yom 5731 part 5/6 (Se'if 7)

    To better understand the wisdom of the one who chooses the King, the רבי analyzes a משל from the אלטער רבי about the various levels of people (and dogs) who benefit from the king's feast. What emerges from the רבי's דיוק is that the מדרש's משל of the ministers who are with the king do not only mean קליפה, but actually include מלאכים and ספירות! The פקח who chooses the king sees through all the spirituality and wants Hashem Himself! We also פארברענג a bit about the message of this מאמר of aligning our full selves with what Hashem wants, the ability to see through the often, many seemingly-correct options and the clarity of choosing what Hashem truly wants.

    Beyom Ashtei Asar Yom 5731 part 4/6 (Se'if 5-6)

    Continuing with the 3rd step of explaining the wisdom of the אידן in their choosing קדושה over קליפה, the רבי explains how it is not about making a choice for a better return, it is rather about purely choosing the King! But not because it makes sense: the profundity of this choice, the רבי continues in the 4th step, is that it does not originate from intellect; it emerges from the נשמה. At the same time, however, the מדרש calls the איד a "פקח", because this essential choice of the נשמה affects the שכל of the איד as well to choose as well. How? Stay tuned...

    25 MARS

    Beyom Ashtei Asar Yom 5731 part 3/6 (Se'if 4-5)

    In this part of the מאמר, the רבי continues with the 2nd step of explaining the wisdom of the אידן in their choosing קדושה over קליפה: Choosing קדושה requires real sacrifice in commitment, ביטול, and sufficing with limited ROI. Whereas קליפה is a free-for-all, no commitment needed, offering a heavy commission fee as well! Why would a איד choose the King? Because the King never leaves. It's about the end game, and in the end, the good guys always win. After the בירור, there will not be any more קליפה, never mind its windfall profits.
