Class 5

In honor of Vov Tishrei, the yahrzeit of the Rebbe's mother, Rebbetzin Chana, this class delves into a profound teaching from Likkutei Sichos (Vol. 19, pp. 291-297). The Rebbe revolutionizes our understanding of prayer, drawing lessons from the prophetess Chana's example to reveal how asking for our needs can be the ultimate expression of our connection to the divine.

The Rebbe's Maamar "Vayishlach Yehoshua" was first delivered on 28 Sivan, the anniversary of the Rebbe and Rebbetzin's arrival in the USA. The discourse examines the Biblical stories of the spies sent by Moshe and later by Yehoshua and presents them as two models of personal development.

We conclude our study of this work with chapters 7 and 8 in which the Mitteler Rebbe explains why the ruler is in a unique position to give a true and just ruling on his case.

In chapters 5 and 6 of the discourse we examine the quality of Malchus (royalty) and explain how it is, like Tiferes, a representation of the "central vector."

In this class we cover chapters 3-4 of the discourse and examine more deeply the idea of the "middle vector" called Tiferes.

Toward a better understanding of the spiritual mechanisms behind governmental power, Chapter 2 of the Mitteler Rebbe’s discourse, focuses on the three axes—right, left, and center—within the Sefiros.

The Mitteler Rebbe’s letter known as Baad Kodesh was written to appeal for justice during his imprisonment, and explains how Divine authority flows through earthly rulers to enable just governance. In this first class, we study Chapter 1 (of seven chapters) of the letter.

Through teshuvah, even those far from holiness can reveal their inner connection to G‑d, elevating the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy. We study Chapters 7-8 and conclude the maamar.

In this part of the maamar, the Rebbe explains how the "king in the field" analogy does not depict an "arousal from Above" inasmuch as it only reveals that which the people had inside of them all along—namely, a desire to be close to the king. Furthermore, the response of the people causes an elevation in the king himself. We study Chapter 6 and the beginning of chapter 7.

The Rebbe gives a novel interpretation of the reason for the king's smile in the Alter Rebbe's famous parable of the King in the Field. Chapters 4 and 5.
