Yom HaKippurim 1 – Harnessing the Animal Soul – Importance of Marriage – Moshe Rabbeinu and Tziporah – Tikkun HaBris for Women – Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon.
Hilkhos Yom HaKippurim 1 is based on Likutey Moharan 29.

• 01:18 PARAGRAPH 2. The Kohen Gadol is not permitted to enter the Kadosh Kadoshim without spiritual preparation.
• 02:40 The purpose of sacrifices offered in the Beis HaMikdash were to subdue animal desires in man. אַל־תִּהְיוּ כְּסוּס כְּפֶרֶד אֵין הָבִין בְּמֶתֶג ורֶסֶן עֶדְיוֹ לִבְלוֹם בַּל קְרוֹב אֵלֶֽיךָ – “Be not as a horse, as a mule with no discernment, who must be held with bit and bridle, so when he’s being groomed, he doesn’t come near you” (Tehillim 32:9). Roshei Teyvos (initial first letters) of the words בְּמֶתֶג ורֶסֶן עֶדְיוֹ לִבְלוֹם spell בועל.
• 07:46 PARAGRAPH 3. Tikkun HaBris is prerequisite to receiving the Torah. One of the ways this level of purity is achieved is through observing the mitzvos of Yom Kippur.
• 15:45 *Q&R: How does Tikkun HaBris (guarding the covenant) apply to women? In addition to tznius – modesty and maintaining purity between husband and wife, shemiras haloshon is especially relevant for women since malchus peh is an aspect of shemiras habris and women have nine tenths of the world’s power of speech (Kiddushin 49b). Preparing for and observing Shabbos is also an aspect of Shemiras Habris. Reference to Likutey Moharan 36.
• 17:32 Q&R about Nadav and Avihu.
• 24:27 PARAGRAPH 4. Through fasting a person can subdue physical desires. Reference to Likutey Moharan 37.
• 33:30 The 5 restraints of Yom Kippur.
• 43:49 PARAGRAPH 5a. On Yom Kippur we say ברוך שם כבוד מלכותו לעולם ועד aloud.
