Birkhas HaMazon 4 – Kos Shel Bracha – Cup of Wine After a Bread Meal Shared by 10 Men – Looking at the Tzaddik – Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon.
Hilkhos Birkhas HaMazon 4 is based on 2Likutey Moharan 40.

29:40 – QUESTION: What does it mean to “look at the Tzaddik“? RESPONSE: Reference to Likutey Moharan 4.
*34:00 – PARAGRAPH 3. Kos Shel Birkhas HaMazon – cup of wine in honor of the blessings after a bread meal shared by 10 men. HisPearos (pride of HaShem) is the basis for the holiness of Eretz Yisrael, which is drawn through the eyes. This kos represents the tzaddik.
37:00 – PARAGRAPH 3.
37:12 – By looking at this wine, we generate the holiness of Eretz Yisrael.

44:30 – Heard from Rabbi Rosenfeld zal about Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai zal’s two students: the gematria of Rabbi Elazar plus Rabbi Abba is 312 which is exactly twice 156. These two students were the “Eye of HaShem”.
