Hilkhos Sefer Torah 4 is based on 2Likutey Moharan 8.
00:00 – PARAGRAPH 22. Going outside the home on Sukkos.
04:58 – The Ananei HaKavod – Clouds of Glory – are the conduit for Nevuah – prophecy.
06:44 – Reference to Likutey Moharan 266.
10:00 – PARAGRAPH 23. Returning to the home after Sukkos on Shemini Atzeres.
18:00 – Returning into the home after Sukkos brings Hischadshus – a sense of renewal. This renewal depends on being connected to the true Tzaddikim because of their various levels of Nevuah – prophecy. Emunah bChiddush HaOlam – Faith in the Ongoing Renewal of the World.
23:00 – Mezuza – Kriyas Shema – “When you sit in your home and when you travel…”
25:36 – Hischadshus haMochin – reference to Likutey Moharan 35:3 – sleep restores the intellect.
27:00 – NOTE about the spiritual aspects of going outside the home and the possibility of constant Hischadshus. Traveling before Yom Tov is an aspect of going outside the home and returning.
27:27 – PARAGRAPH 24. The process of Galus – exile – and return to Eretz Yisrael reflects the process of going outside the home and returning.
*33:32 – NOTE: By traveling to Uman for Rosh Hashanah, a person is actually traveling to Eretz Yisrael. The Tzaddik has the strongest connection to Eretz Yisrael, so the Kever of a Tzaddik is an aspect of Eretz Yisrael. When people travel to Uman, they are renewing and strengthening their connection to Eretz Yisrael and the Beis HaMikdash.
37:00 – Traveling into and out of the boundaries of holiness. Reference to Likutey Moharan 6.

45:00 – PARAGRAPH 27. Esav insulted his birthright because he didn’t kiss the Mezuza. In contrast, Yaakov Avinu “lived inside the tents” – he valued the Kedushah of the home. The Gematria of Mezuzos is encoded in the word Emes (Midrash Yalkut HaReuveni).
49:00 – HaKol Kol Yaakov is the source of Kedushah – holiness.
52:20 – Q&R about the term “A Field of Holy Apples”.
55:20 – Closing blessings. Hischadshus is possible even when going from one room to another within one’s home.
