Hilkhos Geviyas Chov MeyhaLakoshos 5 is based on 2Likutey Moharan 1.
00:00 – PARAGRAPH 13. אָֽמְר֣וּ בְ֖לִבָּם נִינָ֣ם יָ֑חַד שָֽׂרְפ֖וּ כָל־מֽוֹעֲדֵי־אֵ֣ל בָּאָֽרֶץ – “They said in their heart, their rulers together; they burned all the meeting places of Hashem in the Land” (Tehillim 74:8).
03:26 – יְהֹוָ֥ה אֲדֹנֵ֑ינוּ מָֽה־אַדִּ֥יר שִׁ֜מְ֗ךָ בְּכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ – “Hashem, our Master, how mighty is Your Name in all the earth!” (Tehillim 8:10).
*05:46 – The holiness of Eretz Yisrael makes it easier for the Jewish soul to connecting with Hashem. This is why enemies of Am Yisrael focus on separating us from Eretz HaKodesh.
08:36 – A tzaddik is a chariot of Hashem.
*09:13 – NOTE on the first possuk in Parshas Shemos – the word מצרימה is begematria שכינה.
12:30 – Kibbutz Galius – Ingathering of the Exiles.
13:30 – A tzaddik is able to judge all Jews favorably.
14:30 – All souls are rooted in the Kisey HaKavod, which is above the concept of Makom – place.
17:45 – PARAGRAPH 14. Why tzaddikim are above the spiritual level of angels.
***27:00 – Tzaddikim yirshu Aretz. Because Tzaddikim judge all Jews favorably, they are able to bring merit to Am Yisrael on Rosh Hashanah.
28:30 – לִקְדוֹשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־בָּאָ֣רֶץ הֵ֑מָּה – “The holy ones who are in the earth…” (Tehillim 16:3). צַדִּיקִ֥ים יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָ֑רֶץ וְיִשְׁכְּנ֖וּ לָעַ֣ד עָלֶֽיהָ – “The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell forever in it” (Tehillim 37:29).
31:00 – Q&R about how tzaddikim, through free will, make it possible for Hashem’s desire to establish residence in the physical world. This is something angels can’t do, so the tzaddikim are above the spiritual level of angels.
36:30 – Connecting with a tzaddik helps a person succeed in the physical world.
37:00 – Q&R about how to maintain faith through the challenges of physical life. In the end, Am Yisrael will succeed.
40:00 – NOTE: during Shacharis, we progress upward through the Four Worlds. The three steps backward for Shemoneh Esrei are steps away from the physical world, the three steps forward a person enters the Olam HaAtzilus.
42:00 – PARAGRAPH 15. Hilkhos HaOsey Shaliach Ligbos Chovo.
*51:00 – A student succeeds as a shaliach for his teacher only if he is true messenger – that is, the shaliach has the authorization of his teacher. The Tzaddik Emes authorizes his shalichim.
55:00 – Regarding every mitzvah a Jew does, and especially regarding tefilah, merit is required in order for his actions or words to achieve what it needs to achieve in all worlds, and especially in the soul of the Jew performing the mitzvah, or saying the prayer. There are powers opposing every mitzvah and every tefilah. The jealously of angels can block a person’s deeds or prayers from being completely successful.
58:00 – The solution for spiritual opposition is attaching one’s tefilah to the Tzaddik Emes.
***60:00 – If a person attaches himself to unauthorized shaliach – for example a “self appointed rabbi” – the person himself had responsibility for the failure of his mitzvos or tefilos to achieve its potential.
61:0 – Closing blessings.
