00:00 – PARAGRAPH 22. Parshas Mishmatim. אִם־כֶּ֣סֶף | תַּלְוֶ֣ה אֶת־עַמִּ֗י אֶת־הֶֽעָנִי֙ עִמָּ֔ךְ לֹא־תִֽהְיֶ֥ה ל֖וֹ כְּנשֶׁ֑ה לֹֽא־תְשִׂימ֥וּן עָלָ֖יו נֶֽשֶׁךְ – “When you lend money to My people, to the poor person [who is] with you, you shall not behave toward him as a lender; you shall not impose interest upon him” (Shemos 22:24, Mishpatim).
4:00 – The cantillation mark Zarka. Reference to Likutey Moharan 35.
06:30 – PARAGRAPH 23. Hallel. מֽוֹשִׁיבִ֨י | עֲקֶ֬רֶת הַבַּ֗יִת אֵֽם־הַבָּנִ֥ים שְׂמֵחָ֗ה הַֽלְלוּיָֽהּ – “He seats the barren woman of the house as a happy mother of children. Hallelu-Kah” (Tehillim 113:9). בְּצֵ֣את יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל מִמִּצְרָ֑יִם בֵּ֥ית יַֽ֜עֲקֹ֗ב מֵעַ֥ם לֹעֵֽז – “When Israel left Egypt, the house of Yaakov [left] a people of a foreign language” (Tehillim 114:1)
07:30 – The word Shekhina in its full form is Tav Reish Aleph – 601. (The letter Aleph can be either one or a thousand.) Am Yisrael is alluded to as 600,000.
09:00 – וְשִׂמְחַ֥ת עוֹלָ֖ם עַל־רֹאשָׁ֑ם – “…and eternal joy upon their heads…” (Yeshaya 35:10). “Eternal joy upon their heads” refers to the two crowns received by every Jew when we said “naaseh venishma” (Shabbos 88).
13:00 – Am Yisrael has the ability to “rule over” Hashem through tefilah.
13:30 – NOTE – when the Yam Suf split, it parted into 12 paths, corresponding to the 12 shevatim and the different nusachim in Am Yisrael, to this day.
14:00 – Q&R about how a person can repay Hashem – tzaddikim take on part of Am Yisrael’s debt.
***16:30 – NOTE on Parshas Mishpatim – it’s a mitzvah to help a person, but only if the person is trying to help himself. If a person is not willing to help himself, then even a tzaddik is not able to help him.
17:30 – HALAKHA 3. PARAGRAPH 1. Hilkhos HaOsey Shaliach Ligbos Chovo 3 is based on Likutey Moharan 8.
20:30 – PARAGRAPH 2. The power of sighing.
27:20 – Everything Hashem creates is to enable man to praise Him with every breath.
***29:00 – כֹּ֣ל הַ֖נְּשָׁמָה תְּהַלֵּ֥ל יָ֜֗הּ הַֽלְלוּיָֽהּ – “Let every soul [breath] praise Hashem. Hallelu-Kah” (Tehillim 150:6).רַבִּי לֵוִי בְּשֵׁם רַבִּי חֲנִינָא אָמַר, עַל כָּל נְשִׁימָה וּנְשִׁימָה שֶׁאָדָם נוֹשֵׁם צָרִיךְ לְקַלֵּס לַבּוֹרֵא – “Rabbi Levi in the name of Rabbi Chanina said ‘for each and every breath a man breathes he needs to praise the Creator’…” (Bereishis Rabba 14:9).
32:30 – Hiskashrus letzaddik. Every breath a person takes can be immediately returned to the tzaddik through stating that intention once each day.
35:30 – There are many levels of hiskashrus letzaddik.
37:00 – Performing a sin gives energy to the forces of evil.
37:00 – The importance of attaching oneself to true tzaddikim. If a person does not attach himself to the tzaddikim, it has to travel through different channels. During this rerouting, the responsibility of the person’s debt is on his own head and the person’s mitzvos can fall into the hands of the klipos – forces of evil. Reference to Likutey Moharan 4.
42:40 – There are many dangers during a rerouting of a person’s mitzvos and tefilos.
*44:00 – Q&R about the dangers facing those who are not attached to the tzaddik. The angels are afraid of the Tzaddikim. [Eg. The demons feared Rabbi R’ Chanina ben Dosa and R’ Abaye – Rabbi Rosenfeld zal speaks about this HERE.]
47:30 – NOTE on Avraham Avinu standing at the entrance of Gehinnam to intercede on behalf of every Jewish soul.
48:00 – Q&R about attachment to tzaddikim. Since the tzaddikim are hidden, we pray to connect. Reference to Likutey Tefilos 4: Asking Hashem that one’s vidui will be received as if it’s being said in front of a tzaddik.
53:00 – Closing blessings.
