Hilkhos Matanah 3 is based on 2Likutey Moharan 78 and on 2Likutey Moharan 67.
00:00 – NOTE – This evening, the 12th of Kislev, is the yahrzeit of the Bas Ayin – Rav Avraham Dov B’Rav Dovid of Ovritch zal. A biographical account in Breslov sources that a young child recognized Rebbi Nachman as “A guter Yid” – “Miracle Worker” (literally “A Good Jew”). The child passed away soon thereafter. Since the Bas Ayin lived in the town where this incident occurred, it is assumed that Rebbe Nachman met the Bas Ayin.
02:00 – Mordekhai HaTzaddik represents the Tzaddik Emes – Rosh Bayis – in every generation. The bitter scream and mourning – sackcloth and ashes – of Mordekhai and his generation were necessary to defeat Amalek.
06:00 – PARAGRAPH 6. The source of light for the generation is the Tzaddik Emes – Rosh Bayis.
08:20 – PARAGRAPH 7. Haman chose Adar for the Pur – lottery – because that was the month in which Moshe Rabbeinu was niftar.
11:00 – ***“No generation is an orphan.” In each and every generation there is a Rosh Bayis involved in building the Mishkan which results in the defeat the false leaders of the generation.
12:20 – Moshe Rabbeinu’s birthday was also on the 7th of Adar.
14:00 – PARAGRAPH 8. Parshas Vayakhel. Medrash: Yad al Kis Kah – HaShem’s Name and Throne are not complete until Amalek is wiped out. רְאוּ קָרָא יְהוָה בְּשֵׁם בְּצַלְאֵל – “…See, HaShem has called by name Bezalel…” (Shemos 35:30, Vayakhel). Why Betzalel was chosen to create the keylim of the Mishkan. Reference to Likutey Moharan
18:45 – PARAGRAPH 9. The 4 Parshios read before and after Purim correspond to the 4 parshios in Tefillin. These 4 Parshios all contribute to the downfall of Amalek.
20:00 – Parshas Shekalim. Parshas Ki Sisa. The first letters of Rosh Beni Yisrael spell Rebbi.
23:20 – NOTE: The Vilna Gaon zal wrote that whatever the Beis HaMikdash can do, the Tzaddik can do.
24:30 – PARAGRAPH 10. Parshas Zachor.
27:00 – Q&R about shuls and batei medrash being called Mikdash Ma’at.
28:20 – ***Q&R about connecting with the Tzaddik every day. Each day is completely new. The importance of
30:00 – Q&R – Rabbi Rosenfeld zal on hilkhos kashrus – the impurity of a beriyah – complete organism – cannot be nullified if it falls into kosher food that is 60 times its size. However the Talmud Bavli brings that a beriya can be nullified if it falls into kosher food that is 960 times its size. 964. A person is a beriya – he goes into a mikvah, which is 40 Seah. One Seah is 24 Lugim. 40 x 24 is 960. A day can completely purify a person – 24 hours. A Tzaddik also has the power of a mikveh.
35:00 – ***Q&R – What do I do today to connect with the Tzaddik?
36:00 – PARAGRAPH 11. The importance of praying to HaShem and asking HaShem to help us to recognize true tzaddikim. The Satan is powerless on Yom Kippur. The light of Purim is greater than any other light during the year. Reference to the Pri Etz Chaim.
41:20 – Megilas Esther.
45:00 – Otzar Matnas Chinam – Treasury of Free Gifts that sustained the world before Matan Torah.
46:00 – ***NOTE: Story heard from Rabbi Elyah Chaim Rosen zal. A chossid was saying the bakasha before saying Tehillim and kept repeating the words: “favor me from the Otzar Matnas Chinam”. Am Yisrael is dependent on the Otzar Matnas Chinam.
47:45 – “Tzedakah u’Mishpat” refers to Tefilah saving us when our merit can’t.
53:00 – ***NOTE: A Breslover does not allow his mistakes to discourage him.
