Hilkhos Netilas Yadayim Shacharis 4 is based on Likutey Moharan 65.
00:00 – PARAGRAPH 7. Pharaoh’s dream – the seven cows and the seven sheaves. What does it mean that Yosef HaTzaddik was “eye to eye” with Pharaoh?

32:10 – PARAGRAPH 8. Our soul is constantly yearning for HaShem, whether we realize it or not.
***39:30 – Progress in serving HaShem means turmoil – a sense of humor helps! Rebbe Nachman attended a wedding where an entertainer dressed up first as a malach (angel) and then as a galuch (priest). Rebbe Nachman told his students, “That’s us!” NOTE: “Bitul” – spiritual surrender.
40:54 – Tzitzis bring the same light that one can access while in the state of bitul.
44:00 – Techeles (dark sky blue).
47:06 – PARAGRAPH 9. Why do Tzitzis precede Tefillin?
58:50 – PARAGRAPH 10. Tefillin and techeles enable us to visualize our tachlis (ultimate purpose) via the light of HaShem’s Ohr Ayn Sof.
