Ep. 531: How Does Basi L’Gani Capture the Central Theme and Mission of Our Seventh Generation?
from MyLife: Chassidus Applied · host Rabbi Simon Jacobson
Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:Yud Shevat – 75 Years What is the significance of this milestone? How does Basi L’Gani capture the central theme and mission of our seventh generation? What lessons do we learn from chapter 15 of Basi L’Gani? What is the chiddush that the most hidden treasures – l'maaleh maaleh ad ayn kaytz – are splurged on to the foot soldiers empowering them to be victorious over the enemies? What did each Rebbe add to the understanding of tzimtzum? Why did the maamar Basi L’Gani 5745 create a buzz by Chassidim? What are the practical applications of knowing that there are tzimtzumim before the tzimtzum ha’rishon (as explained in Basi L’Gani 5745)? What does chassidus mean when it refers to Hashem’s essence as light – etzem ha’ohr? Why is ohr so fundamental in uniting G-d with existence? What’s the point of knowing that G-d is so great that we can never really know him? Can we say that spreading the teachings of Chassidus by the Rebbeim is an expression of “splurging the treasures” (bizbuz ha'otzros)? How do we apply the statement that all sevenths are precious? If the Alter Rebbe opposed France and the West, why did the Frierdiker Rebbe settle in the United States? What’s the best way to receive a response from the Rebbe today? What is the central theme of this Torah chapter? What personal and global lessons does it offer us? Can we apply the continuing story of exodus to the hostages today? Is G-d hardening the hearts of Hamas? Does the recent release of some hostages reflect the energy of redemption we read about in these weekly portions? How do we tap into this energy? Once G-d promised Jacob that He Himself would redeem him and his children, why did He appoint Moshe to lead the Jews out of Egypt?
