from The daily Hayom Yom with Rabbi Yosef Katzman
אַאַמוּ"ר אָמַרMy revered father, the Rebbe [Rashab], once stated:חֲסִידוּת אִיז נָעוּץ תְּחִלָּתָן בְּסוֹפָן וְסוֹפָן בִּתְחִלָּתָן“[To] Chassidus [can be applied the statement], ‘The beginning is rooted in the end and the end in the beginning.’דִי דַּרְגָא פוּן עִגּוּלִים מִבְּלִי אֲשֶׁר יִמָּצֵא רֹאשׁ וְסוֹףThis is the level of Divine influence called iggulim, in which beginning and end are indistinguishable. אָבּעֶר אַחַר כָּל זֶה אִיז דעֶר עִקָּר אִיז סֵדֶר.Nevertheless, this having been said, the main thing is seder — ‘structure.’דעֶר בַּעַל שֵׁם טוֹב אִיז געֶוועֶן אַ מְסוּדָּר“The Baal Shem Tov was an organized person; דעֶר מעֶזרִיטשׁעֶר האָט מְדַקְדֵּק געֶוועֶן אוֹיף סֵדֶרthe Maggid of Mezritch was particular about orderliness;אוּן דעֶר עֶלטעֶר זֵיידעֶ — רַבֵּנוּ הַזָּקֵן — האָט געֶלעֶרעֶנט חֲסִידִים זֵיי זאָלעֶן זַיין מְסוּדָּרִיםand my great-great-grandfather, the Alter Rebbe, taught his chassidim to be orderly. דאָס זעֶהט מעֶן אִין זַיינעֶ מַאֲמָרִים, בְּרִיף, נִגּוּנִיםWe see this in his maamarim, letters, and niggunim. דִי חֲסִידִים וואָס האָבּעֶן געֶהאַט אַ זְמַן קָבוּעַ אוֹיף קוּמעֶן אִין לִיאָזנאָ — דעֶרנאָך אִין לִיאַדִיThe chassidim who had a fixed time to visit Liozna — or later, Liadiהאָבּעֶן נִיט געֶהאַט קֵיין רְשׁוּת בַּייטעֶן דעֶם זְמַן אָן אַ רִשָּׁיוֹן פוּן רֶבִּי'ןwere not allowed to change it without permission from the Alter Rebbe.אוֹיף בּאַקוּמעֶן אַ רִשָּׁיוֹן האָט מעֶן געֶדאַרפט זאָגעֶן אַ טעַםTo receive such license, one had to provide a reason.בּאַם רֶבִּי'ן אִיז געֶוועֶן אַ וַעַד מְיוּחָד אוֹיף פִיהרעֶן סֵדֶר הַחֲסִידִים“The Alter Rebbe established a special committee, to maintain order among the chassidim.וּבְרֹאשׁוֹ מַהַרִי"ל אֲחִי רַבֵּנוּheaded by his brother, R. Yehudah Leib, אוּן אַ בּאַזוּנדעֶר וַעַד אוֹיף אָנפִירעֶן מִיט חֲסִידִישׁעֶ יוּנגעֶלַייטAnd he had a separate committee, to guide the younger married men of the community,וּבְרֹאשׁוֹ אַדְמוּ"ר הָאֶמְצָעִיheaded by the Mitteler Rebbe."Text and Translation courtesy of Sichos in EnglishFor questions and follow-up: [email protected]
