Hidden Lights of Torah

Niggun Havayah is a journey of the soul wrestling with uncertianly and awakening to the Divine saftey, love, presence and comfort that is Havayah, this moment.

Hayayah is all of us: our deepest selves, our innermost light and our innermost reservoir of healing and wholeness.

As the mind slips into "hayah", the past of what was and "Yiheyeh" the future of what will be, we gently remind the mind to withdraw from the center to allow the soul's timeless light of present moment awakening and wholeness to permeate our being.

In doing so, we land in Havayah.

Here, and only here, do we encounter our innermost selves & innermost light.

Torah on Parshat Behar how Shmitah is anticapitalist by nature and challenges us to create an equal society where all have access and plenty.

Brief Shiur on two paragraphs from Rebbbe Nachman's Likutie Moharan Torah 112, where we learn about how accepting our limitations and leaning into our discomfort creates for us the portals to transform our darkness into light.

What relevance does Purim being the holiday focused on the acceptance of Torah She B'all Peh have for our generation? This shiur explores how Purim is a time to continue the tradition of Torah She B'all Peh through creative halachic rulings rooted in the tradition of the Oral law.

Purim as the Acceptance of the Oral Law:

See Rav Tzadok Pri Tzadik, Purim, Chapter 2:

לעשות אותם ימי משתה ושמחה. העיקר בימים האלה המשתה והוא עפמ"ש (זח"ג רעא ב) לכו לחמו בלחמי דא אורייתא דבכתב ושתו ביין מסכתי דא יינא דאוריתא דבעל פה. ועיקר קטרוג המן נתעורר על ידי שהגיע אז זמן התפשטות תורה שבעל פה. וכמו שזכו אחר כך לאור תורה שבעל פה שנקראת אורה וכמ"ש (שבת פח.) הדר קבלוה בימי אחשורוש והיינו התורה שבעל פה שע"ז היה הכפיית ההר כגיגית (כמו שנת' זכור מא' יד). ואיתא בגמרא (חולין קלט :) משה מן התורה מנין כו' המן מן התורה מנין כו' וצריך להבין למה נצרך לפרש רמז על משה רבינו ע"ה בתורה וכל התורה מלא משמו ונקראת ע"ש תורת משה.

Torah on Parshat Metzorah from the sefer Aish Kodesh, the Pieseczna Rebbe's collection of near weekly sermons to his holy flock from within the destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto, on Yom Hazikaron laShoah ve-laG'vurah, a day that celebrates the inner strength of the survivors and those who fought back against the Nazi destruction.

The Rebbe discusses how concealed within destruction is Redemption, and one must try to believe that everything that happens is for the good. We also looked at 2 Torah teachings from Rebbe Nachman of Breslov who reiterated the Rebbe's messages regrading the limits of knowledge and the power of faith in G-d's goodness. (Sichot Haran 3; Likutie Moharan 4:1)

We learned Torah 6 and 8 from Rebbe Nachman's Likutie MoHaran where Rebbe Nachman discusses in Torah 6 how one must embrace from the offset that Teshuva/Repentance/Returning to G-d and our essential selves, is a two pronged process of failure and success, of ups and downs, of doing more but also accepting just being where we are at.

In Torah 8, Rebbe Nachman talks about the importance of the breathe, of breathing, pausing, living in the now and accepting our lack.

Inspired after the recent Zusha song Basi Lgani, we learned the Mamar, Bati L’gani, that the Lubavitcher Rebbe gave over upon accepting the mantle as the 7th Rebbe of Chabad on the 10th of Tevet, 1951.

The Rebbe reminds us how G-d’s presence is abundantly found even in the lowest chambers of existence, and how it is a Jews responsibility to reveal this Divinity that exists wherever they find themselves.

A Torah from Reb Natan of Breslov's Likutie Halachot in honor of his Yertzite, on how we need to look for the good within ourselves, why the Jewish people's first mitzvah was to sanctify the moon, and how there's no such thing as a Jew having gone to far.

We learned a piece from the sefer Aish Kodesh on this weeks Parsha, Parshat Cheyei Sarah, while also looking at a piece in Rebbe Nachman's Likutei Moharan Tanyana 12 on screaming out to G-d.

Rebbe Nachman and Rav Kook's conception of who and what is the Tzadik. Pulling from Shmoneh Kvatzim, Rebbe Nachman's Stories and Likutie Moharan.
