Rabbi Wilk

סגולת קרבת הצדיקים והחכמים וקבריהם – דרשות הר”ן ועוד

1. The separate missions of the Jewish People and the Nations, and the ensuing darkness due to the switching of the orders.
2. Rambam’s view that the purpose of Creation wasn’t the Jewish nation more than any other part of the Creation, and the Kabbalistic take on this.
3. Rav Kook and Rav Charlap’s kabbalistic eye on history and current events – we’re always moving forward!
4. The Nations persecution of the Jewish People brings to their demise, and the ultimate revelation of Hashem Echod.
5. Don’t be afraid of Moshiach! Daven for it.

• The Jewish quality of wanting to grasp the ungraspable, and how it actually becomes possible.
• The mistake of the Tzaddukim (-Sadducees) and their denial of Torah shebaal peh.
• The deeper underpinnings of the dispute between the Sages and the Tzaddukim regarding the laws of Parah Adumah (-red heifer).
• A completely original take on what took place with Yaakov, Yosef and the brothers. 

סגולת ישראל, המלאכיית

עוד בענין הבנת חטא העגל, והלקח שאין בעבודת ה’ מקום להשערה והגיון, אלא הכל רק ע”פ ציווי השם

1. Jewish dreams in galus, sparks of prophecy.
2. The paradox of tzimtzum.
3. Understanding tzimtzum through a parable from the relationship of thoughts and words.
4. Tzimtzumim in Jewish history. 

1. A few words in honor of Rav Yechiel Michel Charlop’s yahrtzeit this week.
2. Ruach hakodesh, nevuah, and the nevuah of Moshe.
3. Prophecy of the Jewish Nation and collective (not just individuals in it).
4. Taking seriously even movements which are against the Torah. 

מה היה טיבו של חטא העגל, ולמה זה היה פחות חומר ממה שנראה

1. The yearnings and aspirations for the physical revival of the Jewish people and its statehood are sourced in holiness.
2. The root of the mistake of those secular Jews who think that we must detach from our past in order to build a new future in Israel.
3. The secular Zionist movement and its accomplishments are in the aspect of Noach – some praise it and some denounce it.
4. The soul of Moshe and the call of the day. 

חלות הענין האלוקי בעם ישראל עד שהגיעו כולם אל מעלת הדיבור, וסגולת ישראל גם לממרים.
