Sicha Insight, Rabbi Avraham Lipszyc

Two seemingly unrelated opinions of Abba Shaul become one and the same, as the Rebbe explores the power a Jew has in bringing a Divinity Revelation beyond creation's realm into our physical realm.

We need but to request the experience of total self-abnegation

After dissecting each phrase in Rashi's seemingly unnecessary comment, and the teaching us the halachic outcome of this Rashi, the Rebbe goes on to teach us its lesson in life:

Rashi teaches us, that in order to be purified, or to help others be purified, before G-d, one must remove his virtuous spiritual garments of honor and glory.

Rather, one must enter into the Holy of Holies of his soul, which can only be entered into via the simplicity of being “ordinary”.

That is how the essence of Yom Kippur works

Why did our Rebbe teach us to purposely eat 'gebrochtz' on the Last Day of Passover?!

Because the Rebbe wants us to taste Moshiach here and now!

More than this, it is permissible to eat "chametz" at the "Meal of Moshiach" which starts on Passover, if the meal extended, and one is now in his Passover meal, after dark! Amazingly, when this person who ate chametz after dark, during his final Passover meal, he will then reciter in his Grace After Meal, the Passover prayer, proclaiming it to still be, "On this day of Passover!"

And this is the taste of Moshiach, using who we are, including our ego, but to serve G-d!

What seems to be simple Rashi commentary upon listing the different categories of the Male Zav Impurities, the Rebbe takes on an amazing journey, which leads us into the "hidden deep concept" of the essence of one of the categories of the Male Zav, that of, "A man who sees two discharges"

Important Correction: In my article and audio, I mistakenly listed the law of, "A man who sees two discharges" together with that of, "A man who sees one discharge," who needs only to have one clean day, and then go to the mikveh that night. This is incorrect. A man who sees two discharges" needs seven clean days, before he can go to the mikveh and become pure. However, unlike A man who sees three discharges" he does not need to bring the offerings in the Holy Temple in order to become pure.

Our marriage with G-d takes place at our Brit Milah*, in which two "Half of a Body," that were separated and estranged from each other, are united as one. Hence, the Bridesmaid brings the baby to the Brit Milah, where the "Groomsman" then takes the baby and brings him to the Chair of Elijah.

The soul had descended from the heights of spirituality, in the depths of physicality, where it becomes distant from G-d, so to speak. However, by the Brit Milah, when the Jew performs the, "My covenant shall be in your flesh as an everlasting covenant," and the physical embodiment is no more a separation for the soul, the two, "half of a body," unite complete the Supernal Marriage between G-d (Groom) and Israel (wife).

Mazal Tov! "Kvater..."

The suffering of tzara'as is inflicted only upon the good.

Why?!

Because only the good merit G-d's love, in offering them to cleanse any hidden evil, which hidden evil expresses itself only in one's external faculty of speech, in words, while not evil, yet not carefully measured.

However, those with revealed evil, who do not work diligently to correct and refine their inner-self, are not offered this external reminder from G-d, for how can impure tzara'as be noticeable in impure skin....

We came to this world to serve G-d, and for this, G-d rewards us with filled treasures in this world as well.

Listen to how the Rebbe weaves through the last two Mishnayos of all 360 Mishnayos, finding the depths of the siyum of studying and living 360 Mishnayos

The Rebbe explores, defines and innovates, upon:

A) Is the 'Kohain Gadol’s Offering' primarily a Communal Offering or an Individual Offering? Which leads to…

[A2) Do we need a special phrase in the verse to teach us that this offer is ‘Tamid - Continuous,’ or not?]

B) In the interim, between a death, and then appointment, of a Kohain Gadol, is the offering brought from the inheritor’s, or from the community’s, monies? Which leads to...

[B2) Do ‘inheritors’ also include a case of “only daughters”, or only when there are “sons”]

C) Is the ‘Tamid - Continuous’ of one ongoing obligation, or is it of a continuous daily renewal of the obligation? Which leads to…

D) Is the 'Tamid - Continuous' daily renewal only of the obligation to bring the offering, or also of the, anointment of the Kohain Gadol? Which leads to…

E) Can the Kohain Gadol (l’chatchilah) do any service, on any day, before he brings his ‘anointment offering?

Mordechai receives a message through the verses recited by children that Israel will rise up to the test of self sacrifice for G-d, and Mordechai rejoices.

However, then Mordechai rents his garments, and goes out crying, creating a mourning by all the Jews. Why?!

Because while Mordechai knew that Israel will arise to the occasions, nevertheless, in order to make this happen, he would have to arouse the Jewish Spark within each and ever Jew.

In other words: Worry not if G-d is forgiving us, for G-d is! Rather, work on being able to open our mind, hear, and soul, so that we can internalize G-d's forgiveness.

The say, "Rome wasn't built in a day!" Well, actually, in scheme of the bigger picture, Rome was built and destroyed within a day or two...

However, our Holy Temple was not built in a day, is still being built, and will be eternal!

Moses started the construction with the Tabernacle in the desert, King Solomon continued it with constructing the First Temple in Jerusalem, Ezra the Scribe continued it with constructing the Second Temple, You and I are continuing it by learning the teachings of the construction of the Holy Temple, and then, G-d Himself will complete it, with the eternal Third Temple coming to us from Heaven!
