Torah 6 Tinyana: In this lesson Rebbe Nachman teaches us that by sweating for a holy act, you’re able to create joy. The reason for this being is because sadness stems from the spleen, and the spleen is where all the impurities of the blood are filtered. But when those impurities gain strength and overpower the blood’s purity , a person gets sick. The remedy for this illness is to sweat out the toxins within the contaminated blood, which will ultimately bring you joy.

Rabeinu explains how this is true within the word sweat itself, זיעה- an acronym for זה היום עשה יי!

Torah 7 Tinyana: Rabeinu teaches that to be a leader you must have compassion. And this compassion, only Moshe Rabeinu has, for he was the leader of the Jewish People, and will be in the future. Moshe understood what true compassion means: to have compassion on the Jew who falls into sin. Moshe Rabeinu knows the true fragility of the Jewish soul and it’s inability to bear sin, and this is what makes him the man of ultimate compassion.

Moshe Rabeinu/this leader with the ultimate compassion knows that all sins are committed because of a lack of Da’at (G-dly knowledge/consciousness) so he puts all his effort to illuminate the world with true Da’at and to instill this within every person so that the world can be inhabited as G-d wanted!

Rabeinu also explains how the soul is not perfect unless it is both up there (in the upper worlds) and down here as well. How one does this is to transmit true Da’at and fear of Heaven into the world, and to leave a legacy behind: through a student or a son.

Rabeinu also explains that to spread G-dly knowledge and to inspire those around you, you need to have fear of Heaven for your words to have an impact. And once you have this impact, you are able to internalize those transcendent intellects (to understand those perceptions which you didn’t understand previously).

We also discuss these subjects: the wise man of the generation, how the greatest knowledge of all is not to know, how to reinforce those who are spiritually low and humble those who are spiritually high, when to share and not to share with others, how to encompass all the worlds together/the aspect of “son” and “student” together, the illumination of Will at the time of eating, boundless desire for G-d, earning a livelihood, how livelihood is distributed to each and every person, the significance of the hands, Chanukah, Kislev, the significance of healthy lungs, speaking of novelties, etc…
