The five chapters that precede this were mostly concerning the destruction of “Judah and Jerusalem,” because at that time the state of Israel had already been destroyed by the Assyrians. This came long after the reign of Uzziah, by whose reign the beginning of chapter 6 is dated. This is one of the places that follow the famous rule that “there is no chronological order in the Torah.”The correlation between the Parshah and the haftarah i...2025-02-171h 16The Weekly HaftorahBeshalachTo contact Rabbi Dubov, visit JewishSussex.com.
This week's haftorah describes the fall of the Canaanite general Sisera and his armies, who were swept away by the Kishon River, and Deborah's ensuing song of thanks. This parallels this week's Torah portion which discusses the drowning of the Egyptian forces in the Red Sea and and the subsequent songs led by Moses and Miriam.

Our haftarah is taken from the last part of the book of Jeremiah, in which he delivers a number of prophecies concerning Israel’s neighboring nations.
The time was one of great upheaval. Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia was conquering one empire after another, soon making his nation the superpower of the time. One of the greatest rival empires to Babylonia was Egypt. In this reading, Jeremiah foresees the defeat of the Egyptian Pharaoh and his nation by the Babylonians.

This week's haftorah begins with a mention of the ingathering of the exiles, echoing G‑d's promise mentioned in the Torah portion: "I will take you out of the suffering of Egypt." The prophet then goes on to discuss the decimation of Pharaoh and Egypt, reminiscent of the primary theme of the Torah portion—the devastation G‑d wrought upon Egypt.

The haftarah begins with recalling the descent of Jacob to Egypt (the subject with which Parshat Shemot begins). The Jews struck root and blossomed in a foreign land. When they were treated badly by their host country, the Egyptians eventually suffered the very same suffering they inflicted on the Jews. An example for this was when the Egyptians drowned in the sea, this coming as a punishment for drowning Jewish babies in the Nile. By the same token, if Jews would destroy their idols and leave their sinful...2025-01-171h 11Tanya: The Kabbalah of You | with Rabbi Levi DubovTanya Ch. 35 (3): Bringing G-d into your Physical LifeTanya: The Kabbalah of You #79

In a world where the perfection of a Tzadik is unattainable, we shift our focus to the attainable goal of becoming a Beinoni—a person of moral integrity.
While complete emotional alignment is out of reach, the Tanya teaches us the value of even a small effort toward cultivating this alignment, paving the way for a more spiritual and purposeful existence.

In this inspiring chapter, the Tanya transitions from understanding the "what" to embracing the "how" of becoming a beinoni.
Though initially overwhelming, the journey to being a beinoni is practical and attainable. By consciously making choices that go against our emotions, we can embody the essence of a beinoni's spiritual lifestyle.
The first step on your beinoni journey is to start today by focusing on one decision at a time rather than getting overwhelmed by long-term goals.

Chapter 13 pt. 2
The beinoni's journey is defined by the ongoing inner battle between two opposing souls. Even at the pinnacle of the beinoni's possibility, the Animal Soul lurks beneath the surface. With this, the Alter Rebbe stresses the crucial need for the beinoni to remain ever-vigilant and aware of the Animal Soul's presence.

Chapter 13 pt. 1
Despite the successes of the beinoni in absolute self-mastery, the beinoni must be aware of his vulnerability: He still possesses an Animal Soul that has yet to be compromised and is only growing stronger. And if it weren't for G-d's help, his Godly Soul would not have the power to overrule the Animal Soul.
This honest awareness is crucial for the beinoni to remain vigilant and succeed spiritually.

Chapter 12 pt. 4
This class further explores the Beinoni's self-mastery despite constantly battling their Animal Soul, and How the Beinoni is fundamentally different from a Tzadik.
This class also discusses the importance of engaging in the world consciously, mindfully, and with intentionality, and the idea of sanctifying oneself, even with the permitted things in life.
This class concludes with the importance of self-mastery in interpersonal matters.

By learning about the incredible power of our G-dly soul, we can gain the knowledge and courage needed to harness these powers and master ourselves.

How does one become a Beinoni? How do we find the inner strength to live a life of strength, never lapsing to the weaknesses of the Animal Soul?
As we begin our journey to unlock the secrets of the Beinoni, the Tanya introduces us to the first essential skill that a Beinoni requires: a daily workout for the soul. Through the experience of prayer, we can draw the inspiration and strength we need to navigate the challenges of the day and triumph over them.

After eleven chapters of setting the stage, the Tanya has paved the way for us to dive into the world of the Beinoni. This class will provide a general overview of the Beinoni's character.
Living in the space between a Tzadik and Rasha, the Beinoni is someone who recognizes their inner strengths and commits to living an inspired life of inner resolve and strength.

Chapter 11
One option for the battle between the Divine Soul and the Animal is the "rasha." Rather than referring to a wicked person, the rasha in Tanya describes a state where the Animal Soul gains control over the body, breaching the defenses of the Divine Soul.
In this chapter, we explore the various forms the rasha can take and the cycles of relapse and remorse that mark its nature. However, even in the most extreme cases, the Divine Soul never disappears.

How common are tzadikim? What is the spiritual lifestyle of a tzadik like?
In this class, we highlight two characteristics of a tzadik's life that we can learn from and use to advance our own spiritual development: To transform, instead of reject, negativity; and living a selfless life.

Chapter 10 pt. 1
The war within rages between the two souls, each vying for total dominance over the body. There are five main divisions, each representing a different "front line" of the conflict.
This chapter details the Tzadik's triumphant victory. They reached perfect serenity, with the Divine Soul in complete command and the Animal Soul defeated and powerless.
We also look at two kinds of Tadikim: the "complete Tzadik" and the "incomplete Tzadik."

In this class, we are introduced to one of the fundamental cornerstones of Tanya: the battle of the souls. Each soul wants complete dominion over the entire human experience and has no room or tolerance for the other soul in its agenda.
This friction sets the stage for the Tanya's practical guidance in living a wholesome spiritual life.

After being introduced to our two souls in the previous chapters, the Tanya now explores how these two souls live and interact within us.
We will learn how the Animal Soul, being emotionally impulsive, is headquartered in the left side of the heart. As the Divine Soul begins its expression in the intellect, it is primarily headquartered in the brain while also having a secondary headquarters in the right side of the heart.

Previously, the Alter Rebbe described how the soul can effect change in Kelipah; Kelipas Nogah can, at times, be elevated to holiness or downgraded to the severe level of Kelipah, all based on our interaction with it.
In this chapter, we explore the inverse: the effect the Kelipah has on the soul. Unholy interaction with Kelipah, even Kelipas Nogah, tarnishes the purity of the soul and causes adverse reactions.
As part of this exploration, we cover the concept of punishment and "Gehinom" (hell or purgatory) in Jud...2022-12-281h 03Tanya: The Kabbalah of You | with Rabbi Levi DubovTanya Ch. 7 (2): The Kabbalah of the Permitted and ForbiddenTanya: The Kabbalah of You #20 - Chapter 7 pt. 2
This class continues the previous theme, discussing our interactions with Kelipah. While Kelipas Nogah is "untied" and therefore able to be elevated to holiness, anything that is of the three impure Kelipos is tied down and unable to be moved from its status.
The chapter concludes with a few exceptions to this rule.

What does Judaism think about your physical life? Is it a distraction, even a necessary evil, in the face of the ideal spiritual lifestyle?
The opposite: most of the resources we interact with are opportunities waiting to be elevated to holy experiences.
This class introduces us to the two forms of Kelipah, and how we ought to interact with the higher form, Kelipas Nogah.

Our exploration of the holy G-dly Soul and the non-holy Animal Soul leads us to a larger question: What is holy and sacred, and what is non-holy? What does holiness even mean?
In this class, we explore how Bittul allows something to be holy and how everything that is not holy is in a non-holy category, referred to as Kelipah or Sitra Achara.

After exploring the identity and structure of the G-dly Soul, the Tanya now turns to its counterpart - the Animal Soul.
The Animal Soul is the mirror image and inverse of the G-dly Soul. Its identity, emotions, intellect, and garments are parallel and opposite to the G-dly soul's.

We don't study Torah simply to gain practical direction, knowledge, or inspiration. Rather, G-d invested His very essence into Torah. When we learn it, we allow G-d's will and wisdom to enter within us, becoming a part of who we are.
This is the power of studying Torah. It serves as the "food" for the soul, while the Mitzvos serve as its "clothing."

This class gives an overview of the first four chapters of Tanya. We discuss the concept of the two souls, the Animal Soul and the G-dly Soul (ch. 1-2); the internal structure of the G-dly Soul (ch. 3); and the G-dly soul's three "Garments," i.e. modes of expressions (ch. 4).

Tanya: The Kabbalah of You | with Rabbi Levi DubovTanya Ch. 4 (2): Why a Jew Needs JudaismTanya: The Kabbalah of You #13 - Chapter 4 pt. 2
What is more important, to be a Jew at heart or a Jew in action? If the rituals of Judaism are merely expressions of the soul, then are they really that important? If we already possess a holy Divine Soul that feels connected to G-d, how important are mitzvot?
This leads us to a more profound question: Is it even possible for a finite human being to connect with an infinite G-d? In this class, we challenge our conception of Torah and mitzvot and discover what Judaism gi...2022-05-171h 07Tanya: The Kabbalah of You | with Rabbi Levi DubovTanya Ch. 4 (1): Garments of the SoulTanya: The Kabbalah of You #12 - Chapter 4 pt. 1
Essential to every living being is the need to express themself. And so the Divine Soul possesses three mediums of expression, termed "Garments": thought, speech, and action.
Just as garments express the person garbed within, the soul expresses its intellectual and emotional relationship with G-d via the 613 Mitzvos of the Torah in thought, speech, and action.

The Tanya establishes an important principle: all emotions are the "children" of the intellect. The soul uses the intellectual soul powers to create and shape its emotional world. Specifically, the emotional relationship the soul has with G-d results from its intellectual awareness of G-d.
The class concludes by introducing the third component of the soul's intellect: Da'as, the ability to bond and personalize what the soul knows. Without Da'as, the emotions are not genuine or sustainable.

After being introduced to the Divine Soul, the Tanya introduces us to the inner anatomy of the soul. Our exploration begins with the concept of the Sefiros, the 10 divine energies G-d employed in creation. Our souls mirror that structure with their own set of 10 soul powers.
This class examines the specific powers of Chochmoh and Bina, their particular functions, and how they give birth to emotions.

Seeing the collective of Jewish souls as many parts of a single "body" allows us to understand the role of a Rebbe and leader of the Jewish people. The soul of the Rebbe is compared to the "head" of the entire body, nourishing and leading all the particular souls within the singular organism that is the Jewish people.
The chapter concludes by asking: who decides what soul level we get?

Through a careful analysis of the father-child metaphor and applying it to the G-d-soul relationship, we uncover profound depth in the nature of our souls:
All Jews are one organism; each soul a pure piece of G-d in its source, and even as each specific soul evolves into its own unique and diverse role, it never loses its original identity as a piece of G-d.

Chapter 2 of Tanya introduces us to our second soul: The Divine Soul, a literal piece of G-d. This soul is the core identity of the Jew and is present in every single Jew.
Because of this soul, the Torah refers to the Jewish people as the children of G-d, a theme that will be greatly expounded upon further in the chapter.

The Alter Rebbe introduces us to the doctrine of the Two Souls. We don't have one identity, we have two, distinct and completely independent souls, each with their own identities, drives, and personalities.
We conclude chapter 1 by learning about the Animal Soul. This soul is motivated by its ego and is fully self-absorbed. The spiritual source of this soul is Kelipah, which suppresses any awareness of G-d, allowing the ego to emerge.

The Alter Rebbe begins to resolve the mystery of our purpose, but leaves more questions than answers. The conclusion of this opening exploration is that we must shift from searching on the superficial behavioral level and begin to explore ourselves deeper.

We begin our journey through Tanya with a fundamental question: Who am I? What am I meant to become? What does G-d expect from me? An enigmatic citation from the Talmud leads us into an exploration to define the terms Tzadik (a righteous person), rasha (a wicked person), and a beinoni (an inbetweener).

In response to concerns from his community, the Alter Rebbe boldly illustrates that the Tanya is no ordinary book: the Alter Rebbe intimately knew his followers and wrote the book with each of them in mind. The book would serve as a practical guide to spiritual living dedicated to serving G-d. It would include all the answers to all the questions.

In his introduction to the Tanya, the Alter Rebbe addresses the concerns of his community in response to the publishing of Tanya: can a book truly replace personal guidance and mentorship by a Rebbe?
The question is a personal one for the modern student of the Tanya: is the Tanya for me? Can the Tanya talk to me on a personal level?

The condition of the Jewish community in the European heartland in the second half of the seventeenth century, the founding of the Chassidic movement by the Baal Shem Tov in the early eighteenth century, and the revolution of Rabbi Schneur Zalman, the Alter Rebbe, to create a model with which the energy and ideas of Chassidus can be internalized.
