2022-05-221h 01Likutei Moharan10.2 Torah 10 V'Eleh HaMishpatim pt 2 of 31. After explaining that a Tzaddik is in line with ‘Ruach’ which is able to ‘break’ aspects of avodah zarah and ga’aveh, we continue to explain that one who attaches himself to such a Tzaddik is able to draw on that element of Ruach -entering his Lev, which in turn will extend into his feet and hands, resulting in dancing and clapping! Once this Ruach energizes his feet and hands, he will no longer be attached to, and effected by, the koach of avodah zara/sitra achra and in turn will merit emunah, and Divine decrees that wer...
2022-02-131h 062022-02-0927 minLikutei Moharan9.2 Torah 9 Tehomos Yechasyumu pt 2 of 2 4. After discussing how one can overcome impediments (shine the light of truth through the darkness that surrounds him), we discuss how one can use the appropriate vehicle of prayer in light of the fact that he does not know which of the 12 tribes he is from, i.e. which distinct nusach of prayer he should utilize. Specifically this is achieved through binding ones tefillos to the Tzaddik HaDor (see Point 3 above discussing Yaakov Avinu as incorporating the shevatim so as to be able to direct all tefilla appropriately). We also reference ‘Moshe’ and ‘Moshiach.’ It is worthwhile to...
2022-02-091h 11Likutei Moharan9.1 Torah 9 Tehomos Yechasyumu pt 1 of 21. The essence of life force comes from tefillah; One should pray with all of his energy and concentration, and then his energy will be renewed from within the letters of the prayer, thus energizing himself as well as all of creation. 2. To properly trigger divine energy, prayer must be channeled appropriately and effectively. This can be challenging as each of the 12 tribes of the Jewish people has its own “nusach” individualized version of prayer (and one does not necessarily know how his tefillah must be structured); Upon one prayer in the proper way...

Torah 8 further explains that only a "Tzaddik Gamur," a completely righteous individual who has distinguished, separated, and eliminated expelled all evil from themselves, is equipped to oppose and actively contend with evil without harm befalling them. This is because to challenge a wicked person, one must descend into the realm that vitalizes the wicked in order to subdue it. (Suggestion for practical example: For instance, two individuals may seem indistinguishable in a house of study, but if they had to descend into a place with inappropriate influences for outreach work, their reactions might differ based on their p...
2022-01-301h 03Likutei Moharan8.1 Torah 8 Menoras Zahav pt 1 of 4Some terms/ideas discussed: Ruach (Chaim); Krechtz/sigh; Tzaddik haDor/Rav; Ruach Tzafon; Dovid HaMelech’s Harp; Rav d’Klipah; Esav; Ruach haTum’ah1Divine (spiritual) “Ruach” is the source of vitality, and what sustains every aspect of creation. When one experiences chisaron (deficiency) in any area of life, this is because of limited ruach flowing to that area (as a result of sin). One can remedy this deficiency by tapping into divine Ruach through a sigh/groan (and associated physical deep breath) during Tefillah as part of the teshuva process bringing about a corresponding “erech apayim...

If you wanted to try one that will totally resonate, this would not be the wrong choice: notes below...1We discussed the relationship of concepts, including:Emunah, Tefillah, Nissim, Eretz Yisroel, Yaakov Avinu (and the 12 Shevatim), and Moshiach, contrasted with Mitzryaim (inclusive of exiles, generally) and belief in ‘natural causes’ in lieu of acknowledging Hashem’s involvement in the world. (Further in the Torah, we will discuss Emes and attachment to Tzaddikim as well as the Kabbalas Hatorah and the Mitzva of Tzitzis)Galus is a func...

These have an inverse relationship such that as one minimizes his own honor, he is zoche to Kevod Elokim, which is a revelation of Keter (see below).Perhaps on a simple level we can understand that Kavod represents the assignment of value (to things not necessarily on a tangible or monetary scale). To the extent that one prioritizes KEvod Elokim and ratzon Hashem and ultimately understands one’s own value solely in the context of his role in Hashem’s Master...

2021-12-3059 minLikutei Moharan2.3 Torah 2 Kitzur LM: Emor el HaKohanimThe primary weapon to be used by a Jew against opposition is Tefillah. The path to merit the this Tefillah, which is the essence of vitality, is Shmiras ha'Bris. Additionally a person has to understand the appropriate way to 'wield' this weapon of tefillah through mishpat, a middle, stable approach which is does not frame ones approach to Hashem in a biased way. Additionally giving tzedaka (also a bechina of Mishpat) before tefillah will also help one engage and keep his thoughts alligned.One must engage in both Torah study and Tefillah, which...

2021-12-2853 minLikutei Moharan2.1 Torah 2 Emor el HaKohanim Pt 1 of 2We begin with a Kabbalistic statement (above our pay grade!) that Moshiach will draw his “Ruach” (life force) from the spiritual element referred to as “nukva d’pardaska”(nekev ha’chotem, or ‘opening of the nose.’) As we go deeper into this Torah, we will be introduced to the concepts of Tefillah and Ruach being associated with the Chotem (nose), and begin to build on certain concepts that will be referenced in later shiurim.Some of the concepts that we will discuss include: Tefillah; Moshiach; Ruach; Chotem (“nose”); Yosef; Yesod; Shmiras HaBris; Bechora; Names of HKBH (A”B, S”G, M”H, B”N); the...

While it is tempting to focus on the “bigger” aveiros that we do in fact regret, it is the areas of subtlety where we have created a new framework that does not include G-d and it is from this mindset, however small the move, that we must break out of.
