Likutey Halakhos – Birkhat HaMazon 4 – Para. 11- Chanukah – The Tzaddik and Eretz Yisrael; Sipurey Masiyos – The Blind Beggar. Customs of ShOVaVIM TaT. Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon. The holiness of Eretz Yisrael radiates from the “Eyes of Hashem”.
00:00 – PARAGRAPH 11.
22:00 – QUESTION and RESPONSE: The concept that the eyes of the Tzaddik increases kedushas Eretz Yisrael explains why Moshe Rabbeinu’s last request was to “see” Eretz Yisrael? אֶעְבְּרָה־נָּ֗א וְאֶרְאֶה֙ אֶת־הָאָ֣רֶץ הַטּוֹבָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּעֵ֣בֶר הַיַּרְדֵּ֑ן הָהָ֥ר הַטּ֛וֹב הַזֶּ֖ה וְהַלְּבָנֹֽן
(Devarim/Deuteronomy 3:25). He wasn’t requesting to receive something, he was requesting to give something.
23:50 – Each member of the household lighting the Chanukah lights increases the hispa’arus (pride) of Hashem.
27:20 – Rebbe Nachman once stated: “Through me a person can see the greatness of Hashem.”
46:35 – Reference to the blind beggar in Sipurey Masios, the story of “The Seven Beggars”.
58:00 – QUESTION and RESPONSE about Breslov minhagim (customs) during ShOVaVIM TaT. During a leap year, this is the eight-week period of teshuvah from Parshas Shemos through Parshas Tetzaveh. In non-leap years, it’s six weeks, called ShOVaVIM.
