03:41 – Uva leTzion.

07:06 – “Ben Chamesh l’mikra” (Pirkei Avos 5:21) relates to Pesach and counting the Omer. Reference to the Arizal in Pri Etz Chaim.

***12:00 – A jewish couple should have as many children as possible. Every Jewish child will eventually have a tikkun.

16:22 – Q&R about how a multitude of people facilitates bringing the Light of Thousands into the world.

The blessing given to Am Yisrael by Yoav compared to that given by Moshe Rabbeinu: יְהֹוָ֞ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֲבֽוֹתֵכֶ֗ם יֹסֵ֧ף עֲלֵיכֶ֛ם כָּכֶ֖ם אֶ֣לֶף פְּעָמִ֑ים – “May HaShem of your forefathers add to you a thousandfold as many as you are…” (Devarim 1:11, Devarim).

Reference to Pri Etz Chaim, Rosh Hashanah 4, concerning Shema Yisrael – which corresponds to Binah – the Upper Shekhina – and Baruch Shem Kevod – which corresponds to Malkhus – the Lower Shekhina. הַֽ֜חֲרֵ֗שׁ וַֽאֲאַלֶּפְךָ֥ חָכְמָֽה – “…be silent and I will teach you wisdom” (Iyov33:33).
*30:13 – Malkus is an aspect of Hundreds – Meah Shaarim, and the 100 posts that held up the Mishkan.
30:41 – The mistake of the Anshei Yericho in “wrapping up” the Light of Thousands. Malkhus HaShem reaches even the lowest places, as in וּ֜מַלְכוּת֗וֹ בַּכֹּ֥ל מָשָֽׁלָה – “… and His kingdom rules over all” (Tehillim 103:19).

37:01 – Closing notes about Sukkos. The Ushpizen – the Seven Shepherds of Israel who visit the sukkah.
37:27 – Reference to Likutey Moharan 22. There are two different orders of the Ushpizen. One is chronological, and one follows the order of the sefiros, which places Moshe Rabbeinu at the center. Breslov chassidim follow the latter order, therefore Moshe Rabbeinu is the Ushpiz of the fourth day of Sukkos, the 18th of Tishrei, which is the yahrzeit of Rebbe Nachman.
***40:22 – NOTE: Chiddush – “Uneshalma parim sefaseinu” וּנְשַׁלְּמָ֥ה פָרִ֖ים שְׂפָתֵֽינוּ – “…and let us render [for] bulls [the offering of] our lips” (Hoshea 14:3) Our tefilah substitutes for the korbonos. The letters of the word פרים correspond to the first and last letters of the words “Pirkei Tehillim”.
42:10 – 70 parim correspond to the 70 nations.
43:00 – NOTE: The Yomim Noraim – Days of Awe – is a time of Yirah – a midah associated with the lion. The word אריה – lion – is an acronym for Elul, Rosh Hashanah, Yom HaKippurim. Through serving HaShem with yirah, Am Yisrael merits His protection: Sukkos is a time of ahava – as in שְׂמֹאלוֹ֙ תַּ֣חַת לְרֹאשִׁ֔י וִֽימִינ֖וֹ תְּחַבְּקֵֽנִי – “His left hand was under my head, and his right hand would embrace me” (Shir HaShirim 2:6). The sukkah is a hug from HaShem.
44:02 – NOTE: The binding together of the Arba Minim represents the unity of Am Yisrael.
45:24 – NOTE: Every mitzvah is a revelation of HaShem’s Shekhina – and this is especially apparent in the mitzvah to dwell in a Sukkah. In the word sukkah – the Samech and Hey (outside letters of the word) equal begematria 65 – gematria of HaShem’s Name A – D – N – Y. The inside letters – Vuv Khaf – equal 26 – the gematria of Y – H – V – H.
46:10 – Closing blessings for Sukkos asking HaShem to protect Am Yisrael completely during this turbulent time and to bring the geulah sheleyma.
