Hilkhos Geviyas Chov MeyhaLakoshos 5 is based on 2Likutey Moharan 1.
***00:00 – PARAGRAPH 37. Parshas Shelach.
05:50 – The meraglim were victims of the jealousy of the nephilim – the fallen angels. Even today, the nephilim continue to be envious of man and oppose man’s spiritual progress.
07:30 – “We were as grasshoppers in their eyes”
08:00 – The meraglim fell into desire to become leaders, and this arrogance made them vulnerable to the jealousy of the angels.
10:00 – Yehoshua was saved from arrogance because he had faith in Moshe Rabbeinu. Caleb’s merit was that he prayed at Maaras HaMachpeleh – burial site of the Avos and Imahos in Chevron.
13:00 – Tzaddikim have the ability to elevate Am Yisrael to a spiritual level above makom – above the concept of place.
17:00 – The worst exile is spiritual exile. ***The libations in Beis HaMikdash went into the depths of the earth during the offerings and the music of the Leviim.
19:15 – Yonah.
20:40 – PARAGRAPH 38. Dovid HaMelech searched for the place of the Beis HaMikdash and made all the preparations for its future construction. He excavated for the pipes that would sink into the depths of the earth.
22:00 – Tehillim 30 “Hashem lifted me up from the shaol” (and other possukim). “From the depths.”
23:00 – “Dovid HaMelech is Moshiach.”
24:30 – Dovid HaMelech excavated for the pipes under the Beis HaMikdash and the waters of the tehom rose to a dangerous level, threatening to destroy the world. Dovid HaMelech cried, “Whoever doesn’t reveal the secret of how to lower the waters will die”. Achitophel then revealed the secret, but because he initially withheld the information, he died by strangulation.
28:00 – Hashem’s light must reach the darkest, lowest extremes of restriction. Reference to Likutey Moharan 56.
30:00 – Achitophel’s mistake was that he refused to believe that Hashem’s power reaches the depths and that the power of teshuvah is limited. Medrash Tehillim on the possuk, Mah tishallel – “Why is this evil person priding himself on this evil?”
34:00 – Chesed Keyl col hayom.
37:00 – Reference to Likutey Moharan 47? The throat represents the two pipes reaching to the depths of the earth beneath the Beis HaMikdash.
*38:00 – Yeshaya 30 – the Beis Hamikdash is called the throat of the world.
*39:00 – Shir HaShirim – your throat. All the prayers of everyone in the world rise up, above the concept of space, are all rising via the Beis HaMikdash.
***40:00 – Parshas Shelach is immediately followed by the pouring of the libations in the Beis HaMikdash. Summary and conclusion for the inyan of the meraglim. “Eventually, even the lowest places will be elevated.”
42:00 – PARAGRAPH 39. Shir HaShirim. “How beautiful are your footsteps” – refers to anyone who travels for the sake of a mitzvah, and especially to the journeys taken to visit one’s rabbi. It’s through traveling that every step they take, they’re elevating the physicality of the place to “above the concept of place”.
44:10 – To elevate and rescue souls from the depths takes extreme craftsmanship.
***45:30 – Parshas VaYishlach. Medrash Rabbah on VaYishlach – the libations of Yaakov Avinu in Beis El.
48:00 – Beis HaMikdash HaShlishi – the Third Beis Hamikdash – will be indestructible and never be destroyed (Tanna Debai Eliyahu 31). It will be established permanently in the merit of Yaakov Avinu– because he is אמת.
50:30 – Q&R about the connection between Dovid HaMelech’s ability to reach the depths to the point that the waters of creation started rising. Achitophel’s mistake was despair.
53:00 – Closing blessings.
