00:00 – PARAGRAPH 19. (Lesson 065a). Sleep is beneficial because it refreshes the consciousness. The mitzvah of tefillin allows a person to receive entirely new powers of forbearance and memory that he merited that day.
11:41 – We can’t achieve patience or a renewal of consciousness except through sleep. This centrality of renewal is in the mitzvah of blessing the new month – Rosh Chodesh.*
26:40 – PARAGRAPH 20. The knot of the tefillin correspond to the renewal of the moon and malchus beis Dovid – the sovereignty of the House of King David. From the knot descend the straps, one of which reaches the navel, corresponding to separation from the mother at birth and establishing a new connection to Hashem through the tefillin. This strap also is an aspect of the Sanhedrin, the 70 faces of the Torah, and the 70 years of Dovid HaMelech.
All this corresponds to the first parsha of the tefillin, which contains the mitzvah of פדיון הבן – redeeming the firstborn.
