Sichos HaRan 153 – 154 – Based on 2Likutey Moharan 78 – Nitzavim – Prustock – The Tzaddik Emes Sometimes Appears To Be an Ordinary Person – The Torah Sustains the World – Derech Eretz – The Path to Eretz Yisrael – Treasury of Free Kindness – Ain Shum Yiush Klal – Never Give Up! Speaker: Rabbi Zvi Aryeh Rosenfeld zal. (Lesson rw37b.)
00:00 – Text of 2Likutey Moharan 78 is first studied in order to understand Sichah 153.
***02:00 – Nitzavim. When Rebbe Nachman begins with the word דע – “know” – he is about to bring a concept from Olam HaAtzilus. The Torah is required for life, as in כִּ֣י ה֤וּא חַיֶּ֨יךָ֙ וְאֹ֣רֶךְ יָמֶ֔יךָ – “…for it is your life and the length of your days…” (Devarim 30:20, Nitzavim). Since this is a fact, what sustains people who don’t study Torah? They receive life energy from the Tzaddik Emes.
07:00 – What is meant by “The Path to Eretz Yisrael“? The 26 generations before the Torah was given was sustained by HaShem’s “Treasury of Free Kindness”.
08:45 – In Tehillim 136 there are 26 verses.
17:15 – During the first 26 generations before the Torah was given, the Torah was hidden in the 10 utterances of creation, which are also called דרך ארץ – Derech Eretz – The Path to Eretz Yisrael.
29:00 – The Tzaddik Emes can transfer life energy from the Otzar Chesed Chinam to a person who is spiritually lost.
*34:00 – End of learning the text of 2Likutey Moharan 78. Beginning of textual study for Sichos HaRan 153, which reveals the biographical setting behind 2Likutey Moharan 78.
***30:00 – The main goal in life is to find and connect with the Tzaddik Emes. A person needs to pray for this connection while he is in this world.
32:00 – מפרסמים של שקר – False leaders of Am Yisrael draw people to themselves and thereby mislead people away from the Tzaddik Emes.
***36:40 – Rebbe Nachman told his students, “The only thing that keeps me alive is my trip to Eretz Yisrael.” He then gave the teaching of 2Likutey Moharan 78.
38:00 – “Never fall into despair!”
42:00 – Rebbe Nachman’s usual custom was to wash for bread first and then to sing Azamer BeShevachin afterwards. On this occasion, he sang Azamer BeShevachin first.
*43:00 – Prustock – an ordinary person. The importance of simplicity in serving HaShem.
