11:05 Speaker 1 Now. Hashem’s right hand is exalted; Hashem’s right hand performs deeds of valor. Hashem’s right hand is exalted; Hashem’s right hand performs deeds of valor.

27:32 Speaker 2 It says in the Zohar Chadash, concerning the righteous of the generation 00:58

28:15 Speaker 3 [unclear]. Rashi also wrote this on this week’s parsha, Parshas Vayeira, page 23a. And so it is also [unclear] inside or outside the body, through speech or the ability to speak. Even [unclear] speak of only [unclear] of the soul. [unclear] wants, as required according to [unclear], chapter one, concerning the spirit with which one speaks. Thirteen meanings of his words, according to [unclear], for [unclear] the spiritual aspect of speech. [unclear] the refinement of a vessel through reciting holy names. Certainly [unclear] understand the language with which one begins to speak. [unclear] at the end, and [unclear] things. One of the things is the soul of [unclear]: the ability to speak much, much more. [unclear] the verse revealed [unclear]. If so, what does this introduction mean—that we must send [unclear] our children, and [unclear] the house of King David? This is one of the passages that needs explaining. He told him, from [unclear], that one must know the proper ruling. [unclear] speaks [unclear] each and every day, carrying out what is needed to kindle the soul [unclear]. The meaning of his name, which comes at this moment to advance the great Geulah—the redemption of Jerusalem. For it continues and is delayed; a connection with [unclear] the House and the Temple Mount is taking place. The Shechinah wishes to endure through love, and of this the verse says [unclear]. Only someone who steels himself to read aloud will magnify the honor of Hashem [unclear]. Many of them [unclear] the Beis Hamikdash in a strong voice.

30:12 Speaker 3 [unclear] returns [unclear] and sanctifies with a powerful voice. What a miracle that shone forth through [unclear]. All my deeds, and the Arizal’s explanation that that day would not come [unclear]. A holy one rises and sanctifies all those around me [unclear], and travels north. [unclear] the Arizal’s explanation [unclear]. The power of the King of Kings. And it is upon his whole heart. [unclear] Hashem according to the teachings of the Arizal. And this light, which enters his heart from above, is an answer to those who wait. All those who wait [unclear] the Arizal—this is his light. It appears [unclear], and every person [unclear] growth upon growth. Not this light, but a luminary [unclear] the face of the sun, shining [unclear] within [unclear] many refinements that rise [unclear]. There, the explanations spread into the light of the impression. In every generation [unclear] the sun. The sun shines [unclear], and [unclear] everything.

03:54 Speaker 3 But the Rebbe, the Rebbe, the Rebbe goes [unclear] from his—

03:59 Speaker 1 They didn’t eat in the same room as the Rebbe.

04:01 Speaker 3 [unclear] the Rebbe sends [unclear] to him.

04:32 Speaker 1 Well.

04:33 Speaker 2 After he got [unclear].

04:36 Speaker 1 He opened the door for the Rebbe. That’s what I said. She came asking, “What are you doing here?” I said, “I want to see how the Rebbe makes, uh... the seudah.”

04:45 Speaker 2 He opened the door to [unclear] him to Sanhedrin.

04:48 Speaker 1 Well, nobody’s there. Who’s there when the Rebbe starts the seudah? Everybody’s home. Only we crazy people who didn’t eat a meal went to yeshiva, and they gave us the eggs. So we took two eggs, and we did the whole thing with friends. And then the mishloach manos was made with two eggs.

05:09 Speaker 2 Then they went to them.

05:12 Speaker 1 Then they went to them. They came up before he came.

05:14 Speaker 2 Then they came to them.
