To realize the Rebbe's Chiddush

00:00 The Rebbe—you know what the novel insight is? [unclear]. Not just the Rebbe—what do I have? The plain meaning of the Midrash. Up to this point, what does “the essence of the Shechinah” mean? Not [unclear]. The Rebbe’s novel insight is that the Shechinah is the essence. The Rebbe is looking for [unclear] Shechinah. That isn’t the simple meaning people learn; what the Rebbe says is a novel insight. Simply put, an ordinary person asks: What is Shabbos Chazon? A little child, just a child in cheder, asks: What is Shabbos Chazon? Shabbos Chazon, Shabbos Chazon—[unclear]. What’s the order of things? The haftorah of “Chazon Yeshayahu.” Shabbos Chazon is the Shabbos when we read “Chazon Yeshayahu” as the haftorah. [unclear] the Rebbe. This child is learning: What is Shabbos Chazon? What does Shabbos Chazon mean? [unclear]. From the outset, the Rebbe. [unclear]. The Rebbe’s interpretation [unclear]. It isn’t the same decree, and that isn’t the ultimate purpose either. [unclear]. When you learn from a book, with [unclear], what are [unclear] sections based on verses from Tanach and from Chumash, following the parshiyos. Well, with small children you learn simply, simply. Tanach, Chumash, parshiyos, [unclear], parshiyos—a deeper, richer interpretation, [unclear] the point. After all, that’s a novel insight. [unclear]. But for the Rebbe, the point that matters is “the primary place from the outset.” What is the simple meaning—what does “the primary place from the outset” mean? As it is ordinarily understood, these are two things: a primary place [unclear].

02:11 The place where a person lives—that is the main place. He may go somewhere as a guest, [unclear], go to a store—that is part of [unclear], but it isn’t his own, innermost dwelling place. It’s necessary, it’s necessary [unclear] for certain things. It isn’t where he lives. But the Rebbe interprets it differently. “The essence of the Shechinah” means [unclear] Shechinah. That [unclear] the essence of the Shechinah, and not [unclear] Shechinah. The essence of the Shechinah means [unclear] Shechinah. That’s the meaning. Yes, but we learn from [unclear] the lower realms [unclear].
