Moreh Shiur in Tanya

00:00 Speaker 1 The Moreh Shiur is different in a leap year. It’s interesting that the Moreh Shiur has one study schedule for a leap year and another for a regular year—two kinds of Moreh Shiur. Of course, [unclear] how many lessons are studied in a leap year. [unclear] But it turns out that, from week to week, the lessons in a leap year aren’t the same as in a regular year. If we put them side by side and compare them, [unclear]. Seemingly, if there’s a leap year, there’s also a regular year; and if you want to continue, there’s [unclear]. That’s what I thought, but I don’t think that’s how it works.

01:22 Speaker 2 [unclear].

01:23 Speaker 1 What do you say?

01:24 Speaker 2 [unclear].

01:26 Speaker 1 [unclear] When you get to that point, I thought, the Rebbe [unclear]. And I think [unclear]. You want to know the simple reason? Because [unclear] the lessons [unclear]. On Shabbos, the lessons [unclear], and on an ordinary Shabbos [unclear]. [unclear] a longer lesson. [unclear] It’s simple arithmetic. [unclear] Even in a leap year [unclear], for two Shabbosos. [unclear] Even in a leap year [unclear] a Shabbos from that, there was something else, another day, and another longer lesson. [unclear] The lessons in a leap year are different [unclear] from those in a regular year. [unclear] Either a leap year or a regular year. But that’s a fact. [unclear] Chitas, [unclear] that’s how it’s calculated. This is a leap year and that’s a regular year. His calculation is [unclear], his calculation for a leap year, his calculation for a regular year. You end up [unclear] two or three weeks before [unclear]. Those two or three weeks [unclear]. [unclear] day by day [unclear] the order of this lesson. [unclear]

03:49 Speaker 1 First, a rabbi, or [unclear]. The reason that [unclear]. This way, his calculation is [unclear] the Giving of the Torah. [unclear] But in practice, someone else tells the story differently. On the contrary, [unclear] what they study in shul. Later, when they printed the [unclear], a new number appeared with a hyphen. [unclear] letters. [unclear] On the contrary, [unclear] the earlier ones [unclear]. They gave [unclear] the two letter numbers, [unclear] with a hyphen. It’s the same number; here there are two letters side by side: one for a regular year and one for a leap year. [unclear] Afterward, on the contrary, two letters [unclear]. When they printed the book, [unclear], they put it back in its place. [unclear] There’s a hyphen; but that was earlier, before it was written. [unclear] What did they study here?
