0177 - Precision in Lekutei Sichos Part 2

00:00 To show how the Rebbe in Likutei Sichos was medayeg that everything should be written properly, should be written in the right way, is from a Haga'ah in Chelek Yeedal of Parashat Kisiso, Sichah Beis. There the Rebbe writes that something that's bothering Rashi. Rashi is bothered why the Torah has to write a certain thing when it's understood from before. We know it from before, the Torah wouldn't have to repeat it. So the Rebbe wrote a Haga'ah, even though we find that the Torah sometimes repeats something that we know already, still if we're able to make it chiluk between the two pesukim and tell us what the pasuk adds, we do that. And the Rebbe writes, Rashi explains in Mishpotim Chof Gimel Yud Tes and in Parashat Seinah and in Parashat Kisiso, because this is a sicha of Parashat Kisiso, Lamed Dalet Chof Vav. Rashi says that the pasuk like Sevashel B'chalei Vim is written three times in the Torah and it comes each one for a different din, one is to tell you can't eat it, one is that you can't have a no, one you can't cook it, etc., etc. Then the Rebbe added, even though in some places Rashi explains why does the Torah repeat something, it's because to tell you that you're for ever on it, you're chayav and two avedahs, two lavin. Nevertheless, if we're able to explain the reason why the Torah repeats as we explain it. Now when the Rebbe wrote that even though Rashi writes in different places that

01:32 the reason the Torah repeats something is to be ever on two lavin, the Rebbe didn't write a maramokim where Rashi says it. He just made two sides of the parentheses, left space in middle, meaning that the people who were involved in writing the sichas, they should fill in the maramokim. And the reason is very simple. The Rebbe would not write a maramokim unless he looked it up. So with poshet it would take time the Rebbe to get up and look at the maramokim as he left it at the people to fill in. This is a very simple thing that the maramokim is you just look it up. So the people who filled it in, filled in and this, where does Rashi say, which means in Parashat Tzav Vav Vav. Then it said, and look at Rashi in Parashat Kisiso Lamed Dalet Chof Gimel and it went on to Shemini Yud Dalet and Emer. When the Rebbe was magiya this Haga'ah, when the second Haga'ah, because the Rebbe would magiya everything twice. So when he was magiya and he looked through this Haga'ah, he saw what was filled in, Tzav Vav Vav, and then it said, So the Rebbe crossed out the word Kisiso, changed it to the word, and he wrote it in big words, that this is a Rashi in our Parashah, and he added to this Mavhil, which means it's outrageous. That means that since this is a sicha to Parashat Kisiso, the Seder is whenever you quote a maramokim to something in

02:58 this Parashah that the sicha is on, you always wrote Parashat Seinah. In this Haga'ah itself, it says before, So why did you write Rashi Kisiso? This is a sicha on Parashat Kisiso. So it should say Parashat Seinah. And the Rebbe was so upset, he wrote Mavhil in big words, and he underlined the word Mavhil. In other words, the Rebbe had to be so meduyek that if it's always written a Parashat Seinah, if it's this Parashah, then how could you change it and here write differently? Then it doesn't fit. So therefore, the Rebbe changed it and wrote Mavhil. So here we see how much the Rebbe wanted that everything should be exactly meduyek to the proper way.
