0226 - Learn Chapters 15 16 17 of Reishis Chochmah

00:00 The Seder used to be before a chasameh, the parents of the chosam would go into yechidas, their yechidas. The parents of the kala would go into yechidas, and the chosam and kala together would go into yechidas. And the Rebbe would give a brocha, et cetera, et cetera. And many times what would happen that when the chosam and the kala went in, after the, the, the Rebbe speaks- finished speaking to both of them, the kala would walk out, and the chosam would remain, and the Rebbe would give the chosam certain herois specifically for the chosam. So when I went to the yechidas before my chasameh, amongst the other things, the Rebbe told me that you should learn, before the chasameh, you should learn in Reishis Chochmah, Shaar HaKedushah, Perek Tes Vav, Perek Taz Ayin, and Perek Yud Ayin. And you should learn this twice, and both times should be before the chasameh, before the chuppah actually used the lotion. Because when the Rebbe would tell this to other people, some people would take advantage that during Sheva Berachos, when you have more time, they would finish learning these inyonim. But me, the Rebbe said clearly that both times should be done far the chuppah. By the time you get to the chuppah, you should have learned already both times. And the interesting thing is that the Rebbe said to learn Perek Tes Vav also. Perek Taz Ayin and Perek Yud Ayin of Shaar HaKedushah in Reishis Chochmah deals with inyonim that have a shaychas to getting

01:20 married. So the Rebbe would tell people to learn Perek Taz Ayin and Yud Ayin. Perek Tes Vav in Shaar HaKedushah has nothing to do with getting married. That has to do with inyan of achilah, of eating, that you have to eat l'shem Shamayim and all the inyonim that have to do with eating. So usually the Rebbe would tell a chosam, if he did tell him to do this, he would tell him to learn Perek Taz Ayin and Perek Yud Ayin before the chasameh. Didn't, he didn't always stress that it has to be finished before the chasameh, but he would tell him to learn this. But by me, first of all, the Rebbe stressed that it should be twice, I should learn it twice, and it should be both before the chasameh. And also the Rebbe added Perek Tes Vav. So he told me to learn Perek Tes Vav, Taz Ayin, and Yud Ayin of Shaar HaKedushah in Reishis Chochmah twice, and both of them should be finished before the chuppah.
