0320 - Kuntres of Maamarei Chodesh Elul 5723

00:00 At the end of Tov Shin Chof Gimel, Shabbos Parshas Ki Savo Chai Elul, the Rebbe spoke about the Torah of the Baal Shem Tov that he said in Gan Eden in the year Tov Reish Nun Beis. We know that the Rebbe Rashab has it over, the Torah that has seven Torahs of the Baal Shem Tov that he heard in a Chisoyen in Gan Eden on Shabbos Parshas Ki Savo Chai Elul, which was the birthday of the Baal Shem Tov in Gan Eden. And he chatted it over by a farbrengen, and the Friedik Rebbe repeated it in a farbrengen of later it was printed in , then later printed in the Kesseh Shem Tov. This was years later it was printed in the Kesseh Shem Tov. And the Rebbe spoke about the Shabbos Parshas Ki Savo Chai Elul. Then in the Shabbos after that, which was Shabbos Parshas Nitzavim Chof He Elul, which was Shabbos Lichas, the Rebbe said a maimar, which the maimar started with the words, "Ki HaMitzvah hazeh." And that maimar was meyused, was based on three maimarim of the Alter Rebbe. One maimar, between Torah and the mitzvahs. Another one, and the third one, After that Shabbos, the Rebbe said to give out a kuntres, and the kuntres is titled Kuntres Ma'amarei Kodesh Elul He Tov Shin Chof Gimel. Now, when you look at the cover, and it has the Rebbe's shar blat. You would look at the cover, you would think that probably these are maimarim that the Rebbe said Tov

01:29 Shin Chof Gimel, which is true. But lo pel they are only the maimarim as they were said by the Baal Shem Tov and by the Alter Rebbe. And this is what it says in the Hagdah, in the Pesach dover to this kuntres, that we are giving out the maimarim that the Rebbe said, Shabbos Kodesh Chai and Shabbos Kodesh Lichas Chof He Elul Tov Shin Chof Gimel. And the maimarim are two Torahs of the Baal Shem Tov and the posek Ki Savo that he said Shabbos Parshas Ki Savo Chai Elul Tov Reish Nun Beis in Gan Eden. Then the second thing is Torahs of the Alter Rebbe, a maimar between Torah and the mitzvahs. Then a maimar then a maimar And in the kuntres you have nothing of the Rebbe as far as the maimarim are concerned. First, in the beginning of the kuntres, you have it says, "Torahs kvite mit Moshe Rabbeinu haBaal Shem Tov," and then you have the first two Torahs of the Baal Shem Tov. Then after that, you have the maimar of the Alter Rebbe, where it starts in Then you have the maimar of the Alter Rebbe, where it starts off and then you have the maimar And also said in the Hagdah, in the Pesach dover it said that the Rebbe added HaOhras of Marom Hakemes to these maimarim. And you take a see in this kuntres on the bottom you have HaOhras, and these are HaOhras from the Rebbe, say, and the Torahs of the Baal Shem Tov,

02:45 say, and the other three maimarim. The interesting part is that after this kuntres came out, they gave out a second version of mainly of the first part. Because the way it's printed in the kuntres is the first page of the kuntres says, "Besiyata Dishmaya." Then in bold letters, "Torahs kvite mit Moshe Rabbeinu haBaal Shem Tov." And then it starts off with the three dots and says, "Torahs haBaal Shem Tov haRashona," and goes on with the Torahs of Baal Shem Tov. When they gave out the Maadure Basra, the second part of it, so it says differently. After it says, "Besiyata Dishmaya," it says like this in bold letters, "Hisvadus Shabbos Kodesh Parshas Ki Savo Chai Elul He Tov Shin Chof Gimel, Brooklyn, New York." The date here is the farbrengen of the Rebbe, Shabbos Kodesh Parshas Ki Savo Chai Elul Tov Shin Chof Gimel, Brooklyn, New York. And then it added in less bold letters, this is more in italics, "Yom huledes shnei haMei HaSagedalim." The birthday of the two Mei HaSagedalim, kvite mit Moshe Rabbeinu haBaal Shem Tov, Mishnas Nachas and Chason, and kvite mit Rabbeinu Hazaken Mishnas Kohas. And there are even HaOhras on this, on the words, "Yom huledes," the Rebbe writes here, "Re'eh Kuntres Chai Elul He Tov Shin Gimel, Amud Vav Yud Gimel, Rishumesh beSof Sefer HaMaamarim He Tov Shin Ches, Amud Reish Tsadik Beis." And on the words that the year of the Baal Shem Tov's birth is Nachas or Chason, there's a star and there's a Ohr on the

04:09 bottom. "Re'eh Sichas Chof Kislev Tov Reish Tsadik Gimel, L'Kuta DeBeElim, Amud Lamed He." So this came out later without a shar blat, just that page, and then repeat again the maimar of the Alter Rebbe in So that came out later. The vais tu is that the Rebbe added it later because here it started off with just with the Torahs of Baal Shem Tov, so it doesn't have anything to do with what the Rebbe said. And the second version says clearly that this is from the hisvadus of Shabbos Kodesh Parshas Ki Savo Chai Elul He Tov Shin Chof Gimel, Brooklyn, New York. And it says that this is the date of yom huledes, and then after the sign of a separation, it says, "Torahs kvite mit Moshe Rabbeinu haBaal Shem Tov," et cetera.
