0376 - The Rebbe Changed the Lashon in Lekutei Sichos

00:00 Likutei Sichos, Chelek Beis, page six, towards the end of the page, the Rebbe says there that lo matzinu baTorah lifi derech hapeshat, we don't find in the Torah according to the derech hapeshat, which is the derech of Rasha, she Adam HaRishon hikriv korban, that Adam HaRishon brought a korban. And in the Ha'arah there it says, Arah thirty-four, ma shenken al derech ha'drush, ha'drash ve'ha'remes. But according to derech of drash and remez, we do find that Adam HaRishon brought a korban. And the Rebbe quotes a few Gemara mikemes. Re'ei, look into the Gemara Shabbos, daf chaf ches vadbei, Gemara Zevachim daf ches vadaleph, Gemara Chulin daf samech vadaleph, in Bereishis Rabbah, Parasha lammed daled tes, and other places. And which is that the Gemara in these places brings that sher shehikriv Adam HaRishon keren achas hos lebe mitzchei, that the axe that Adam HaRishon brought as a korban had one horn on its forehead, and it quotes the pasuk, vesita v'lashem misher por makrim mafris. So we see that the Gemara dash from the pasuk that Adam HaRishon did bring a korban. But the Rebbe says here, that's al derech ha'drash ve'ha'remes, but in peshut shel mikra we don't find that. So I wanna note that originally when this was written, the lashon was ma shenken al derech ha'halacha. In other words, the one that referred to what the Gemara says, it used the lashon ma shenken al derech ha'halacha. That al derech ha'halacha we do find that Adam HaRishon brought a korban. And the Rebbe

01:23 changed it from the words al derech ha'halacha to the words al derech ha'drash ve'ha'remes. In other words, even though it's written in the Gemara, but it doesn't mean that's a derech ha, uh, halacha in Gemara. In Gemara guf it's derech ha'drash ve'ha'remes. But it's interesting that Rebbe made a point of changing from the words al derech ha'halacha in this inyan, but he changed it to the words al derech ha'drash ve'ha'remes.
