24th of Teves: the Rebbe's Directives

00:00 As we find ourselves in the Yemei Lula of the Alter Rebbe, we'll discuss from various sichas the heroist directives that the Rebbe gave us for this day. In Tovshin Lamed Ches, early 1978, the Rebbe then mentioned heroist lamaisa in a practical sense that should be done on the day of Chavdalah Tevis. It was later edited by the Rebbe and it is in the Kotisichas Heilig Chav Aleph. And they are namely to study at least one pedik, a chapter of Mishnayis that starts with a letter of the Alter Rebbe's name. Minimum a pedik. To study a sif in the Alter Rebbe's Shulchan Maruch. To learn a pedik Tanya, chapter of Tanya. And also to learn from the Maimorim of the Alter Rebbe in Parsha Voera, which is usually the kvios of Chavdalah Tevis in the week of Parsha Voera. And they are included in Teydah Eir in Parsha Voera. And also to give tzdakah in relationship to Chavdalah Tevis. The Rebbe urged in general, Ha Maisa Wa Iker, what we derive from this day is Limud Ha Teva Bepe'el, to learn the Alter Rebbe's Teydah. And especially when there is a participation of 10 people or more, then it is Berev Am Hadras Melech. That it's in a very special splendor when there are 10 or more people learning Teydah together, as the Mishnah speaks about the uniqueness of 10 people learning Teydah. Asarah Sheyeshim Be'eskim Be'teyda. On another occasion, Chavdalah Tevis Tovshin Memtes, early 1989, the Rebbe said, since Chavdalah Tevis is the Yemis Tal

02:24 Kusia of the Alter Rebbe, and as the Alter Rebbe writes, that on the day of the Stalkos of a Tzadik, all his accomplishments and all his Teydah Mitzvahs elevates, and then it is revealed back down here, it accomplishes Yeshuas Be'kedavot. It accomplishes salvation in this physical world. So therefore, the Rebbe says this should inspire all who are following his ways and his teachings. That the Meshech of this day, there should be an increase in all Inyonim of Kedusha, and especially Inyonim that are connected with his Maisav and his Teydah and his Aveda. And to continue also in the following days, that it should later continue the Pu'ul and Imshechas for the whole year. Beginning from an increase in studying his Teydah, Sefer Tanya Kadisha and Teydah Eir and Lukut Teydah, which are the discourses on the Parsheis, and also the Drushim that our generation merited that they were published more recently. The Rebbe is referring to the Maimorim of the Alter Rebbe, 27 volumes that were published in the Tovshin Mems in 1980s. And also in his Sifrei Nigla, Shulchan Oroch Vehulu. And Bechalal, to increase in the Limud HaTeydah with the two lights signifying the Alter Rebbe's name, Schne'er, the light of Nigla de Teydah and the light of Nimis HaTeydah. And from the name Schne'er, which are the two lights, as mentioned earlier, it comes down also in a practical sense that from the study it is Talmud Gadol Shemevi L'dei Maisa. It comes down into the framework of time and space, which

04:19 this is also symbolized in the second name of the Alter Rebbe, Zalman, which has the Acius Lizman. It has the letters Lizman, which means it comes down within the framework of time and space till we merit to see it in a physically, the Gili Alikus, the Nigla Kvei Hashem B'roach Habasar Yachdav, as we will see it in the upcoming redemption. And that is when we're also going to be seeing our masters, Keilah, the Alter Rebbe, and all the Rabbeim till the previous Rebbe, Vakitsu Vedanan Ushechni Yafar, and all of them B'secham.
