Chamisha Asar Bshvat 5739

00:00 The hemsech to Chamishaser B'Shvat will share what took place Chamishaser B'Shvat, 5779, 40 years ago, a mechser that was seen that was very, very unusual. It was very obvious that the Rebbe in the Sichas, speaking on behalf of Klal Yisrael, was speaking to the Eibishter, trying to find a positive end for Yidden that were found in a certain country, as we'll mention further. The Rebbe explains the reason of the fabregen, that since there was an increase in darkness in the world, so therefore there is a need to increase in light. And there's a necessity to add more inyonim that weren't taking place earlier in order to increase in light. The Rebbe was referring to a fabregen, a Chamishaser B'Shvat. In the course of the Sichas, the Rebbe clarifies his kavanosei al desha, that the chidush is because by many Yidden, there is a lack of joy. The loshon of the Rebbe in Yiddish, They're tired from toiling in the galus and they are tired from waiting on Mashiach. And the Rebbe continues, this is a scream that goes up all the way to the heart of heaven, Ad Mosai. And the Rebbe continues and justifies it and says this is a justified argument, Ad Mosai. Even the time of Yeshaya, already they were asking when will it end? And in addition to that, the generations before us, Alachas Kama V'Kama, surely after the Jewish nation has gone through all these bad experiences over these many years, then it really brings out a scream that goes

02:16 up to the heart of heaven, Ad Mosai. And the Rebbe continues explaining what the inyan of galus is. It's a muscle of a father that hides from his son with the intention that the son should look for him. As long as the son is searching for him, this in itself is a preparation, a beginning of redemption. But once the son gives up the search, that is when the trouble starts. That is when the Eibishter in the nimshal, the father hides away and there is a quadruple darkness. And here the Rebbe's voice choked from tears for a short moment. And the Rebbe continued. When we approach another Yid and we argue with him, why doesn't he think about the Eibishter? He says, why do you have an argument against me? Your argument should be to the Eibishter. The Koamer Ad Mosai, the Rebbe says, Ad Mosai. And the Rebbe says when the father has to hide from the son in order that the son should search after him and should be inspired with a yearning as he finds himself in a dry desert, Eretz Siyav Oif. But when he places him on top of this in a double and quadruple darkness and together with that, he is demanding from him that he should continue to search. And the Rebbe continues and says, Zuntik iz sucht, Montik iz sucht. He searched Sunday, he searched Monday. That's when the Rebbe already is not able to hold himself back from crying. The Rebbe bent down his head, placed his

04:01 hands on his eyes with a deep sigh. And after a few moments, the Rebbe lifted up his head and continued the Sichah. This paragraph in the Fabregen just mentioned, the Rebbe was on and off choking from tears. Very, very unusual. And the Rebbe continues in the Sichah that when we're looking for explanations for this inyan, we look in Sifrei Musa and Sifrei Chiddis. And we find in the Gemara, Ipsag Din, that all the deadlines for galus are over. And it is only dependent on teshuva. And the Rebbe continues that we cannot find a metzias of one Yid that he did not have a hirur teshuva, a thought of teshuva. Alachas Kama V'Kama, surely what our eyes saw and not strangers inyanim that happened in our generation, Hoyu Lisiya. So what argument could there be against a human being who is limited because he does not think about redemption and we want him to stand in this standard a whole day? It's impossible. And the Eibishter only requests according to their energy. And he himself did not give additional keichas, which this in itself is also a very interesting, exceptional, unusual expression that the Rebbe used. That he himself did not give more keichas.
