inspired...
"Judaism is not about learning and studying Torah, its about Divine inspiration." Yossi, I couldn't be more inspired by that line, and I will take that with deep heart and put it into action. Thank you for once again inspiring me as always. Chava-

Great Article!
The one problem I have with this article, is that it is the Divinity within _all_ of us the binds us together.

Re: Great Article!
Indeed this is true.
While many Jews can be bound by something other than the divinity within us, such as being a single community etc., this cannot be said of the entire Jewish people.
[As the earlier comment reffers to the work of Rabbi J. Sacks... I'll borrow the explanation from him.] He explains it as follows:
Untill the time after the destruction of the Second Temple and the subsequent dispersion of the Jewish People, we had (almost) always been unified either by our geographical proximity, by being part of single sovereign or autonomous political entity or both.
Once neither of those existed, we should have ceased being a nation. (As did the 10 lost tribes.) But we continue to exist as a single people, a single nation, even many centuries later.
The reason we do, the reason we are all bound together, is because our connection is much deeper than the physical elements and circumctances that create all other nations. We are connected on a mystical level.
Percisely because our souls are all parts of the One God and it is only our bodies which are distinct, (Tanya, Chapter 32) are we able to continue to be a "One Nation in the land" even dispersed around the world.
In fact, once this mystical connection is established—by the very fact that we are still one nation after so many years in exile—we realize that this and not the geographical or political relationship is what has always been what binds us together.

See the works of J. Sacks for an eloquent elaboration of the above.

1) L'peleh playing so lightly with R' Hillels Tzidkus???
2) The end story has really nothing to do with Mamar, quite on the contrary, the story illustrates that the climax of Ruchnius similar to Aron Hakodesh is in Mezibuz [so why go to E"Y]. Not at all in the context of the ‘Shuv’ Avodah. Kol Hamoisif Goreah.

Summary of Maamar
BH
Thank you so much for your wonderful explanation of the Maamarim. You bring it down to the level where it is possible for a person to understand them much better.
I would like to make a suggestionthat it would be very helpful if you could include, in your curriculum, a summary, in English, of your explanation so that it can be printed, as well as the Maamar itself.
Thank you once again for providing many hours of uplifting learning in a very accessible manner.

Thank you for Precious Pearls
Baruch HaShem
Maamar itself is of course precious. But anecdotes of Chassidim, especially of Chabad Rebbeim Rabbi Paltiel tells are precious pearls to me.

I jog
Baruch HaShem
I used to jog to lose my weight so that I can fit into clothes. Now I jog to increase my physical strength in order to actualize Divine Will in this world though I rather want to stay home to immerse myself in studing Torah.

Slow connection
Is anybody else experiencing slow connection? For me the video is re-buffering every 5 sec.
