Amazing classes
Thank you so much for putting together these amazing classes. I learned in yeshiva for awhile and really struggled with learning chassidus. It all seemed like a bunch of confusing mumbo jumbo whose main goal was to prove that the Lubavitch Rabbeim were much smarter than any other human being could ever be and that the rabbis who were teaching me must be so genius that I could never question anything they said, including concepts which didnt actually seem to exist within the text of Chabad chassidus. You are really bringing it to a level that it is easily grasped and explaining things in such a way which ensures that these concepts can be put to practical application. Keep up the good work.

Becoming Real
Anyone ever read the story of the Velvetine Rabbit to your children . . . or just read it? The Mishkan could have been built a splendid edifice, but without the effort, sincerity, passion, need, of those humans in the stark, empty, existential desert to infuse it with their lives-their truths, their bodies, their yearning to make meaning, to love each other, to make sacrifices for each other, to live lives with intention - the mishkan would remain an empty edifice of no account. What is 'kasher'? We somehow sense, acknowledge and then make the connection: our actions connect- make real- the material world with the abstract world of Form, imperfect with Perfect, created with Creator, human nurture meets Divine Nature. However, this requires acknowledgement of Infinite-Intelligent-Loving-Permeating-Presence acting within the affairs of material creation: its a 2-way street.
Judaism's uniqueness is that it understands the trend of the human mind over generations to misunderstand, misinterpret, to take out of context. A concept not understood in counterpoint- will eventually deteriorate into some sort of idolatry or existential void.

Download mp3
Thank you again for presenting and bringing closer another ma'amar. As always we tried to download the audio in mp3 - but this time without success. Is there anything we can do to remedy this problem?

To M. Gorden
Yes and no. In the story of the two survivors, the husband to be is obviously seeing beyond his intended's physical deformities, and he wraps himself around her, and enters that very reality that stands before him. He elevates her to the level of the beautiful bride-to-be once again. While the prior physical reality is no longer with either of them, he yet knows that the only reality is that which he now holds in his arms and which houses the beauty that he sees within. He knows that the physical, no matter how limited, is the only path to the beauty and strength of her essence. That is what HaShem expressed to Moshe, that He wanted "to dwell among them", physically in them/us no matter how messed up they/we had become. The tedious detail of the instruction for the material Mishkan and the story of the survivors both tell the same story: the abstract can be useful, but the facts on the ground is what counts.
