Rough Summary of Shir
Th M 23 ’19 I missed first 25 minutes of the shir.
Yitzhak smelled the “begadim” of Yaakov ie the bogdim – traitor aspect
Koach of tschuva – return to your own self
L’mahla min hadaas
Medrash re: a traitor to the Romans Gave a tour of Beis Hamikdash
I made my G-d angry once and you want me to make him angry again?
Yehokum ?
Ponevezer Rav: R Kahaneman: went into the Bais HaMikdash
Min b’mino chozer …
Franz Rosenzweig, German intellectual & scholar early 1900’s
Cousin said try one Jewish experience before going away fr Yiddishkeit, Belzer shtibel by kol nidrei – was very moved
Chidushi HaRim, Toldos: Rivka knew Yaakov was good
Externally looked like Esav, Rivka needed Yaakov to be dressed up like Esav
Elaborate vs nucleus
“M’tal hashemayim” – chumash
“Rav Dagim” – Mishnah, Gemora ?
Yesod of Baal Shem Tov –a yid is a yid no matter how far
7:25
Dovid HaMelech: diff in
Tanach – mighty, warrior vs Tehillim – pious, emotional, almost meek
Shmuel 1:21 (Tehillim?) “Lo gava libi v’diimasi” “I was humble in my heart …”
Makif d’makif: hi’est that comes into the lowest of malchus
Food – eat and it’s gone – penimius – assimilated – becomes me
Clothes – wear all day – needs to fit – makif that’s tailored to one’s body
House –have all the time yet furthest away fr body – always in their home –
makif haartik – removed fr body – beyond daas
deeper “I” but hard to access
Malchus – lowest of 10 sefiros yet fr hi’est place
Power together w/powerlessness in the deepest fashion
Melech – keeps head down during daveni ng
What gives him power? Nothing! If he sees self as conduit that’s good.
Compared to moon, reflects the sun, no gaiva, selfless
Purchase a slave – master
Horyos 10: R Gamliel appointed two sages leadership vs. slavery
What’s the omek?!
Mystery of Rebbes – didn’t want leadership
Story - P 422 R Zevin
President/CEO/General etc – big change fr 1 day to next after inauguration – focuses/sharpens/all his aspects become more acute – gains a tremendous stature
Malchus – revealed in makif ‘makif – essence is brought out – rooted in kesser
(Garbage man could even be gaivadik
Stories of Rebbes running fr kavod)
Pig wallows in the mud & dung
“My should should be like sand to everyone” – fr davening
Ie unaffected by others, no ego EGO – “easing G-d out”
Lag B’Omer: Zohar Ki Sissa: 3x/year go see face of master ie HaShem
Who’s the face of HaShem? Rashbi! He wrote about himself! – self was conduit of infinity so he could write about himself – a channel for holiness
Worship – Jews don’t worship people
Kiduishis Levi Shoftim: mutar to bow t a tzaddik
Yerucham Becurim (sic): HaShem in holy chamber Who was it? R Yitzhak ben R Elazar - he has 100% bitul
Lub Rebbe: story of man wagging his finger at the Rebbe

A Rebbe
By no stretch of the imagination could Rabbi Enzil of Staria be termed a sympathizer of Chassidism. One he tossed the following gibe in the direction of Reb Yehuda Zvi of Rozla. “It seems to me that to be a Chassidic rebbe is just a desire like all other desires …”
The chasidic rebbe was quick with his retort: “You are right – except that one cannot fulfill this desire before one has learned to master all one’s other desires.”
