Sicha 270: Matos Maasei Thu. Jul. 9, 2026 | Tammuz 24, 5786 Chelek chof ches page 210 This week’s Sicha learning is in honor of:The Sirota family, celebrating the birth of Esther Sirota on 24 Tammuz, with wishes of L’Torah, L’Chuppah, U’Maasim Tovim and many continued simchos.An anonymous sponsor in honor of her birthday.Chana Miriam Huebner, in honor of her son Nosson’s birthday on 24 Tammuz.Shaina Zirkind, l’ilui nishmas Harav HaChassid R. Simcha Yerachmiel ben R. Mordechai Shachneh Zirkind, on his 11th yahrtzeit, 24 Tammuz.The upcoming yahrtzeit of Rabbi Vichnin, a beloved and inspiring mechanech, on 26 Tammuz. The Rebbe teaches that the territory east of the Jordan can represent either a compromise with exile or the beginning of redemption. Gad and Reuven chose it for material reasons, but Menashe received it from Moshe as part of Hashem’s plan to extend the holiness of Eretz Yisrael and prepare for the ultimate expansion of its borders in the era of Moshiach. The key is attitude: a Jew may be sent beyond familiar boundaries on a holy mission, yet must never lose the deep love for Eretz Yisrael or become settled in golus. Like Menashe, we are called to remember our true home, reject the mentality of exile, and use every place we find ourselves to advance Moshe’s vision and bring the Geulah closer.

The Aibershter Loves You! Sometimes we have an issue. We feel slighted, but we’re able to express our frustration and request an explanation. Then there are times that we’re generally dissatisfied. We can’t point to specifics, so we just grumble under our breaths. “She hates me, he doesn’t care about me, etc… These are baseless assumptions, created by our own issues, that we project onto others. Before his passing, Moshe emphatically stresses to the yidden, The Aibershter Loves You! Those mutterings in your tents that Hashem hates you were completely false. Hashem never wavers in His love for you, knowing this with certainty will make you love Him and each other. (Chelek Lamed Daled, page 17)

This week's learning is sponsored by a listener in honor of the Hayom Yom of 9 Tammuz : "All Jewish parents who need to have a special salvation and help for their children, the surest way is to support Torah learners." May we all experience true yiddishe nachas! And this week's learning is in honor of the holy Head Shliach of Florida, Rabbi Avremel Korf, who passed away Monday Night on Yud Beis Tammuz. A shliach who turned swamp land into a vibrant Jewish State. As I heard in a story he said "I am the Rebbes representative in Florida. And as the Rebbe's shliach, I must welcome and accept every Jew with sever panim yafos". This feels apropros to this weeks sicha. Chelek Chof Ches pg 149. Perspective on the players in my life is the key to gratitude. - put my energy into "what is Hashem telling me here" - this person has no power - this all happened for me, to put me on a mission, to bring to me to do something bigger - "a yid never makes me uncomfortable!" - be rid of the 'sin' not the person who did it - if shalosh klipos tamayos: if enemy is no longer needed, he'll disappear - i work for Hashem - what does Hashem want from me in this experience?

"Sicha #174: *Parshas Matos-Maasei,* Chelek Chof Gimmul page 214. My body's experience and ability is the deepest expression of Hashem’s power. Menachem Av - We bring our father comfort. This week's learning sponsored by 3 individuals! *Chaya Musha bas Devorah Leah* & *Henna Shomer* both in honor of their Yom Huledes - May this learning be a zchus for a shnas bracha, ad bli dai!!* Thank you for choosing these sichos as your birthday gift! Learning sponsored also by *Susan Shapiro* in honor of the yahrtzeit of her mother (my Safta!) *Basya bas Nessa*. May her neshama have an aliyah and endless nachas! Want to get in on sponsoring? PM me! *Sicha Summary Notes* Ever had a moment where you were really *stuck* in your own challenge? In this month of Menachem Av, we comfort Hashem for the pain He is in. There are 2 dimensions of Hashem’s pain of being in golus 1. *Shchina is with the yidden in Golus.* When we experience our Geulah it is Hashem’s Geulah. Our neshamos are always Godly, no choice there, but our bodies - that dont reflect godliness, those Hashem chose! When we are physically (body) in golus, so is Hashem. 2. Like a king who said to his servants, if you are looking for me, *I am going to be next to my son.* What is deeper about this that is being added? Differentiation! Jewish Mothers - *we get it!* Where my kid is, that's where Ill be. *2 different situations* The father feels obvious cherishing of the child, bringing nachas! Warm fuzzy feeling, my delicious child, i'm with them! - neshama part of the yid, *nachas producer* , neshama is never affected by the golus Rebbe adding! This is also true when it comes to the body. The body does NOT show Hashem. It looks just as coarse as other bodies. Mashal - if you are looking for me, I am going to be with my son. Ya this is my kid, i go with him everywhere he is at. *Hashem is with us in our tumah* . *Essential connection* Only in the Jewish Body (vs soul) do you see the connection of Hashems essence. I'm with my kid. Period. Hashem is ALWAYS with us. Menachem Av - Hashem is here as the father to his child. Level 1 nachas connection - *neshama experience* Level 2 essential connection - *body experience* Taking this even deeper... We also suffer loss, How can we comfort Hashem? The greatness of what the child can do > parents Like a blue eyed child born from brown eyed parents, the child reveals a recessive gene his parents have, but did not display. You have incredible power! Show up with all the emunah, all the positivity - WOW! This was always there in Hashem but not expressed until a Yid does this. We have the ability through our physical struggles, we are bringing out a koiach always there in Hashem - that had not yet been brought out. *All of us showing up in Mitzvos, Torah, we are bringing out Hashems “recessive DNA”. there is no such thing as a ME struggle - don't ever feel alone, you are Hashems essence being expressed*. Feel empowered! We can define the golus, tap into incredible koiach, Hashems essence pumping through us. Shift to new approach: Moshiach!"
