Redemption Songs Series Shir HaMa’alot - Tehillim; Psalm 122 - Part One ~ ! In poetic, prophetic prose Dovid HaMelech open his heart to enable us to discover the heart of the Jewish World! This Psalm powerfully conveys the uniqueness of our beloved Yerushalayim. Rather than swallowing individuals with her overwhelming presence, she enables each to best experience a personal encounter with G-d. Her Material Metropolis is aligned with Her Heavenly Counterpart. The essence of this extraordinary city is its hosting the Beit HaMikdash (Holy Temple), and consequently The Shechina (manifest presence of G-d) pulsates in every street and stone. As such, even the thought of entering Her Gates can fill every Jewish Heart with Joy! Rabbi Mendel Kaplan

In highlighting these dimensions, we are led to a deeper understanding of Jewish Jerusalem, as the united Capital of Israel containing Judicial and Royal Authorities of the Jewish People. The incredible reality of Mortal Monarchs and Judges whose Potency as but a reflection of a Higher Power, is most effectively expressed in Prayers for Her Peace! Rabbi Mendel Kaplan

Maamar Ve'atah Tetzaveh, Part 1 Chassidic Discourse on Nurturing Faith By Yehoshua B. Gordon V’atah Tetzaveh is the last maamar the Rebbe edited and personally distributed to chassidim. The discourse explains how the Jewish leader assists the Jew in strengthening, nurturing and internalizing the soul’s essential faith. Will Power – The last Ma’amar (Chassidic discourse) that the Rebbe edited and personally distributed is known as “V’ata T’tzezave.” Many consider it as his spiritual “last will and testament.” Each year, Chassidim conscientiously study this profound mystical scholarly text in observance of the Hilula.

It is an indisputable historic fact that the Rebbe’s rise came on the Wings of a Ma’amer – the delivery of an original formal Chassidic Discourse. It was on the night of Yud (the 10th day of the Hebrew month of) Shevat 5711 (1951), on occasion of the first Yahrzeit-Hilulah of the Previous Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson that the Rebbe formally accepted the sacred mantle of inspired leadership. For many months prior, the Rebbe had already reluctantly, yet increasingly assumed the responsibilities of the revered saintly position. Yet, he never formally acquiesced or acknowledged it. Anyone learned can deliver a scholarly address with original thoughts or insights, and the Rebbe had already shared many such ingenious and inspirational talks. Yet only a Rebbe delivers an original Ma'amer. Up until this point, despite the pleading of Chassidim, the Rebbe had consistently refused to do so. On that dramatic and historic night. Things changed. Forever. With profoundly holy fervour and soul-searing emotion the Rebbe tearfully delivered his first Ma'amer: Basi L'Gani 5711 an original formal Chassidic rumination based on the Last Ma’amer of his predecessor. Each year, on this anniversary he would deliver a new and unique rumination - based on a segment of the original Yom HaHilulah Ma’amer, Basi L’Gani. The original Ma'amer was 20 chapters long. Each year the Ma'amer would expound upon and elucidate the Torah ideas that were found in the corresponding chapter. This year we study the 12th chapter, and this presentation focuses on the Ma'amer the Rebbe delivered on Yud Shevat 5742 (1982). Rabbi Mendel Kaplan

’ ’ Part One of this special series on Ma’amer Basi L’Gani 5743 (1983), entitled "BENEATH THE DARKNESS" is called “ARMED FOR VICTORY.” The prefix (covering chapters one and two) of the Ma’amer succinctly and uniquely recapitulates the thesis of the first 12 chapters of the original Ma’amer Basi L’Gani (5710). For more about this see below.* This opening Episode sets the stage for the exciting ground-breaking mystical journey that especially focuses on the theme of chapter 13 by traveling a familiar road in revisiting the themes of the earlier chapters. Yet, much of the scenery is redrawn and previous parameters are significantly expanded and re-envisioned with an illuminating new perspective! * The Ma’amarim of Basi L’Gani, are a collection of more than 40 uniquely themed Chassidic Discourses that were delivered by The Rebbe on, or in proximity to Yud Shvat, the Yartzeit-Hilulah of his predecessor Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneerson, between the years of 5711 and 5748 (1951 – 1988). All these ruminations were directly based on Ma’amer Basi L’Gani, 5710, which was released by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok on the eve of his terrestrial passing. This [original] Ma’amer is widely regarded as the Previous Rebbe’s Last Will and Testament, and our Rebbe used its themes as guiding lights for the unique mission of our Seventh Generation [of Chabad-Lubavitch] Chassidim. Kindred in containing many common concepts or ideas, each discourse incorporates a remarkably wide range of mystical Torah teachings and always radiates with multiple novel, fresh creative insights. The original rumination contains Twenty Chapters, and for nearly four decades, annually (in orderly successive fashion) the Rebbe would elaborate on themes found in a specific chapter, by delivering one or more Ma’amarim (formal dissertations of original Chassidic Teachings) almost always opening with the Midrashic words “Basi L’Gani.” This year, 5783, we are – once again – focused on chapter thirteen. As such, the discourses of 5723 (1963) and 5743 (1983) are studied by the global Chasidic community during the Yud Shvat season.

Part two (covering chapters three and four) of the Ma’amer begin the focus on chapter 13 of the original Ma’amer Basi L’Gani (5710). For more details on this, see below.* In this Episode we will delve into the idea that darkness in our our world is by design, and can be viewed as a reflection of our own inner doubts and individual challenges. Yet, while the theological argument must perhaps be made, the copious documentation of the details of the divinely engineered concealment seem excessive and overwhelming. Moreover, could they not lead to a twisted sanctioning of evil?

The third class of the series (covering chapters five and six) on the Ma’amer continues to broadly address the primary theme in chapter 13 of the original Ma’amer Basi L’Gani (5710). For more details on this, see below.* In this Episode we are introduced to a sacred Engagement Theory that provides a fresh perspective on Torah study’s impact. Here we will clarify how the conceptual engagement with evil-in-theory actuates a virtual revolution of our world’s natural order and literally neutralizes the forces of darkness to release a higher form of light! The final terms of this remarkable mystical equation provide a deeply insightful solution to the baffling theological challenge made in the previous Episode.
