This in-depth mini-series focuses on the pages in the ninth chapter of Masechet Brachot the teachings of our Sages about Dreams are recorded. Here the Talmud probes the mysteries of Deeper Consciousness, and the compelling or disturbing Nocturnal Visions people may sometimes experience. Our Sixth Episode of this unique mini-series exploring Deeper Consciousness comprises the twentieth segment of chapter nine of Tractate Brachot. We continue side two of Folio Page 55 with a lesson entitled "KING OF DREAMS." We've previously established that Dreams can be meaningful, even at times, echoing prophecy. And that interpreting them is an important part of the process. Yet interpreting Dreams accurately isn't exactly a Perfect Science! Having drawn on a parable of stalks, kernels, and bundles of grains, we looked into Joseph's vision about the movement of the celestial bodies. We will now continue to delve in those dreams to demonstrate the long wait that is sometimes to be expected for the fulfillment of a Prophetic Nocturnal Vision. Seeking clarity on why Good People have Bad Dreams, and Bad People have Good Dreams, we'll highlight the link between Evil Thoughts and Nightmares. Finally, we will set out to decipher a Bible Code on Tents and Plagues and investigate the possibility of others envisioning what you can’t see for yourself! These fascinating Talmudic teachings about the paranormal are guaranteed to surprise and satisfy your craving for spiritual secrets and mystical Torah truths!

This is the Seventh Episode of our unique mini-series exploring Deeper Consciousness. Now on side two of Folio Page 55, it comprises the twenty-first segment of chapter nine of Tractate Brachot. The lesson is entitled "BAD DREAMS." We've previously established Good People won't necessarily have Good Dreams and may in fact often-times end up profoundly distressed by the opposite. While, conversely, Bad People will enjoy Good Dreams, instead of being haunted by Nightmares. Now the veracity of that thesis of will be challenged by a seemingly divergent Talmudic Teaching about Nightmares and Plagues. A surprising resolution will be found in how others may envision what you can’t see yourself!

This Eighth offering of our unique mini-series exploring Deeper Consciousness is a text-rooted study of Tractate Brachot, Folio Page 55b. It is the twenty-first consecutive segment of the Ninth Chapter, AKA Perek HaRoeh. This Episode, entitled "DREAMLESS" will shine a light on where "Evil Lurks" and provide the deeper meaning of having a Dark Slumber! Here is a synopsis of the Talmudic give and take: a Rabbinic exposition was challenged because it seemed to contradict a Scriptural statement, clearly an untenable possibility. To resolve this, the Talmudic Dream Principle was emended. In the corrected version the Good Person themself will indeed not have a Bad Dreams, however, that doesn't preclude a Nightmarish vision about them being seen by another. And here is where it starts to get interesting! While the proposed solution does indeed efficiently solve the original problem, it effectively casts an even longer Evil Shadow over the Righteous! By the time resolution will be introduced in remembrance (or lack thereof!) we will be led into a fascinating new appreciation of the true origin of dreams and what a visionless sleep may tell you about yourself! This truly revealing teaching is radiates with profound insights about human subconsciousness, soul secrets and mystical Torah truths.

Having developed a profound understanding of the opening two verses, we can now move to conclude our study of this unique prayerful psalm. Our long and painful Galut/Exilic Odessey has humbled us to the point of full saturation. For too long we have suffered derision and degradation of the complacent. For too long we’ve been tormented by the scorn and humiliation of the arrogant. Isn’t it high time for Hashem’s children to finally be brought home?

REDEMPTION SONGS ~ SCROLL OF ESTHER is an in-depth study series of the actual biblical verses comprising Megillat Esther that contains the canonical story of Purim. -------------------------------------------------------- Continuing Chapter Nine, Part Ten entitled: THE HATRED provides the reasoning for the rise of Purim's' prominence and posterity. Delineating the deep and demonic roots of hate we will begin to understand why this unique Holiday came to be, and its seemingly oversized place in Torah-true Judaism. It is here, with the singular focus on Haman, the archenemy of the Nation of Israel, and how he plotted Jewish Genocide that we are enabled to fully appreciate how the commemoration evolved into such a radiant time on the Jewish calendar! By scrolling the history of antisemitic hate, the true motive of Haman's intended mass-murder is revealed. Here, the Megillah presents pre-Purim persecution as an ugly manifestation of in-bred, age-old antisemitism -- not a personal score-settling grudge. Hear how the Purim Plot rivaled and even exceeded Pharaonic Final Solution as these devious decrees were designed to incrementally terrorize, demoralize, devastate to death and then ultimately annihilate the entire Jewish population! This tenth Episode of chapter nine comprises the fifty-third consecutive offering of an ongoing, in-depth discovery series on the biblical Scroll of Esther.

When the King was finally did confronted with [his moment of] truth, targets were transposing. The edict -- spoken, scripted and sealed -- unraveled the meticulously woven web of evil and the entire plot turned inside out! He who came to murder was killed instead, and the original Pur-plan-persecution of Jewish genocide royally rebounded, with the story ending in a radically different way. Not by rebellion or defiance -- but rather in full keeping with, and by the Letter of the Law, the Architect of Annihilation is himself Annihilated. Most remarkably, without the scroll laying it out in sequence the entire miracle wouldn't even be noticed! The Eleventh Episode of the Ninth Chapter has been dedicated by Marty and Gail Bergman in loving memory of Gail's late father, Eliyahu ben Avraham Yitzchak. This exceptionally insightful segment comprises the fifty-fourth consecutive offering of an ongoing, in-depth discovery series on the biblical Scroll of Esther.

The Random element of this unique Cause and Effect lead us to another major Jewish Holiday so kindred in nature yet observed in exactly the opposite fashion. Much like every proper biblical study; it's the subtleties in the script that enable us to appreciate the historic and spiritual consequences of this entire saga.

REDEMPTION SONGS ~ SCROLL OF ESTHER is an in-depth study series of the actual biblical verses comprising Megillat Esther that contains the canonical story of Purim. Chapter Nine, Part Thirteen entitled: PERSIAN VERSION continues to clarify the opening thrust of the 26th verse of the chapter: why it's called Purim. This new offering opens with a brief review of the climax of the previous Episode: After the literal explanations for this holiday being named for the [random] mechanism used to plot Genocide left us wanting, we turned to mystical, spiritual teachings of Torah to paint a rich new picture of Purim. In this new segment we will move to highlight hues and sharpen resolution. This will enable us to successfully segue into developing a wider panoramic view. Yet, notwithstanding the newfound clarity, one BIG question still lingers: why "Purim" meaning "Lots" in Persian instead of the Hebrew word "Goralot?!" Once again, we will begin with the technical before moving on into a deeper spiritual perspective. The new view will endow us a profound appreciation of why in heaven a Jewish/Hebrew Holiday purposely received a Foreign Name! This Thirteenth Episode of Chapter Nine comprises the fifty-sixth consecutive offering of an ongoing, in-depth discovery series on the biblical Scroll of Esther.

This in-depth Gemara study of Masechet Megillah focuses on observances connected to the rabbinically ordained festival of Purim. This mini-series will open with its observance when a Leap Year includes two months of Adar. A fascinating analysis of this will eventually lead us into the iconic Mitzvah of Mishloach Manot, the Holiday Gifting of Edibles to One Another! Tractate Megillah, Chapter One, Page 6b. Episode One: "LEAP YEAR" Our Jewish calendar – comprised of Lunar Months, and Seasonal Years – requires scheduling calibration and calendric alignment. Adar is the final month in the cycle, so when a 13th Month is added, it’s a second Adar. As Adar is the month in which we celebrate Purim, part one of this Mishloach Manot mini-series opens with an analysis of how the time engineering creates a Halachik question about the Public Reading of the Scroll of Esther. Because typically the observance of Purim is in the twelfth month, we are forced to ask: will the real Adar to please rise!

This in-depth Gemara study of Masechet Megillah focuses on observances connected to the rabbinically ordained joyous festival of Purim. This mini-series will open with a discussion about its observances when a Leap Year includes two months of Adar. A fascinating analysis of this will eventually lead us into the iconic Mitzvah of Mishloach Manot, the Holiday Gifting of Edibles to One Another! Tractate Megillah, Chapter One, Page 6b. Episode Two: "RIGHT TO READ" As we learnt at length in Part One, our Jewish calendar requires a unique system of calendric calibration to balance the Lunar Months with Seasonal Years. Resolution is found in a Leap Year in which a 13th Month is added. This induces years that are pregnant with an extra month of Adar, which naturally births a litter of related Halachic questions about Public Torah Readings, far beyond solving the Mystery of the Megillah. Part Two of this mini-series on Purim observances probes the matter to deliver pragmatic and viable resolution!

This in-depth Gemara study of Masechet Megillah focuses on observances connected to the rabbinically ordained joyous festival of Purim. This mini-series opens with a discussion about its observances when a Leap Year includes two months of Adar. A fascinating analysis of this will eventually lead us into the iconic Mitzvah of Mishloach Manot, the Holiday Gifting of Edibles to One Another! Tractate Megillah, Chapter One, Page 6b - 7a. Episode Three: "SCRIPTED IN THE STARS" As elaborated on in the previous two Episodes, our unique Jewish system of calendric calibration resolves the discrepancy left by 12 lunar months and the solar seasonal year by intercalating an extra [month of] Adar. This is what we call a Leap Year. Our Torah calendar governs many religious observances and rituals, and the extra month of Adar raises a slew of Halachic questions to be solved from Ritual Readings to Holiday Gift Giving. In our previous segment we were introduced to differing schools of Torah on the subjects at hand. Here, in part three of the mini-series, we seek to the identify the sources and jurisprudence for the variances in these Halachik approaches. As it fascinatingly turns out, a precise analysis of the Script in the Scroll of Esther can be understood in both directions! Our Sages will therefore augment that very verse with independently established Torah truisms to arrive at very different conclusions. All of these discussions are, of course, borne of our Jewish Calendar and are directly linked to the Zodiacal Heavenly orbits!

"Secret of Light" is #1 of MY NAME IS LIGHT – an intro to the miniseries on Ma’amer Basi L’Gani 5744
Nov 7, 2024
1:27:42
SECRET OF LIGHT is the First Episode (of Five) and serves as the introduction to the Ma’amer Basi L’Gani 5744 (1984), entitled "MY NAME IS LIGHT." The opening offering of these textually based class provides the foundation with the study of chapter 14 of the original Ma’amer Basi L’Gani (5710). For more details on this, see below.* In this Episode the primary focus is on the concept of the immanent and infinite Divine Light that births and sustains all existence. This teaching provides a profound new dimension of comprehension to a subject most often viewed with blind faith rather than in the mind's eye. The result is a fresh intellectual appreciation of our common Creator or the gift of relating to G-d as we can 'understand' Him! In weaving together, amplifying and clarifying a range of Classic and Kabalistic Torah sources, the Previous Rebbe richly elucidates the idea of a "Continuously Creative Illuminative Force" sustaining and energizing every iota of the universe. This chapter of the Ma’amer serves to expose the concept of Creation Ex Nihilo. Yet rather than an academic exercise in mystical theology, it drives us towards the emotive contemplation of the Creative Divine Radiance's unchanging nature. Which then leads to personal change we can believe in! We will be introduced to the distinction between the distinct Divine force of Radiating Power and a Radiant Source. The point will be spelled out in the metaphorical terms of light that remains pure and unadulterated in its powerful glow. The seeming appearance of change or differentiation is merely a symptom of an external screening and diffusion. By studying this chapter of the original Basi L'Gani (5710), the foundation will be set for us to proceed on to the study of Basi L'Gani 5744. * 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 and 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, 5784, we are – once again – focused on Chapter Fourteen. As such, the discourses of 5724 (1964) and 5744 (1984) are studied by the global Chasidic community during the Yud Shvat season.

ETERNAL ETHEREAL 1 is the Second Episode of "MY NAME IS LIGHT," a six-part miniseries on the Ma’amer Basi L’Gani 5744 (1984). Part two of the textually based series of classes follows the first segment which focused of the study of chapter 14 of the original Ma’amer Basi L’Gani (5710). For more details on this, see below. * In this Episode we begin the study of the 5744 rumination itself. Covering Chapter One of the Ma’amer which succinctly and uniquely recapitulates primary themes found within the opening chapter of the original Ma’amer Basi L’Gani (5710) adding a great deal of novelty and nuance. The fresh approach of this Ma'amer revolves around the specific methodology of implementing divine calling to effectuate eternal transformation of terrestrial reality. This is contrasted with the concept of bringing about an evanescent or impermanent impact on created existence. In developing and uniquely applying well-established mystical truisms, the Rebbe richly elucidates ideas introduced by the Previous Rebbe in the original Ma’amer. This Episode, covering the first chapter of Basi L'Gani 5744 has been lovingly dedicated by Michelle Kahn; celebrating the life of her beloved Mother Etel bat Harav Avraham Mendel (z’l), whose Yahrzeit is on Yud Shevat. * 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).

ETERNAL ETHEREAL 2 is the Third Episode of "MY NAME IS LIGHT," a six-part miniseries on the Ma’amer Basi L’Gani 5744 (1984). Part three of the textually based series of classes follows the first segment which focused of the study of chapter 14 of the original Ma’amer Basi L’Gani (5710). For more details on this, see below. * In this new Episode we continue to richly develop the first major novelty of the 5744 iteration. Covering Chapter Two of the Ma’amer which follows the unique reframing of the opening theme of the original Ma’amer Basi L’Gani (5710) which was introduced in the second iteration of the expansive Basi L'Gani series (5731 or 1971 onwards). This paradigm shift introduces an incredible new perspective of the pitfalls of sin and how we view human fallibility. Building on previously introduced profundity, in this Ma'amer we the fresh new dimension of Eternity! This will further illuminate an exciting new appreciation of Teshuva inspired personal and environmental transformation. Recasting the already familiar mystical truism introduced by the Previous Rebbe in the original Ma’amer, the Rebbe richly further elucidates the trademark positively disruptive "Holy Folly" represented in the creation of the Organic Desert Sanctuary. This Episode emphasizes the Eternal Ethereal by its lasting nature, this unique Kabbalistic theology leads towards an exciting perspective of global change we can [and should all] believe in! * 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 and 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, 5784, we are – once again – focused on Chapter Fourteen. As such, the discourses of 5724 (1964) and 5744 (1984) are studied by the global Chasidic community during the Yud Shvat season.

SEE THE LIGHT is the Fourth Episode of "MY NAME IS LIGHT," a six-part miniseries on the Ma’amer Basi L’Gani 5744 (1984). Episode four of this textually based series continues the general opening and directly leads us into a penetrating analysis and elucidation of chapter 14 of the original Ma’amer Basi L’Gani (5710). For more details on this, see below. * Having completed the careful study of the 5744 Ma'amer's initial segue which featured an important and novel illumination of the opening theme of the original Ma’amer Basi L’Gani (5710) we now proceed to complete the introductory portion and move into the primary thrust of this year's uniquely themed teaching. In the opening strokes, we review the spiritual lessons of the military-like formation that characterizes the Egyptian Exodus and the illuminated conditions that led to it. Viewing it as instructive and relevant rather than [merely] historic. To be sure, this reframing of our nations birth in dynamic fashion is lifted out of the original Ma'amer, yet here it is expanded and reimagined to elegantly segue into the Ma'amer's main thesis and enabling us to "See the [Divine Creative] Light!" Building on mystical teaching of the Previous Rebbe (in the original Ma’amer's fourteenth chapter) about Light and Power, the Rebbe here widens that gamut of to include a new dimension of Vital Animation as well. The Rebbe draws on a range of esoteric Torah teachings to further clarify and elucidate the Secret of Light we learnt about in the First Episode of this series. This will vastly enhance our previously attained understanding the unchanging Divine light that remains pure and unadulterated in its powerful glow, despite its vivifying animation of the universe! * 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 THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE is the Fifth Episode of "MY NAME IS LIGHT," the six-part miniseries on Ma’amer Basi L’Gani 5744 (1984). In this Fifth Episode of this series, we arrive at the main thesis of this unique rumination, an entirely novel idea that springs out of the theme of chapter 14 of the original Ma’amer Basi L’Gani (5710). For more details on this, see below. * Upon the completion of the Ma'amer's opening segue that elucidated several of the cherished Basi L'Gani themes, added much novelty and illumination, we went on complete the introductory portion and clarify the primary thrust of this year's uniquely theme of Light and Power with a new dimension of Vital Animation. In our immediate past a range of esoteric Torah teachings was introduced to elucidate the Secret of Light we learnt about in the First Episode of this series. This Episode break new ground by focusing on Creation in Name, and the accompanying title concealment it brings in tow. This becomes the platform for a seeming contradiction of terms and challenge to the entire thesis itself! Does Adam’s brilliance in identifying quantum spiritual energy within G-d’s Creation eclipse the Divine Creative Light, and do names represent concealment or exposure of existence? Finally, a rose by any other name thickens the plot, and we contemplate the contrast of illumination vs obfuscation, and are forced to ask: will the real animator please rise? * 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.

THE WAKE OF LIGHT is the sixth and final Episode of "MY NAME IS LIGHT," a text-based miniseries focused on the Ma’amer Basi L’Gani 5744 (1984). In this concluding segment of this series, we study the last three chapters. It is here that we will reconcile the seemingly glaring inconsistency with the main theme of chapter 14 of the original Ma’amer Basi L’Gani (5710). For more details on this, see below. * After dynamically highlighting several Basi L'Gani themes, the Rebbe goes on to richly illuminate this year's unique teaching about G-d's unchanging creative and animating Lightforce. Then, the Ma'amer begins a journey into terra incognita -- lucidly illustrating what amounts to a startling incongruity in highly disparate Chasidic teachings. In this final Episode, he introduces an elegant reconciliation of both esoteric teachings which are now reframed as interdependent mutually complimentary. Ultimately, the Rebbe reasons, it is not only possible to for these two concepts to co-exist -- but they also actually complete one another! The reconciliation also serves to stir sparks in the sweep of its illuminating new approach. Far beyond compromise, the secret of Light Animation is discovered in the Title Search. Radiant Limitations that would otherwise inhibit [Divine] Light are, in fact transcended by decoding the G-d Given ID to Name the Light! This climatic Episode breaks new ground in its crowning conclusion, as only with spiritual synergy can the creative process be completed. The Ma'amer's end hits high notes on Sparking Redemption and Planting Seeds to energize Exodus -- with the past ordaining the present and our radiant future! This final Episode was sponsored by Jake Hacker & Marla Krybus for the safe release of the Hostages, Amen! * 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).

In Leviticus 23; 40 Moses conveys the Torah's commandment: "On the first day [of the Festival of Sukkot] you must take hold for yourself... Fruit of the Beautiful Tree..." This in-depth mini-series focuses on portions of Masechet Sukkah that record teachings of our Sages about the Etrog. First focusing on deciphering the Torah's deliberate use of enigmatic language and then highlighting other issues that crop up regarding ensuring the Kashruth of this organic Mitzvah item! In these presentations the words of our Sages are richly illuminated by earlier manuscripts and layered commentaries of the medieval, classic, and modern era. Episode Five: "FORBIDDEN FRUIT" Having completed documentation of the biblical sources that identify the Etrog (Citron) as the Beautiful Fruit mentioned in the Torah, we moved on to clarifying the legal status of Unfit Etrogim -- beginning with details that disqualify. The first item was the status of an Etrog harvested from an Oracle Tree that was idolatrously worshipped, or the fruit hailing from a "Forbidden City" that has become corrupted by mass idolatrous rebellion. Following the resolution of those issues, in this new Episode we move on to the Prohibited Produce known as Orla, the first three yields of fruit that are Biblically Blocked from use. This similar, yet different form of contraband merits unique analysis, and the development of independent jurisprudence or legal logic to clarify the cause for disqualification. Colloquially speaking; To Be, or Not to Be… is that a question of Consumption, or is the issue at hand linked to conceptual legalities of Ownership and Monetary Value? Finally, will laws governing Sacred Cohanic Food, and Second Tithe Differentiation, in the Holy City of Jerusalem, play pivotal roles in our quest for comprehension? This is the fifth segment of an ongoing Talmud Series on The Etrog.

In these presentations the words of our Sages are richly illuminated by earlier manuscripts and layered commentaries of the medieval, classic, and modern era. Episode Six: "TWO FOR THE DOUGH" After documenting the biblical sources to identify the Beautiful Fruit mentioned in the Torah as an Etrog (Citron), we began to clarify the legal status of unfit specimens. In the previous Episode we focused on the Prohibited Produce known as Orla, first yields of fruit that are biblically prohibited. This led us into rules and regulations Second Tithe that we must consume in the Holy City of Jerusalem, although it may not technically belong to us. In continuing our quest to better understand the Etrog, we further explore the Second Tithe Connection, which takes into a question of two doughs: Matzah vs Challah! In typical Talmudic fashion, we seek Intergenerational Attribution which forces us to revisit old questions: is it Legal Permission or Cash Value that will determine reality? Here, quite incredibly ruling principles of Sukkot Etrogim, Second Tithes eaten in Jerusalem, Passover unleavened observances, and Cohanic Gifts all converge! This is the Sixth segment of an ongoing Talmud Series on The Etrog.

It features profound insight into the deeper possible meaning of Dreams, as well as the biblical commandment given to the Cohanim (male descendants of the Biblical Aaron, brother of Moses) AKA "Priestly Blessings" as well as the concerns related to ambiguous nocturnal visions! Here you will discover how some things can only be fixed by harnessing the incredible Koach of Kohanic Benedictions to nullify negative potential impact of dreams, (including those we may never have heard of!), and actualize the mysterious potency attached to the nocturnal we can't even recall envisioning! This enlightening Episode will reveal much about the power encoded into the Divine instruction to of priestly hands raising and verses verbalized and will unveil even more about the supranatural force woven into human subconsciousness, and the things and that might only be communicated to us when we are sleeping!

It is the twenty-fifth consecutive class on the Ninth Chapter, AKA Perek HaRoeh. "CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS, Part 2" picks up where we left off in the past Episode, with the specific focus on a verbal formula we can employ to ward off impending negative energy or baleful possibilities linked to mysterious dreams. Continuing to build on the insight previously presented regarding potency of prayer at the "Priestly Blessings." In this fascinating class we learn about Solidifying Vision, Healing Bitterness, and the Power of Public Affirmation to neutralize the negative potential of dreams -- even those we can't even recall! To understand how this resolution works, we'll have to first decipher the secret code of a seemingly disjointed prayer formula. Finding the organic links between a dreamy adolescent heartthrob, harshly unpleasant waters, a suddenly stricken prophetess, the comeback king, and curses of an evil prophet will be truly eye-opening! By unraveling the prayerful text to be recited alongside priestly singing and chanting that, significantly, climaxes in communal affirmation -- we will also achieve a profound new appreciation of a well-known, but little understood Tefilla!

This in-depth Gemara study is about fascinating teachings of our Sages regarding THE RESURRECTION; the belief that those who lived, will rise to live again. This cardinal principal of our eternal Torah Faith is the theme of the second blessing of the Amida. There seems to be a Torah tradition linking The Resurrection in Messianic Times exclusively to Israel. The obvious question: what about people buried elsewhere?! This and other mysterious issues are addressed in this mini-series. Episode One: Masechet Ketubot, Daf 111a, "LAND OF THE LIVING" focuses on Graveyard Geography and the prophesized Return of The Dead! To be sure, the universal resuscitation of our deceased after the arrival of Moshiach is a foundational Article of our Jewish Faith. From clear teachings in the Mishna and elsewhere it certainly seems to be inclusive of most (if not all) of Am Yisrael regardless of where they were (or weren't) interred. Shockingly, however, there seems to be an authentic Torah tradition indicating that those buried in the Diaspora would be excluded from this paranormal phenomenon. Yet, how in heaven can that be true?!

This in-depth Gemara study is about fascinating teachings of our Sages regarding THE RESURRECTION; the belief that those who lived, will rise to live again -- the principal of our Torah Faith that comprises the second blessing of the Amida. There seems to be a Torah tradition linking The Resurrection in Messianic Times exclusively to Israel. The obvious question: what about people buried elsewhere?! This and other mysterious issues are addressed in this mini-series. Masechet Ketubot, Daf 111a -- Episode Two, entitled "QUANTUM TUNNELING," is about a futuristic subterranean Holyland Highway that'll enable the prophesized Return of The Dead for those buried outside the proverbial Land of The Living! Backgrounder: The Messianic Era resuscitation of the deceased seems to include most (if not all) of Am Yisrael, interment location notwithstanding. Yet, in our first Episode we learnt about the Resurrection happening only for those buried in Israel. This teaching appears to be at odds with other accepted traditions about the (near) all-inclusive revival of [pious] people regardless of where they were laid to rest. This Episode introduces resolution by reconciling the veracity of both teachings: Indeed, from around the world, everyone will rise to their ultimate destiny. At the same time Israel is the true Land of the Living. The reconciling of the seeming contradiction is to be found in a tunneling concept called Gilgul Mechilot, which may be an ancient allusion to modern quantum physics.

This in-depth Gemara study is about fascinating teachings of our Sages regarding THE RESURRECTION; the belief that those who lived, will rise to live again -- the principal of our Torah Faith that comprises the second blessing of the Amida. There seems to be a Torah tradition linking The Resurrection in Messianic Times exclusively to Israel, and kindred exclusivity to the Righteous. What about people buried elsewhere, what about those lacking merit, and most of all how does it square with the Mishna ruling that all of Am Yisrael are included?! Masechet Ketubot, Daf 111b -- Episode Three, entitled "THEY LIVE" addresses a burning question on The Resurrection: is this reserved for the righteous, or will the masses be included as well? In the previous Episode we clarified the teaching on Resurrection happening only in Israel. Now we will move to another surprising teaching indicating that only perfectly pious people will merit coming back to life in the end of Days. This teaching appears to be at odds with other accepted traditions about the (near) all-inclusive revival of people regardless of their level of learning, observance, or piety. To some degree, the reconciling of these seemingly disparate Torah traditions may be clarified by virtue of a far more inclusive definition of righteousness. Yet lowering the bar won't enable us to overcome the stubborn facts. Clearly the Dew of [re-animated] Life can only flow from the Torah's Light and radiance. How then might [spiritual] commoners receive the vivifying life-elixir energy of the future?! We on a true high with an uplifting and illuminating teaching that shows us all how ordinary people can achieve extraordinary levels of connectivity with G-d. This climatic Episode will provide powerful information on how we can link into the spiritual network to facilitate resuscitation despite systemic inadequacies!

This Special Holiday Series: LOVE, LIGHTS, HANUKKAH! is designed to illuminate the meaning of our Jewish Festival of Lights by highlighting little known details of the Historical, Theological, Halachik and Spiritual underpinnings of Chanukah. The Sixth Episode, entitled THE LIGHTHOUSE shines a bright light on technical obligation of Chanukah's radiant Mitzvah: Lighting the Menorah! Just about everyone knows that the formal ritual of the Jewish Festival of Lights revolves around the kindling of a Chanukah flames, as established by our Sages from the very beginning. Clearly, this Mitzvah occupies the central space in the observance and celebration of this glowing holiday. Halacha has much to say, not only the timing and fueling of this commandment, but the living conditions that are required for the Mitzvah to apply altogether. The necessity of a formal dwelling, and what establishes it is the subject of this encompassing discussion. Do your sleeping quarters, or the place of dining serve as the primary place of one's dwelling. The exploration of the jurisprudence that resolves this questions of what establishes personal space also leads to fresh insight about the Menorah's message, ultimately illuminating the issue and providing resolution. Whatever your level of Torah literacy this presentation will present an important grasp of the Mitzvah obligations the defines this illuminating holiday! The contents of this Sixth Episode of our special holiday series are stand alone, and not necessarily linked to the other presentations.

Chanukah After Bondi Beach: When Light Did Not Retreat
Chanukah After Bondi Beach: When Light Did Not Retreat
Dec 23, 2025
1:00:13
As Chanukah 5786 began, our hearts were made heavy. Our Festival of Light opened with unfathomable darkness, as fifteen Jews were brutally murdered al Kiddush Hashem while a public menorah lighting at Bondi Beach was just getting underway. Among those murdered were two rabbis - shluchim of the Rebbe serving the Jewish community, a Holocaust survivor, and a ten-year-old child. Dozens more were wounded, many critically. Before the menorah could be lit, murderous violence erupted, leaving parents bereaved, spouses widowed, children orphaned, and an entire community profoundly traumatized. There are no words that make this make sense. And our Emunah and Bitachon (faith and trust) in Hashem, do not ask us to pretend otherwise. But Chanukah was never about denying the darkness. It was about bringing light into it, and ultimately eradicating it, by allowing that light to shine forth. This Chanukah, we mourned. We cried. We prayed. For the wounded, for the families whose lives were forever changed, and for the safety of Jewish communities everywhere. And at the very same time, we did not withdraw from who we are. Not even for a moment. In fact, remarkably, we did exactly the opposite. Across cities and continents, The Rebbe's Shluchim uplifted and inspired many, gathering crowds to observe and celebrate a Chanukah unlike any other in living memory. Menorahs were lit proudly and publicly. Jewish life was lived openly. Torah ideas were shared and taught. Acts of kindness multiplied. Songs of faith were sung, and the joy of Yiddishkeit carried the days. This attack was meant to frighten Jews away from public Jewish life. It was meant to make visible Jewish practice feel unsafe, optional, or negotiable. They expected us to shrink into the shadows. Instead, it magnified the light. Exponentially. Chanukah’s presence was elevated in ways we could not have previously imagined. Menorahs shone more brightly than ever, and the light of Yiddishkeit spread outward with joyful resolve, without hesitation and without apology. Not as an act of protest, and not to make a statement. But because this is how The Rebbe taught his Chassidim and Shluchim to live. Because this is what our mission demands: not merely to continue bringing light, but to increase its intensity precisely where darkness tried to take hold. As we reflect on Chanukah 5786, we are reminded that light does not need to shout. It simply needs to be increased. We continue to pray that Hashem comfort the mourners, heal the wounded, protect our communities, and bring an end to this senseless cruelty. And we commit ourselves to strengthening all that brings light into the world. And we resolve to strengthen our Shlichut: to increase the study of Torah, the performance of mitzvot, and the spread of light with greater clarity and commitment - precisely in the places where darkness sought to prevail - to hasten the long-awaited arrival of Moshiach, speedily and in our days. Amen.
