Chassidus Explained

Rabbi Shmuel Wagner

Chassidus that speaks your Language!
Enjoy a weekly Shiur on a Maamar of Chassidus, with a focus on clarity and practical application. Some will be one-week Maamarim, while others will continue over three or four weeks, but each Shiur will contain in it a clear, complete, and concrete lesson, culling from the truth of Chassidus and carrying into our modern-day lives. Invigorate your week with a fresh infusion of Chassidus energy!

    Al Kein Koru Layomim Ho'eileh Purim 5713 part 3/4 (Se'if 7)

    If אחשורוש is already a level above השתלשלות - where the גזירה can take effect - why did המן need the גורל? The רבי explains that while in the "אחשורוש" plane of above השתלשלות there are no differences of levels, there are still levels. Whereas on the "גורל" plane, there are no levels at all. Only from that place can המן plan his גזירה.

    Al Kein Koru Layomim Ho'eileh Purim 5713 part 2/4 (Se'if 5-6)

    If גורל is such a high level, what was המן thinking to use it against the אידן ח"ו?! The answer is, specifically from such a high level of סובב did המן think that his plot can take effect. Because within השתלשלות, even המן understood that he does not stand a chance against the אידן. This is connected with אחשורוש, which is the level of סובב. That is where the silence of קדושה can become silence of קליפה. So why did he need a גורל?! Stay tuned...

    Al Kein Koru Layomim Ho'eileh Purim 5713 part 1/4 (Se'if 1-4)

    In this historically famous מאמר (in connection with Stalin ימח שמו's death - see videos below), the רבי begins by explaining the power of a גורל: Not only is a גורל higher than שכל, it is higher than - and controls - רצון as well, by connecting to the בעל הרצון. This explains the connection of פורים to יום כיפור - and how פורים is in fact greater than יום כיפור! - in their ability to attain כפרה through reaching beyond השתלשלות.

    Basi Legani 5726 part 5/5 (Se'if 5-8)

    View the PDF of the מאמר booklet ⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠. Finishing the מאמר, the רבי explains the experience of מקיף הרחוק - through משלים and the stories of תורה. Specifically through the 'low' level stories of תורה and the 'simple' מעשה המצות we tap into the deepest level of the עצם and תענוג הפשוט - and that's the אוצר!
