Arso-so what? We have that also in Tanya 42 (I’m fluent in Lashon hakodesh and Yiddish BH, no need to translate)

Qwerty have you seen in Aleinu everyday that we daven that Hashem will be the only king when moshiach comes

Arso: here’s further stuff to look into with the mekoros- enjoy learning and let us know what you find

וזוהי השייכות ליעקב אבינו דוקא — כי “נשיא” הוא ר”ת “ניצוצו של יעקב אבינו”55, דכמו שיעקב אבינו הי’ “מאחד את כל ישראל” (כמ”ש בגו”א כאן)56, ובלשון רבינו הזקן57 שנשמת יעקב היתה “כלולה מכל הנשמות שבישראל מעולם ועד עולם” — כן הוא אצל כל נשיא ישראל, שנשמתו היא נשמה כללית ה­כלולה מכל נשמות אנשי דורו, ולכן הוא מאחד את כולם58.

וזהו שכ’ ופירש רש”י שיעקב אבינו הביא “ארזים” למצרים, כי כל הנשיאים הם ניצוץ של יעקב אבינו, ומקורם הוא מארץ ישראל, כי באמת הם למעלה מ­ענין הגלות59, אלא שכדי להכניס בבנ”י הכח להתגבר על חשכת הגלות ולבנות משכן במדבר, “נטעם” במצרים, בזמן הגלות.

וזוהי נחמתם של ישראל בהיותם ב­”מדבר העמים”, שיש להם ה”ארזים” ש­נטע יעקב אבינו בכל דור ודור60 שהם למעלה מהגלות, ונראים לבנ”י ומשפי­עים כח בכל ישראל לא להתפעל מ­חשכת הגלות כ”א להתגבר עליו, עד שבונים ועושים משכן במדבר.

ואזי זוכים לנחמה השלימה — נחמה כפשוטה ממש, בפועל ממש — שהנחמה היחידה האפשרית על אריכות גלות זה האחרון היא — גאולה האמיתית וה­שלימה61 על ידי משיח צדקנו, כפשוטה ממש, למטה מעשרה טפחים ממש, וב­מהרה בימינו ממש.

Arso:
“That is weird! Is that the same as Trump lehavdil considering himself President? You don’t become something because you decide to be that thing. Unless, of course, you are extremely woke.”

Look, for the definition of Nassi- see the post Menachem posted earlier- which came from The Rebbe.

As Mimale Makom of The Frierdiker Rebbe, the Rebbe filled his role in this regard as well. Or you can say he never saw himself as his own Rebbe- it seems whatever directives he gave and brochos etc etc were all told to him by The Frierdiker Rebbe, whether by the Ohel or elsewhere- that’s also true. In any case that’s what I meant.

As far as there being only one- dunno- it is true that Tanya says Roshei Bnei Yisrael shebidoram in the plural. So it would make sense that Moshe could also be in the plural. I’m not sure if Nassi hador means there’s only one the same way Moshe could be plural as well. I don’t really care either.

2scents:
“אין דור שאין בו כמשה״ (ב״ר פנ״ו ז׳

In the Zohar: אתפשטותא דמשה שבכל דרא ודרא

So we mean the Moshe Rabbeinu of the generation.

How do we connect better through our Rebbe?
-A niggun off The Rebbe reveals the yechida shebinefesh and helps the other parts of the Neshama to have strength to do what’s right

– Through the Torah of The Rebbe, I learn and understand much more about Hashem’s power, greatness and Self, which strengthens my yiras shomayim.

I also know what my mission is in this generation (specialized on top of keeping Torah and mitzvos)

And my personal shlichus

Observing The Rebbe also teaches me more yiras shomayim- if that’s what Hashem’s servant is like, how much more so Hashem, learn proper middos, how to be mechanech and so much more

“Non existent nassi hador”

Actually Rashi speaks about a nassi hador (is it leinei kol Yisrael?) “Yisrael nikraim Moshe uMoshe Nikra Yisrael ki nassi hador hu kichol hador ki hanassi hu hakol”

Remember from chitas

Along those lines I say The Rebbe, because The Rebbe took his responsibility as Nassi HaDor and was there to help every Jew who needed help weather bgashmius uvruchnius.

Many Jews (not just Lubavitcher) streamed to The Rebbe for yechidus/ dollars etc

Ik I didn’t finish work Avira yet but this was too easy

Ujm- forgot to add- as I’ve been learning deep stuff on Shir HaShirim- I’ve come to realize that whoever degrades women degrades himself too, because all of klal Yisrael are Hashem’s “wife”, and have a feminine avoda in relation to Him.

Ujm- it kind of connected and didn’t want to waste time finding the original threads where we were discussing Torah and feminism…

Avira, I can respond to your post but before I do, please explain the פסוק: ויאמינו בה׳ ובמשה עבדו

Why should the Yidden need to believe in Moshe? Shouldn’t they only believe in Hashem? Especially that their Emuna in Hashem wasn’t so great at that point? Thanks

For Ujm I came across an amazing maamar which was from the mitteler Rebbe, (way before feminism), which explained that the reason why Kabbala uses the male female paradigm for Hashem and bnei Yisrael/ mashpia mekabel, instead of teacher and student/ rich and poor, is that in the latter examples, one is superior, and self sufficient and the other batul and will have nothing without the former.

However the male female dynamic is unique- as although in certain aspects- the male is the mashpia, they both are contributors to the child (in fact she is greater contributor) and nothing will happen without the other one so they’re equally needing the other to make creation happen. And so too Knesses Yisrael and Hakadosh Baruch Hu (ie Malchus and 6 Sefiros) team up to create new life force/ neshamos etc. There was alot more detail which I won’t put on the net, you’re welcome to learn inside, (biurei zohar, of noach from p. Yud Beis and on)
stam I thought it was fascinating from many angles and thought ujm would appreciate

Avira- golda Meir isn’t running anything from the grave- whereas if you’ve been to the ohel of the Rebbe, you’ll see all types of Yidden (not just Lubavitchers- yea I’ve been many times) with all kinds of reasons they’re coming, and his impact is even farther reaching than in his life (many more shluchim went out after gimmel Tammuz than before).

But yah, I don’t get exactly how it “works” because I’m not The Rebbe and don’t see spiritual workings etc. I just know it does because I see it

The obvious difference between a politician and a tzadik with regards to how they are Hashem’s messenger is that a politician likely thinks his plans and actions on behalf of the country are his own cvs and nothing to do with Hashem although לב מלכים ושרים ביד השם, whereas a Rebbe is completely batul to Hashem and has no ulterior motives. Hashem’s light/ plans etc just shine through him because there’s no sense of a separate self… and this is the true metzius of a yid- to exchange his yeshus for bitul and thereby become/ achieve much greater than he could ever be stuck in his yeshus

To add to Menachem’s post, in Tanya perek Beis it explains that all neshamos are one body and receive everything from Hashem through the “head” (Tzaddikim/ Rebbes) Neshamos.

For another context, The Rebbe was able to tell an Israeli member of the army the accurate number of hour many soldiers had died on a recent mission (different than the official number given to the public.) when later asked how he knew, he said every Neshama coming into or leaving this world passes through his room…

@nomesorah thanks, necessity creates brevity- for me.

@5783- looks like you have a highly complex post trying to insinuate that Chassidus doesn’t consider any Jew directly from Atzmus (which I haven’t gotten a great look at yet and would probably involve sharing chapters of derech mitzvosecha which no one wants) and since I’m probably not as learned as you- I’ll let The Rebbe speak for himself.

Direct quote sefer hasichos II 5751, p605, bottom of footnotes:
) וע”ד המבואר לעיל (ס”ה) בנוגע לישראל. אלא שבישראל, הרי מציאותם גופא הוא (כביכול) העצמות, משא”כ כח העצמות בעולם (ראה לקו”ש חי״ב ע’ 75. סה”ש תשמ”ח שבהערה 56).

You’re welcome to look up these fns

Also I will say, that my drive to get to the bottom of Moriah min hameisim issue started in the cr several years ago. I shared that newfound knowledge recently (as Avira can attest) on a different thread here recently… so I owe the cr my gratitude. Thanks!

Because someone was glad to see me peeping in, I’ll give my answer again to the old old question which I
must’ve answered before (and this time you can keep it on file for the future if you find it helpful.)

Here’s how a simple Lubavitcher understood that The Rebbe is atzmus umehus areingeshtelt in a guf gashmi:

Every one of us has a Neshama which is (at the core of its core- yechida) a chelek Eloka mimaal mamash (Tanya Perek Beis.)

However, most of us operate on a lower level of soul for the most part:
Nefesh- action
Ruach- emotion
Neshama- intellectual

These take up the vast majority of our lives. Sometimes we get a bit of a Chaya- Emuna or Yechida- one with Hashem (usually brought out with mesirus nefesh where one feels it is impossible to separate from Hashem.) moments.

However, A Rebbe lives in tune with the deepest part of his Neshama- yechida lyechidcha at all times. He is a proper G-dly ambassador every moment of the day (which is who all Yidden are at our core.)

(There’sa sicha in 5751-5752 where The Rebbe says the metzius of every Jew is Atzmus umehus.

That’s the understanding of a simple young
Lubavitcher. Menachem Shmei added other mekoros- it’s not solely a Lubavitcher thing. The end

Avira- agreed- none of the conditions for moshiach Vadai have been met (and if anyone gives you a hard time on this- you can see The Rebbe say it himself in kuntres Beis Rabbeinu shebibavel)

I’m kind is surprised why no one asked why/ what it means that geula will be a feminine era whereas golus was masculine… that would have been an interesting discussion. But never mind. Go on and discuss Zionism or whatever else…

Cont’
And at the same time there is a deeper meaning behind it which is the world shifting towards the feminine in preparation for the geula as mentioned…

Ujm it would be helpful to quote which part of my post didn’t sit well with you.

“ I would imagine that alarge part of Feminisms are against the Torah. I never got an answer why Feminisms in general are counter to everything.”

Just putting it out there, the Rebbe saw feminism as an essentially positive movement at its core, that was there because the world was shifting towards the feminine- as will be completed fully when moshiach comes (all over Chassidus on the pesukim אשת חיל עטרת בעלה and נקבה תסובב גבר) but emphasized that the secular implications that women could be and should be as good as men with careers etc. was erroneous, and also anti feminism, because it implies that women have to be like men in order to be worth something. Torah is the true feminism that celebrates women’s qualities. Women were spoken to first by Matan Torah, where we started off, and women will bring us to the completion of the Geula.

But there were things The Rebbe did as part of embracing this era of feminism that were not done before, such as sichos just for women, encouraging women to speak up and give their opinion, special mivtzoim for women in and much more

“It is a mistake to portray the mental health field as basing all pathology on the client being the victim of someone else’s cruelty. ”

This was meant as an example of people I know/ heard about their description of therapy- and they’re still struggling as a result…

My personal experience was one who was confident that could help me, and let’s just say that I ended up in the hospital because the solution wasn’t what therapist has said it would be, and I diligently followed instructions…

And then, less dramatic was the cbt which was plainly unhelpful. BH I recovered and emotionally is only because of Torah.
