אל בגורל תשל״ה

אך בגורל מלוקט א

וידבר אלקים אל משה תשל״ב

הללו את ה׳ כל גוים מלוקט א

There different changes that the Jewish people went through at the time of the giving of the Torah. But most importantly it was that they became a Kingdom of Ministers. The ability to elevate to physical into the spiritual. ליקוטי שיחות חלק י״ח במדבר - ב סיון

Pharaoh, Bilam, and Sancheriv were from the most vicious enemies of the Jewish people. Each one represents a different type of evil.

Hashem’s love to the Jewish people is so powerful, it is greater than any limitations of 3, 10, or even 100 years. It is eternal! This love can only be revealed in this world. באתי לגני תשי״ט

Expand your self love that hides all your failings, to include all those around you, so that you love them as yourself despite all their faults. This unity attaches us with Hashem’s unity, so that His love covers over and hides all our misdeeds. דרך מצותיך , מצות אהבת ישראל

What is more powerful, the spiritual service of refining one’s character and elevating one’s soul, or doing physical Mitzvos? Chassidus teaches us the power of the physical Mitzvos have a greater impact than all the spiritual work. באתי לגני תשי״ט

To love a Jew unconditionally means to recognize his/her untainted soul as it is one with the essence of Hashem. At the same time empowering him/her to maximize the soul’s potential by making efforts to bring him/her closer to Torah and Mitzvos. ליקוטי שיחות חלק טז קדושים שיחה ג

Hashem has the unique ability to combine the opposite forces of the infinite and finite together. A Jew has a similar power to bring the infinite light of Hashem into every mundane action. מים רבים תשי״ז

A Jew Chooses Hashem not for any self benefit even the most spiritual such as Gan Eden. Rather his/her connection comes from the soul’s essence connection with Hashem. ביום עשתי עשר תשל״א

Everything that ones has comes directly from Hashem without any intermediary. מים רבים תשי״ז

A Jew chooses to serve Hashem because of his/her soul connection to Hashem but he/she is wise and comes to that conclusion logically. ביום עשתי עשר תשל״א

The purpose of man in this world is to elevate himself to experience the connection to Hashem as in the hidden worlds. הפך ים ליבשה תשכ״ז

There is a lot more to the question than why do we do these Mitzvos on the night of Pesach. כי ישאלך בנך תשל״ח

There are 2 steps in the process of the connection Chassan and Kallah. An external connection and an internal connection. לכה דודי תשי״ד

How to explain the evil inclination that doing a sin is not worthwhile. מכתב יו״ד כסלו תשי״ד

The Godly soul entering the animal soul is a state of exile. Our mission in this world is to exit this exile. דרך מצותיך מצות השבתת חמץ ואכילת מצה

Matzah gives us a new level of faith in Hashem, how He is totally above and beyond creation. Just like a toddler learns to call to his father and mother. דרך מצותיך מצות השבתת חמץ ואכילת מצה

The Jewish people are commanded to believe in one God. The Gentiles may believe the Hashem is God of all gods. באתי לגני תשי״ג

The ritual of the Parah Adumah was a combination of fire and water. Representing the yearning of the soul as the fulfillment of the mission in this world. Teshuva even for Tzadikim. משיחת פרשת פרה תשמ״ט

The Rebbe is a continuation of Moshe Rabeinu. Just like Moshe Rabeinu is eternal because his essence is Torah. The same is true about the Rebbe. ליקוטי שיחות חלק כו פרשת שמות
