Sicha Insight, Rabbi Avraham Lipszyc

What was so unique about the test of the Akeida , that it alone would define whether any test Abraham had passed was of substance or not? True self-sacrifice is when what G-d is asking of you it makes no sense at all. And yet, you do it anyway

A man like Abraham sees G-d’s reward a as the service of making G-d’s name great: ”Such is what awaits he who serves G-d!” So too, EVERY Jew, ultimately, internally, wants what they want but for the sake of G-d

After explaining the simple mathematics of the years stated in the verses concerning the age of each generation, and in what year Torah events took place, the Rebbe explains the importance of knowing the exact age of the world, to our faith that G-d created the world!

It isn't what man eats, but why he thinks that he can it, that G-d is defining, when creating man

The power of the Circle , the Encompassing Power is that it penetrates and permeates the Line , the Internal Faculties . However, when denied the revelation of the Internal Faculties are denied to us, that the joy of the Encompassing Power becomes infinitely superior!

What happens when you breed two kosher animals, or two non-kosher animals together? What happens when you plow with a kosher and a non-kosher together? What happens when G-d commands us to do a mitzvah with a mixture of two "kosher" fabrics? The difference is whether we are breeding a forbidden ultimate union, a forbidden external union, or are drawing G-d's glory and splendor in the world!

Within man exists all categories of the world: The inanimate , his thoughts, speech and action the plant his emotions, the animal within man is his intellect, and the human within the human is his manifestation of Wisdom creativity. Nevertheless, Man's primary expression of ' essence ' is within his Emotions . Hence, "Man IS a tree"

When the perpetrator is missing, the " situation " still begs for an atonement. Hence, spiritually , speaking even for when one is culpable for his own situation, nevertheless, the situation demands of everyone, even those in the High Court in the Holy Temple , to go out and bring the victim the spiritual sustenance he needs to overcome his situation!

G-d commands us to not only show gratitude to those who were enslaved to us, but to also help him become "completely Free" through giving him, and giving him again, with a lavish hand.

For what does G-d have favoritism and accept bribery for, and for what not? What Bribery does G-d accept? Learn the power of charity and of repentance and how they work for sinners.

After dissecting each phrase in Rashi's seemingly unnecessary comment, and the teaching us the halachic outcome of this Rashi, the Rebbe goes on to teach us its lesson in life: Rashi teaches us, that in order to be purified, or to help others be purified, before G-d, one must remove his virtuous spiritual garments of honor and glory. Rather, one must enter into the Holy of Holies of his soul, whic...

Why did our Rebbe teach us to purposely eat ' gebrochtz ' on the Last Day of Passover?! Because the Rebbe wants us to taste Moshiach here and now! More than this, it is permissible to eat " chametz " at the " Meal of Moshiach " which starts on Passover, if the meal extended, and one is now in his Passover meal, after dark! Amazingly, when this person who ate chametz after dark, during his final Pa...

What seems to be simple Rashi commentary upon listing the different categories of the Male Zav Impurities, the Rebbe takes on an amazing journey, which leads us into the " hidden deep concept " of the essence of one of the categories of the Male Zav, that of, " A man who sees two discharges " Important Correction: In my article and audio, I mistakenly listed the law of, " A man who sees two discha...

Our marriage with G-d takes place at our Brit Milah *, in which two " Half of a Body ," that were separated and estranged from each other, are united as one. Hence, the Bridesmaid brings the baby to the Brit Milah , where the " Groomsman " then takes the baby and brings him to the Chair of Elijah.

The suffering of tzara'as is inflicted only upon the good. Why?! Because only the good merit G-d's love, in offering them to cleanse any hidden evil, which hidden evil expresses itself only in one's external faculty of speech, in words, while not evil, yet not carefully measured. However, those with revealed evil, who do not work diligently to correct and refine their inner -self, are not offered...

We came to this world to serve G-d, and for this, G-d rewards us with filled treasures in this world as well. Listen to how the Rebbe weaves through the last two Mishnayos of all 360 Mishnayos, finding the depths of the siyum of studying and living 360 Mishnayos

The Rebbe explores, defines and innovates, upon: A) Is the 'Kohain Gadol’s Offering' primarily a Communal Offering or an Individual Offering? Which leads to… [A2) Do we need a special phrase in the verse to teach us that this offer is ‘Tamid - Continuous,’ or not?] B) In the interim, between a death, and then appointment, of a Kohain Gadol, is the offering brought from the inheritor’s, or from the...

By continuously honoring the the Holy Temple, we are continuously building the Holy Temple!

Why did G-d show Moses the "k not of His tefillin ," in teaching Moses the, " Order of Prayer ," to, " Beseech G-d's Compassion ," in atonement for sin? All we have to do in order not to sin, and to correct pass sins, is to " remember " that G-d is consistently creating us " creatio ex nihilo "! Every tie a knot in order to remember something? Well the knot of Tefillin and the knots of a Tallit ar...
