Mystical Insights In The Parshah – Vayeira 5751

Though every Rebbe is a great source light, nonetheless there are individual specialties.
The benfit of Chassidus Chabad is in its ability to take the Divine realities and through explaining it logically it becomes real which allows a person to increase in their actions – for actions result from emotion and emotions increase based on appreciation of a subject’s importance.
The Rebbe Rashab holds the title “The Rambam of Chassidus” for like the Rambam who clearly categorized in an easy and accessible format Jewish law, the Rebbe Rashab categorized Chassidus.
Just as the written Torah includes everything that would be revealed from it later – as our sages state, “There is nothing which isn’t hinted to in the Torah” – similarly Tanya, visa-vie Chassidus. Note 17
The Alter Rebbe’s main emphasis was on helping people return to God.
The revelation of God is in and through Torah – God’s words.
This began at the Giving of the Torah when they saw God’s speech (“they saw what is normally heard.”)
The revelation of God through Torah is primarily in Halacha (Jewish laws.)
However the revelation of God is most pronounced in the esoteric part of Judaism – Kabbalah (“the tree of life in which there is no questions and doubt” and deals only with spiritual abstract conceptual reality – not some of the negative the Torah dealing with this world gets into.)
So in the Halachah part of Chassidus – namely the Rebbe Rashab’s teaching, there is the most sublime spiritual light.
Generally The Mammarim of the Rebbes are the highest level of Divine revelation as is known from Reb Hillel Paritcher.
A general principle in a Jews life and in Jewish education is, every Jew must continually long for, desire and do whatever possible that God should be revealed to him – to the extent as it was by Avrohom.
Furthermore this striving to have God’s revelation is a constant part of a Jew’s service which must be present at all times and places.
On the 130^th anniversary of the Rebbe Rashabs birthday the Rebbe said (and he goes into the Kabbalistic significance as 130 is 5 times 26, the name of God) the ability to live united with God on a daily basis manifested.
This ability comes to every Jew regardless of his Torah study – though of-course one must begin studying at the basic level – but this level of uniting with God exists, as if he completed all.
