Alef Kabbala Group

The Alef Kabbala Group (21 October 2014) studied a discourse by the Lubavitcher Rebbe said on the Shabbat of Bereishit in 1967. This starts with the words "And the heavens and earth and all within them were completed.." (Gen.2:1). The discourse gives three meanings for 'completed' and shows how these are really three dimensions of life. They are: Nature, serving G-d, and a delight granted by G-d which transcends everything.

The Alef Kabbala Group (6 October 2014) studied a discourse by the Lubavitcher Rebbe said on the second day of Succot in 1967. This opens with a passage from the Mishnah 'One who makes his Succah under a tree is like someone making his Succah in a house'. This becomes the basis for a subtle exploration of the nature of the Succah.

Project Lechaim: Tanya and occasional Discourses with Tali Loewenthal

PROJECT LECHAIM 20 June 2012, shortly before the Yahrzeit of the Lubavitcher Rebbe on 3 Tammuz (23 June this year). We studied the last Chassidic Discourse which the Rebbe edited, shortly before his stroke in 1992. This concerns the function of a Jewish leader, and helps us understand the significance of the chain of leaders of the Jewish people, including the Rebbe himself.

Shiurim

Shiur in 2 parts by Tali Loewenthal in the Maamar by the Lubavitcher Rebbe 'Ani Ledodi' said in 5732 (1972). The Shiur was given in September 2009. The text is in Torat Menachem Sefer HaMaamarim Melukat, month of Elulp.223, or in the earlier edition of Sefer HaMaamarim Melukat,vol.3 p.263. The discourse contrasts the well-known severe aspect of spiritual preparation for Rosh Hashana - expressing awe of the Divine - with a more joyous aspect, described in Chassidic teachings, expressing love.
