English translation — ש״פ וישב, כ*ג כסלו, מסרת טבת

And in the language of Chassidus • as explained in the statement of our Sages of blessed memory".

The Holy One, blessed be He, did not exile Israel among the nations except so that converts would be added to them",

So.

Converts" hints at and also refers to the sparks of holiness which are found in all worldly matters,

And this is the reason,

Hashem exiled Israel" to various places in the world,

is in order to clarify, refine and elevate the sparks that are found in that place.

And therefore,

Hashem specifically scattered Israel among the nations" - because through this comes the advantage of their work in clarifying the holy sparks which are found

(in the customs)

in every country and every place.

From this is understood the advantage in that Jews are dispersed and settle in many different countries of the world - until in a manner of,

And you shall spread out to the west, to the east, to the north, and to the south"

(like the blessing of the Holy One, blessed be He, to Jacob")

- Because specifically through the service of Jews in all countries of the world, in a manner of internal involvement

(in every place according to its nature / through busying oneself and living in the land,

and behaving in matters permitted according to the customs of the country,

can a Jew accomplish the clarification and refinement

(in a manner of from below to above)

of every place according to its nature,

So it becomes a,

A dwelling place for Him, blessed be He, in the lower realms"¹,

•'Lower realms' in plural,

According to each low-

er one

(and place)

In its own category.

But not so when one is there temporarily,

Or one influences from another place,

one does not conduct themselves there in the same manner as when one lives there permanently and settled, and one is familiar with the local customs.

Moreover—through this one also achieves strength and success in the service.

As understood simply: the reason for the differences in customs

(according to Torah)

between country and country,

is due to the special characteristics of the country

(the nature of the place,

The nature of the local people and the like/ or for that,

When one conducts oneself according to the local custom - which is more suited to the understanding of this place - it brings more success.

Therefore, a Jew who finds himself in this place must conduct himself according to the custom of the country,

until he must also utilize the local customs in his service of G-d,

because through this, it brings him more success also in his service in accordance with the local customs.

[Until that which the law is that one must conduct himself according to the local customs - this causes that the local custom becomes a directive based on Torah.

So there where there is no contradiction to halacha,

does halacha itself obligate a Jew to conduct himself according to the custom of the land in matters of business/

And in this itself

[the avodah in every place in the world]

there are in general two matters and stages -

the inner action in that lowest,

that we bring holiness even into that lowest place,

According to his boundaries.

But this can be in a way that the lower remains a lower and he is no more than a receiver from the

Sefer HaSichos - 5752

The upper influencer.

Then there is a higher manner of service:

The clarification and refinement is to such an extent,

that the place

(lower)

himself

(in his special qualities)

becomes a place of Torah and mitzvos,

through building there institutions of Torah, prayer, and acts of kindness,

synagogues and study halls, etc.,

so that the place becomes, as it were, self-standing,

and does not need to receive influence

(from holiness)

from a place

(second, more superior,

and furthermore - not 'as if',

but in a manner that one reveals the advantage in the lower itself,

as the place becomes like the essence itself

(a dwelling place for His essence, blessed be He")

On the contrary: the people of the place err in air• [and] in Torah and mitzvos with their own initiative.

(initiative/ in accordance with the special customs and ways

("goes in the manner")

of that place,

with which he distinguishes himself from other places.

Accordingly, the conduct of our generation compared to previous generations is understandable: in the previous generations, Jews were not as widespread throughout the ends of the earth as in our generation.

Certainly not in the time when the Beis Hamikdash existed, when Jews were in Eretz Yisrael

(וסביבתה/ נאר אפילו אין די דורות הראשונים אין גלות,

Jews were only in certain countries,

At most only in the upper hemisphere: unlike in later generations - Jews became more widespread in many countries,

until also in the lower hemisphere

(In

America etc./ And in every generation more was added to this,

until our generation - where Jews are found in literally every corner of the earth,

and they fulfill there Torah and mitzvos,

And in a manner of investment according to the customs of the place,

Until then they have built and are continuing to build institutions of Torah and mitzvos in each and every place according to its nature.

When one ponders this - even for a brief moment - one sees the achievement of our generation compared to previous generations,

In that one has the clarification and refinement of each and every country in the world.

And according to what was discussed above

(And several times/ that according to all signs, one has already completed all clarifications,

It is prepared because one already stands at the redemption.

All matters are arranged in a manner of generality and particularity.

The aforementioned matter - the perfection of the refinement of the world - mirrors itself especially in the refinement of the country France.

And to preface,

That in one of the prophecies of the Redemption

(in the haftorah of the last Shabbos)

One explicitly interprets the country France: "And this captivity of the children of Israel etc. until France etc. they shall inherit the cities of the Negev,

And saviors shall ascend Mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau, and the kingdom shall be the L‑rd's"¹⁵.

One must understand: From that which the prophet specifies the exile and redemption

Shabbos Parshas Vayeishev,

23 Kislev,

SamZ'Ch Teves

from France,

it is understood that there is a special fleet between them,

it is clear that even that Jews were initially sent at the beginning of the exile in France,

is what is the practical difference of this interpretation in the verse,

and in particular in a purpose that speaks of it.

(Not about the beginning of the exile almost two thousand years ago,

but)

about the Redemption!

It is therefore understood that in the Redemption it matters that this is before Bogdan with France,

and that,

"this exile of the beginning"

(the beginning of the exile)

was in,

France*.

And the reason may be said,

Because the completeness of the clarification of the world -

And the kingdom shall be Hashem's* - is accomplished through the clarification and ascent of

(

the Jewish people* in)

France,

as follows.

One will understand it according to the change and innovation in the relationship of Jews in our generation to the country of France,

Regarding the relationship in the generation of the old Rebbe:

It is known,

That in the time of the old Rebbe,

When there was the war between Napoleon of France

(France)

And the Tsar Alexander of Russia,

The Alter Rebbe held

(not like another gadol b'Yisrael")

that for the benefit of the spiritual state of Jews in matters of fear of Heaven, it is better that

Russia should be victorious and France should have a defeat.

And in his holy tongue:

If he will conquer in *פ

[Buona-Parte"]

The wealth in Israel will increase and the pride of Israel will be lifted,

But the hearts of Israel will separate and distance themselves from their Father in heaven,

And if, God forbid! Alexander]

If poverty increases in Israel and the glory of Israel is lowered, but the hearts of Israel will bind, connect, and be bound to their Father in heaven*.

The reason for this was,

because France

(and Napoleon at its head)

represented a movement of freedom, heaven forbid, from all matters of religion and faith in the Almighty.

And the husk of the kingdom of France

(Napoleon)

- which was,

the strength of the klipah and the harsh judgment* because of their,

pride and haughtiness to depend and rely on his strength and might etc. to say 'my power and the might of my hand' and removing divine providence and faith and trust in G-d m.*

(For example, the klipah of Sancheriv/ as the Mitteler Rebbe explains" - was not merely a temporary humble etc.,

Only relevant to all times and generations after this,

Why in the chronicles then the French Revolution in the year 5549

(Which as a result thereof, Napoleon became leader of France a few years later)

was also an idea-

Sefer HaSichos - 5752

logical revolution,

a general ?nin that brought with it a fundamental change in the entire world,

and it was one of the main events upon which the foundations of governance of the "modern world" and culture were built,

until this very day:

Before the revolution,

the government of France

(and most of the countries)

were entirely in the hands of the king and queen,

and they led it as they saw fit.

The revolution was based on the idea that people are free to conduct themselves as they wish,

and therefore the king and queen were overthrown to free the country from their rule and government,

and it should be transferred to the public administration which represents all the citizens of the country.

Although even this has the advantage of bringing about physical freedom and justice and righteousness etc.,

and this would have brought freedom and wealth to Jews — however, since it was not founded on the foundation of faith and trust in G‑d — it also brought with it

(and especially through Napoleon)

An approach of freedom in spirituality,

freedom from religious matters,

and casting off the yoke and licentiousness etc.,

which influenced many countries at that time and in the times after this.

And for this reason, the Alter Rebbe opposed with all his might against the kingdom

of France,

and prayed that they should lose the war,

And to such an extent,

Because he did not want to be under their control,

the Alter Rebbe, together with all the members of his household,

(and all his possessions and property)

fled from Lyady

(until then, naturally, as a result thereof, afterwards was the passing of the Alter Rebbe in Kfar Piena on 10 Tevet)

And he promised

(the Mitteler Rebbe)

until an oath"

that Russia will be victorious in the war,

and so it was.

that through this Jews were then saved from the undesirable influence that would have been had France then conquered Russia,

and Jews were thereafter able to continue their service with closeness of their hearts to their Father in Heaven.

and especially - through the revelation of the teachings of Chassidus in that country through our Rabbis, our Nesiim, the successors of the Alter Rebbe.

The Rebbe's ... the novelty that has come especially in our generation in the relationship to the State of France,

by the power and agency of the Rebbe, our master, our teacher, the Rebbe, the Nasi of our generation:

Not looking at the fact that the country was in those times the "strength of the klipa etc.",

and was opposed to

Sares Vayeshev,

21 Kislev,

Mevach Tabach

A matter of conduct according to the fear of nations, and particularly in the way of Chassidus, and who,

And what? In love, the Alter Rebbe was so strongly opposed to her test?

(as above, end of page? / and also in the generations after this" - one sees in actuality,

that the ? in the barn was not so conducive for fear of heaven as,

and also among our Rabbis, our leaders

(who filled his place of the Alter Rebbe)

was never permanent

(כיב)

The revelation of the transformation of Chassidus in Berafta -

Is the aspect that has changed from the Holy One, blessed be He, to the Holy One, blessed be He,

That not only what there has reached the light of holiness

(From another place / only Jews who study Torah

(the revealed aspect of Torah and the inner aspect of Torah)

And those who perform mitzvos with fear of Heaven have settled there for some time,

And especially - through the mission of the Rebbe, our master, teacher, and leader of our generation,

And have engaged there in Torah study and the performance of mitzvos in a beautiful manner,

And we write novel Torah insights, etc.,

from which you others

(in other places)

can learn,

through that which was later published in print, etc.

And especially - after the wider World War,

with Divine Providence there arrived and settled there Jews from various countries,

until it became a place and center of Torah and Judaism,

from the dissemination of Torah and Judaism in general and the dissemination of the wellsprings of Chassidut in particular,

David, whom they have there,

established many institutions of Torah and prayer,

including and especially — the Yeshivah,

Tomchei Tmimim Lubavitch*,

*Vin•,

Achei Tmimim* etc.,

with many branches,

And educational institutions in general on the holy courtyard,

And in addition to that - they print books there,

In the revealed Torah and in the inner dimension of the Torah,

And all this in a manner of Hullin and Musaf and Or.

And the novelty in this matter is understood according to the above: just as this is regarding the service in the entire world,

That from generation to generation Jews arrived in new,

further places in order to perform there the refinement,

because the completeness of the refinement is when one is occupied in that place and,

Hillel in his manners,

One uproots the local customs to add in the service of God.

(Regarding section b)

- So too regarding the work of our Nesi'im in spreading Torah and Judaism and spreading the wellsprings outward,

that in the continuation of the generations, this increased more and more,

until in our generation, the clarification also of the State of Australia came,

that despite its being a very lowly place and the local customs were then a contradiction to matters of fear of Heaven etc.,

(which is why the Alter Rebbe opposed the settlement of Australia/) that Jews in our generation

(In the merit of the Rebbe, our master, teacher, and leader, the prince of our generation,

as follows)

He settled in the country and purified it and mentioned it,

until then, on the contrary - they utilized the local customs

(,

according to the etiquette")

to add in the spreading of Torah and Judaism and the spreading of the teachings of Chassidus.

And it can be said that the power for this

Sefer HaSichos - 5752

It comes from there seen! Where was the order by the Nasi HaDor himself,

K.K. Mediyach Admo"r:

The permanent place of our Rebbes and Nesi'im until K.K. Moreinu veRabeinu Admo"r was in the land of Russia.

Even when they would travel out from that land - which began from the Rebbe Maharish" - it was only in a temporary manner,

with the intention to return.

In our generation's Nasi, a novelty came regarding the previous Nesi'im - that he uprooted his place from the land of Russia.

He settled in other countries.

And in general - during the years of his presidency there were three periods,

of about ten years

(as was spoken once")

: the first period

(5640-5688)

- primarily in Russia,

the second period

(1928-1940)

- in Poland,

and the third period

(1940-1950)

- in the United States.

And based on what was discussed above,

So in every place there must be the enclothing into the customs and characteristics of the place

(.

The way of conduct: / There were changes from place to place in the manner of work of spreading Torah and Judaism and spreading the wellsprings outward,

according to the place where he settled.

Needless to say,

that since in our leader himself there was the enclothing of various modes of work,

from Russia

(the place of his ancestors/ where all our Rebbeim and leaders did their work,

until in the United States,

the lower sphere - gave the strength to undertake

the clarification of all places in the world,

the air in the lowest [place],

the land of France and the like.

And this is the innovation of our generation in relation to the generation of the Alter Rebbe

(and the previous generations in general)

- as we see it explicitly in relation to the land of France:

After the clarification and refinement that was accomplished through the work of disseminating Torah and Judaism and spreading the wellsprings outward over the course of many generations from the Alter Rebbe,

which the work brought about a clarification and refinement of the air throughout the world

(In a manner from top to bottom / and moreover, mainly: As we come closer to the redemption when there will be the completion of the clarification of the entire world - in our generation we received from the Rebbe, my father-in-law, the leader of our generation, a higher power,

to perform the clarification of the air of the land of France.

And more generally - this work began from the Rebbe Maharash,

as is known, that he traveled to France several times and made baalei teshuvah there

(In addition to what he taught there and opened gates in Chassidic teachings / and afterwards further - through the Rebbe

(the Rebbe Rashab)

may his soul rest in peace,

who was there many times,

Until there

(in Menton)

was the.

B'nei of the continuation of TaRaB the well-known"

And he has

Shabbos Parshas Vayeshev,

20th of Kislev,

Mikra'ei HaChodesh Tevet

and 8 and

There is also written a part of the continuation.

And the main and completeness of the clarification - in a manner of establishment and settlement and in an internal manner,

Until in a manner of dissemination - it was accomplished in our generation,

Through the holy hand of our master, teacher, and rabbi, the Nasi of our generation,

Who - in addition to this, that he was in France several times,

and delivered there "Chassidic discourses" and "talks" - he sent there emissaries from his household,

who lived there several years,

And they served their service in the study of the revealed aspect of Torah and the inner aspect of Torah,

and he sent there his chassidic writings and holy letters,

and there several matters were prepared for print"

[As discussed numerous times, the advantage of something in print over a handwritten one,

that it reaches a far greater number of people and is accessible to them,

unlike a manuscript,

which pertains only to select individuals with whom the manuscript resides and who can read it.

And especially when printing a new thing,

What this has in itself a

Purim you will wash in Paris

(Sefer HaSichos research – winter 5752 p. 257 and onward)

Special affection which arouses curiosity in human nature•*]

In addition to many words of Torah that were written there and

(Thereafter)

Go to print,

And in general - there they opened a clarification and purification of the solitary clothing of David,

Walked in manners,

And specifically from fear of Heaven and splendor,

In order to accomplish the clarification in an internal manner,

From within and without,

Which broke through the way and gives the power to break and nullify the strength of the shell.

And the revelation thereof in completeness came out after that his holy honor my master father Rebbe arrived in the United States,

in the southern hemisphere,

and there

(in France)

founded the Tomchei Temimim yeshiva and other institutions,

and appointed and sent emissaries to advise there and build the institutions and disseminate Torah and Judaism in general and the study of Chassidut in particular - as is seen visually,

and especially in recent years,

the great and abundant success in all these activities of spreading Torah and Judaism and the wellsprings outward in the country of France,

and other countries,

In a manner of dehuler and adds and light.

Until in a manner,

that added upon that which the Nasi of our generation gives power to draw down holiness light in the lower [world]

(which this can however be in a manner that the holiness is drawn there specifically from a second place,

the place of the Nasi of our generation)

- gives

82 and

Sefer HaSichos - 5752

He had the power that in this very place, they made a place and source for Torah,

by founding there the Yeshivah Tomchei Temimim,

just as in Lubavitch from the outset■⁴,

as if this becomes self-standing,

and does not need to receive influence from the source,

for it becomes exactly like the essence itself.

In addition to this - they print there

(and they printed also in the past)

Words of Torah,

in the revealed Torah and the Torah of Chassidus,

including — Torah novellae,

And if it is also emphasized, like France, etc., they become a source for matters of Torah for the entire world,

So that others receive from the Torah matters that are printed there,

And they can learn from this “and letters are enlightening,” etc.

And as mentioned above,

The discoveries there now are the actual revelation of the powers which the Rebbe, my father-in-law, the Nasi of our generation, invested there in the years before this⁴³.

Which being the

Nasi of the generation - and the Nasi is everything*⁴ - gives the essential power to all the people of the generation to accomplish the clarification throughout the entire world,

Also in the lowest place.

Until in a manner that in that place the essence itself is revealed,

As above.

And one could say that the

[And in detail - the two matters in the clarification:

Clarification of the lower [realm]

(But in a manner that he remains beneath himx and

Revelation of the essence in the lower,

such that he becomes one thing with the upper]

is also hinted in the word "Tzarfas":

"Tzarfas" is from the language of connection,

What does this mean? The matter of combination, clarification, and refinement,

As it stands regarding the Redemption⁴³ - "Many will be clarified, whitened, and refined."

And the Redemption comes only through the completeness of clarification and refinement of the entire world

(as above, section 1)

And to add

(in the manner of witticism and allusion)

: "Tzarfat" is also in gematria seven hundred and seventy

770/ the completeness of the number seven,

as each one includes ten

(seventy/ and each one includes one hundred

(seven hundred/ and both together

(seven hundred and seventy)

And it can be said that this alludes that in the clarification of the countries,

the clarification of the entire world that was created in the seven days of creation is completed and finished in all details and sub-details.

Furthermore: “770” – is the number of the house here of the Holy [K'vod K'dushas] our master, teacher, and Rebbe, the Nasi of our generation,

where he lived and performed his service in the last ten years of his life in this world in the United States

(the lower hemisphere)

And it can be said that this is

Shabbos parshas Vayeishev, 23 Kislev,

Menunuz Tevet

83v

Alludes to the second

(elevate)

matter in the clarification and refinement

[In addition to the lowest clarification,

but in a manner that he remains a lower relative to the upper]

that this becomes like the essence

(,

770)

Specifically,

the house of our generation’s Nasi,

the source for spreading the wellsprings outward in this time to all ends of the earth.

And one should add,

that the matter is emphasized even more in "Halach Benimusai": one utilizes the qualities of the place itself for advantage - to reveal the essence

(of Atzmus and Mahus)

in that place.

So that it sounds like the place becomes,

independent" in all matters of Torah and Mitzvos

(In the manner of the advantage in the yesh hanivra that he feels like,

his existence from his essence",

Since he takes himself from His essence, blessed be He, that

his existence" is from his essence and is not caused by any prior cause, G-d forbid)

And it can be said that this depends on that: in order to accomplish the clarification of the lowest one,

One must arrive at the power of the essence itself.

From the perspective of the aspect of revelations—where there is a distinction between higher and lower—one can draw down G‑dliness into a place that is a vessel prepared for this; however, with the power of the essence itself,

(which is above higher and lower)

one can refine and purify even a lower place that is not a vessel,

even more—draw down there the essence itself.

And on the other hand: specifically through the lowest place—the essence itself is revealed,

which accomplishes the refinement throughout the entire world.

Based on this, one will also understand: the completion of the refinement of the entire world in the Redemption -,

And saviors will ascend Mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau, and the kingdom will be the L‑rd's" - depends on and is expressed in the refinement within the clothing of exile,

France" - and in the two aforementioned matters:

They - ending the lowest place - becomes through him revealed the conclusion and completion of the refinements of the entire world,

as hinted in his name,

France" from the term tziruf (combination) and berur (refinement).

In the clarification of France

(in gematria,

770'')

Is also hinted at the revelation that gives the power to refine all matters to perfection,

Until in a manner that in every place one draws down the revelation of the essence.

In order to make it even easier for a Jew - there was seen a wonderous thing that openly expressed before the eyes of flesh the refinement and transformation of the G-dly that was accomplished in the country of France.

[And this is also an answer to those who complain why we do not see any open miracles today

(as in the early generations)

Here - in what is stated below - there is an example of a name,

which shows how the claim is not sustained]

It is known and publicized that every country has its special melody,

the,

'melody of the country' similar to the unique flag of each country]

which is sung or played at a formal assembly or event,

or when the citizens of the state gather at certain official events,

and similarly when officials and representatives of the state travel to other countries,

etc.

It is understood,

that the melody

Sefer HaSichos - 5752

The state presents itself as an example of the opinion.

And etc., and here one speaks about the melody of the state of France - as is known,

That the melody was composed during the "revolution".

And in particular, according to the inwardness of matters - it is known that every state

(great)

has her minister above,

and it can be said,

that this is also connected with the melody of the state,

Which was chosen from the state⁵.

A few years ago■⁵ Chassidim began to sing the melody of the state of France — the melody of the revolution — with the words,

Ha'adaret veha'emunah lechai olamim.

Hatehila vehatiferet lechai olamim⁵.

A short time after this - a most wondrous thing happened: the state of France made a change in the melody of the national anthem⁵.

And the reason for this - old Chassidim explain,

that after the melody was transformed into holiness

(as above)

the minister and mazal above of the state of France heard this,

and this caused below the change in the melody,

because of the feeling that this became a melody that belongs within the realm of holiness,

a Chassidic melody,

which is sung at Chassidic gatherings,

and also - at farbrengens in the state of France itself!

In this, one sees clearly the extreme change that has taken place in our generation regarding the generation of the Alter Rebbe:

They took the melody and transformed it into holiness — ,

"Hadras Ve'emunah Lechai Olamim",

and they sing it

(with the same movements)

at Chassidic farbrengens,

where they speak words of inspiration regarding matters of Torah and mitzvos and Chassidus.

To the extent that,

So there are those who do not know at all that this is a melody taken from,

somewhere",

but think that it is originally a Chassidic melody

[Since from time to time new Chassidic melodies are innovated by those who are capable of making a good melody,

and when it is accepted by the public and it is sung in public,

it becomes a part of Chassidic melodies]

Why does one mention about

The rhythm of the melody and the path of his movements

(Because of the honor of the page of the proposal of the leader of France at that time.

And in the year 5740 its new leader changed his face

(the current)

Returned to its previous rhythm.
