English translation — משיחות ש״פ בא (ו׳ שבט) וש״פ בשלח (י״ג שבט) ה׳תשנ״ב

- Regarding the virtue of the women and daughters of Israel, may they live, in our generation -

From the novellae of his holy honor, our master, teacher, and rebbe, the president of our generation,

The baal hahillula of the Tenth of Shevat - his involvement and dedication to act and influence also on Jewish women and girls in matters of Judaism,

Torah and its precepts

(including and especially the teachings of Chassidus¹x and beyond that,

that his activity in this was by emphasizing the unique quality of Jewish women,

that each one of them is the "mainstay of the home",

and in her power and ability to influence all the members of the household,

even the sons and the husband?

And the source for this - as explained in his well-known sichah⁴ regarding the precedence of women over men in essential matters of the entire Jewish people:

In the camp and in the generation - as it is written, "Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob,"

"These are the women,"

And afterwards "Tell the children of Israel,"

"the men."

And in the donation of the Mishkan

("And they shall make Me a sanctuary and I will dwell in their midst"⁷)

As it is written: "And the men came upon the women,"

"For they were there first, and the men attached themselves to them."

And in addition to the chronological precedence,

also

(and primarily)

precedence in content and virtue: at the Giving of the Torah - for they did not desire to give nor did they give their gold for the making of the calf.

(For they did not participate in the sin of the calf, which is the opposite of the Giving of the Torah, and in the donation of the Mishkan" - as it is written: "And all the women who spun the goats' hair")

"This was an exceptional craft, that they would spin it directly off the goats"¹⁵.

And further, now and this is the main point⁴< - their special connection to the Redemption:

Sefer HaSichos - 5752

Our Sages said¹⁵ "In the merit of the righteous women of that generation, the Jews were redeemed from Egypt,"

And likewise regarding the future Redemption to come,

about which it is said "As in the days of your exodus from Egypt, I will show him wonders,"

that it will be in the merit of the righteous women of that generation,

as our Sages said "Generations are redeemed only in the merit of the righteous women that are in the generation."

And particularly according to what is explained in the writings of the Arizal•' that the generation of the future Redemption is a reincarnation of the generation that left Egypt,

And based on this,

The righteous women of our generation, through whose merit we are redeemed,

they are the righteous women through whose merit they left Egypt.

And since this generation is the last generation of the exile and the first generation of the redemption,

as stated by the Rebbe, the Nasi of our generation,

that all aspects of the work have been completed and we stand ready to greet Moshiach our righteous one — the Rebbe, the Nasi of our generation, endeavored and influenced greatly upon the men,

in order to hasten and speed the redemption through the merit of the righteous women of our generation.

And to add,

That the superiority of the Jewish people is emphasized

(Not only in bringing the redemption,

but also and mainly)

In the redemption itself - as known and explained in the books of Kabbalah and Chassidut, that in the future to come the superiority of the sefirah of Malchut will be revealed

(Recipient,

woman)

whose root is above all the sefirot

(Influencer,

Man/ as it is written "A woman shall surround a man",

"A woman of valor is the crown of her husband"".

And it can be said,

that this matter is emphasized also in connection and relation to the day of his hilula - the conclusion and perfection of his service in his living life in this world:

The maamar that the Rebbe, my father-in-law, gave to be learned on the tenth of Shevat 5712

(the day of his hilula/ discourse titled 'I came to my garden, my sister, my bride',

he,

In connection with the yahrtzeit of his mother, his grandmother, the righteous Rebbetzin Mrs. Rivkah, may she rest in peace, may her merit protect us.

(On 10 Shevat / and its continuation in the discourse beginning with "HaYoshevet BaGanim,"

It is in connection with the yahrtzeit of his mother, the righteous Rebbetzin Mrs. Shterna _{Sarah n}"n zi"n"--

(On 13 Shevat)

- In this, the connection and relationship of his yahrtzeit is emphasized.

(The completion and perfection of his work)

with the yahrtzeit of righteous women in Israel

(His grandmother and mother / the wives of the leaders of Israel)

(Admur Maharash and Admur Rashab/

And it is emphasized also at the beginning of the discourse - "I came to My garden, My sister, My bride" ~ the superiority and endearment of Knesset Yisrael

("My sister, My bride")

by the Holy One, blessed be He,

and its parallel within Knesset Yisrael itself,

the superiority and endearment of women,

as is known that the Holy One, blessed be He, and Knesset Yisrael are comparable to a man and a woman.

And likewise in the content of the discourse - "I came to My garden."
