Bechukosai | Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1

Parshas Bechukosai contains a rebuke of seemingly harsh curses which are actually the loftiest Divine blessings in a hidden form; similarly, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, whose yahrzeit is Lag B’Omer, possesses the unique power through the inner dimension of Torah to decode this reality and reveal that hidden good as tangible, physical blessings in this world. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Bechukosai in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1. 📄 PDF of Sicha: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/cba2f565d1.html 📄 PDF of Sicha in English by SIE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NWY2tm8zxWpFvh1keYPL1yES… https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EkFIZdGIOeh1JctxJBAgCcvr… 📖 Buy Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1 at Kehot: https://store.kehotonline.com/mobile/prodinfo.asp?number=… 00:01 – Introduction: Finishing Likkutei Sichos, Chelek Alef, and preparing for the siyum. *Sicha I: Bechukosai and Lag B'Omer* 03:02 – "Im bechukosai teileichu”—"Please walk in My statutes!" 05:00 – Command and promise 09:57 – Mishpatim, Edos, and Chukim—three categories of mitzvos 16:00 – What it means to “walk”—constant growth without limit 20:12 – “Rains in their time”—union of spiritual and physical 24:45 – Likkutei Torah says the rebukes are hidden blessings 33:02 – How could Rashbi reveal the secrets? 38:59 – Pnimiyus HaTorah and Moshiach 43:15 – Rashbi transmitted secrets to his son and students 45:30 – Three places in Tanya that deal with afflictions 1:14:02 – The Ari Zal's student who said "nachem" everyday 1:21:16 – Rashbi’s power to reveal hidden matters through Torah 1:23:13 – "Valley, valley!
