Vayelech | Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2

The presence of both the engraved Tablets and the written Torah scroll in the Holy of Holies illustrates how the transcendent, beyond-logic self-nullification of Rosh Hashanah bridges into our daily, rational lives to draw spiritual blessings down into tangible, material reality. The words Teshuvah (return to one’s core essence), Tefillah (connection and attachment), and Tzedakah (justice as Hashem's entrusted custodian) simply cannot be translated as repentance, prayer, and charity. Every individual must balance active material contribution (the Kohen Gadol's golden vestments) with pure, unpretentious inward devotion (the simple white linen) to enter their own internal Holy of Holies. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Vayelech in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2. 📄 PDF of Sicha: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/6f462168f6.html 📄 PDF of Sicha in English by SIE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t0TNt30bI29Bs-TBuaXEd6Xh… 📖 Buy Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2 at Kehot: https://store.kehotonline.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HRE-LS2 0:00 – Welcome and introduction *Sicha I: The Torah Scroll in the Holy of Holies* 2:55 – Was the Torah scroll placed inside the Ark or beside it? 4:23 – Engraved letters and written letters 5:03 – The Holy of Holies transcends space and time 12:48 – Connecting transcendence with worldly reality 14:07 – Self-effacement on Rosh Hashanah and throughout the year 18:50 – The unity of the Jewish people in Parshas Nitzavim 22:20 – Drawing revealed blessings into material life *Sicha II: Teshuvah, Tefillah, and Tzedakah* 27:54 – The three pillars of the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah 31:24 – Teshuvah: returning to one’s true self 36:17 – Tefillah: attachment to Hashem 40:46 – Tzedakah: justice rather than generosity 45:08 – Supporting Torah institutions and drawing down divine blessing *Sicha III: Entering the Inner Holy of Holies* 48:35 – The progression from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur 50:56 – The Kohen Gadol’s golden and white garments 53:09 – The eternal Sanctuary within every Jewish soul 56:05 – When gold must give way to simplicity 1:03:06 – The shofar’s simple and sincere cry 1:06:14 – Balancing material involvement with spiritual detachment 1:10:36 – Integrating the golden and white garments 1:13:37 – Entering the Holy of Holies within 1:15:13 – The Kohen Gadol’s short prayer for Klal Yisrael --- *For more classes from Rabbi Shais Taub:* 🌐 *Website:* https://www.soulwords.org/ *Follow Rabbi Shais Taub:* 📸 *Instagram:* https://www.instagram.com/rabbi_shais_taub 🎥 *TikTok:* https://www.tiktok.com/@rabbi_shais_taub 🐦 *X (Twitter):* https://www.x.com/ShaisTaub 📘 *Facebook:* https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573478244968 💼 *LinkedIn:* https://www.linkedin.com/in/shais-taub-81a95466/ 🎧 *Listen to the SoulWords Podcast:* 🎵 *Spotify:* https://open.spotify.com/show/51E7XHWFDbZCGJQz7CoAZP 🍏 *Apple Podcasts:* https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/soulwords-full-libr… *About SoulWords:* SoulWords is a virtual community hosted by Rabbi Shais Taub, where people come together to explore the spiritual insights of Torah and discover their unique purpose.
