  • Chapter 51 the Tanya of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, Elucidated by Rabbi Yosef Wineberg Published and Copyrighted by Kehot Publication Society
    Chapter 51 The Tanya of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, elucidated by Rabbi Yosef Wineberg Published and copyrighted by Kehot Publication Society « Previous Next » Chapter 50 Chapter 52 The title-page of Tanya tells us that the entire work is based upon the verse (Devarim 30:14), “For this thing (the Torah) is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.” And the concluding phrase (“that you may do it”) implies that the ultimate purpose of the entire Torah is the fulfillment of the mitzvot in practice. In order to clarify this, ch. 35 began to explain the purpose of the entire Seder Hishtalshelut (“chain of descent” of spiritual levels from the highest emanation of the Creator down to our physical world), and of man’s serving G‑d. The purpose of both is to bring a revelation of G‑d’s Presence into this lowly world, and to elevate the world spiritually so that it may become a fitting dwelling-place for His Presence. To further explain this, ch. 35 quoted the words of the Yenuka in the Zohar that a Jew should not walk four cubits bareheaded because the Shechinah dwells above his head. This light of the Divine Presence, continues the Zohar, resembles the light of a lamp, where oil and wick are needed for the flame to keep burning. A Jew should therefore be aware, says the Zohar, of the Shechinah above him and keep it supplied with “oil” (good deeds), in order to ensure that the “flame” of the Shechinah keeps its hold on the “wick” (the physical body).

    בס״ד Like the four legs needed to support a table, there are four legs to Hiskashrus: Mivtziom, Shlichus, Farbrengens and writing to the Rebbe. Writing to the Rebbe is the basis and foundation of Hiskashrus. In the days of the Baal Shem Tov, the chevra kadisha would write their names in his siddur so that when he Davened, he would know their names. This was their way of being Mekushar. ן"פ – A Pan Writing a Pan is giving yourself to the Rebbe. Before a Chossid went into Yechidus, the biggest preparation was writing. How do we enter the stage of writing a Pan? When Reb Yoel Kahn was 12 or 13 years old, he asked his Mashpia how to write a Pan. His Mashpia started telling him ''ano leorrer…" but was unable to continue. He began to cry and cry. Reb Yoel asked him again and a third time, but each time the mashpia would picture himself in Yechidus, and would become so overcome with emotion that he could not manage to get the words out. Reb Yoel eventually saw that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of his mashpia, so he asked someone else in the yeshiva who told him which words he should write. Reb Yoel later said, "This person taught me what to write. But my mashpia taught me how to write." means "pidyon nefesh," redeeming the soul.
