This class was presented on Thursday, 16 Teves, 5785, January 16, 2025, Parshas Shemos, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.
This is the first class in a series on the discourse Basi Legani by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, presented at the Farbrengen of 10 Shevat 5725 (1965). This class explores the purpose of creation, how we revolutionize the world, what it takes to win the war against falsehood and darkness, and how the King splurges the most profound secrets and treasures to win the battle.&nbsp;
We tell the story of the Rebbe explaining the game of chess to world chess champion Sam Reshevsky and how the Alter Rebbe assuaged the ire of Reb Pinchas of Koritz for spreading Chassidus. Why did the Vilna Gaon oppose Chassidus? What was the reason for the Baal Shem Tov revealing Chassidus?

This class was presented on Friday, 17 Teves, 5785, January 17, 2025, Parshas Shemos, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.
This is the second class in a series on the discourse Basi Legani by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, presented at the Farbrengen of 10 Shevat 5725 (1965). This class explores the meaning of the words in the Zohar, &ldquo;The infinite light extends downward to no limit and upward to no end,&rdquo; as teaching us three distinct ideas about the Divine light creating the universe: 1. The expression of the Divine is infinite like its source. The infinite oneness is manifested and expressed in the lowest places of existence. 3. The infinite light is manifested even in the most profound darkness and concealment.
We discuss the secret of Tzimtzum and the metaphor of the Black Hole. We also explain the difference between the Rambam and Aristotle and why surrendering control is the key to all growth. The class discusses the purpose of creation as articulated by the Alter Rebbe, and why we must not be afraid of the darkness and concealment in our lives.
