    is parshas vaera saying shema is ahava rabah as opposed to ahavas olam- and here he is saying ahvas olam is shema?

    ועתיד הקב''ה להנחיל לכל צדיק ש''י עולמות בחי' יש וכמ''ש להנחיל אוהבי יש. שע''י כמה צמצומים וירידות והשתלשלות המדרגות יומשך שיתגלה החסד עליון והאהבה העליונה בבחי' יש כדי שיוכלו הנשמות לקבל ולהיות נהנים מזיו כו'. וזהו שאמר לעולמו די הוא בחי' הצמצום שעי''ז וארא אל אברהם כו' להיות גלוי האהבה העליונה שהיא העיקרית. וע''ז נאמר ואהבת את ה' אלקיך ואהבת הוא פועל יוצא. וכן לאהבה את ה' ולא כתיב לאהוב כו' כי העיקר הוא להמשיך האהבה העליונה בק''ש. והוא מ''ש אהבתי אתכם אמר ה' ואהבה זו תהיה בכל לבבך בתוך כל לבבך בשני יצריך. שגם היצה''ר ישוב לאהבת ה' כי בהמשיך עליו האהבה העליונה ממילא לבו המס ימס כהמס דונג כו'. ויהיה לאכפייא כו'. וזה נמשך בק''ש כי מפסוקי דזמרה עד ק''ש צ''ל האהבה שממטה למעלה אבל בק''ש צ''ל המשכת האהבה העליונה: אך הנה כל זה הוא בגלוי המשכת המדות אהוי''ר שהוא יחוד הוי' באלקים כשכבר נמשך בבחי' אלקים. אבל ושמי הוי' דהיינו בבחי' הוי' לבדו קודם שבא לידי גלוי ההמשכה במדות שהוא מקור ושרש כל ההויות ומקור החיים כו' לא נודעתי להם שאינו בא לידי גילוי בנפש מחמת אתערותא דלתתא רק מפני כי אשר קדשנו במצותיו

    The Rebbe told your father a"H that its a "new day"

    After a night together. A "Neyye Togg".

    At that time didn't your father start a new Jewish newspaper, the Algemeiner?

    Could this have been a pun with a double meaning that it was not only a new day as the dawn was breaking, but also your father was starting a new "Togg Morning Journall"?

    Can you elaborate a little about...

    Gd's desire to have a place here to live in the world with us? He wants to live here with us now? The way we are now with our faults or weaknesses, etc. ? In the future when we change/become better? And why? What will HE get out of it? HE has everything. How will HE benefit? I have some feelings about it, but maybe you can say in words what I'm feeling.

    Off point questions

    In last week's parsha Yakov finally is reunited with Yosef after 22 years, much doubt and grief. It doesn't seem that he ever asks Yosef how he got to be prime Minister of Mitzrayim! He was sent to check up on his brothers, who returned with a blood stained garment. 

     Yakiv never appears to ask how this transformation occurred! 

    Also, with the placing of money and the goblet in the sacks, Yosef was doing what is called in common parlance "framing someone". The Avos including Yosef kept the Torah even before Har Sinai. How could Yosef resort to such fraudulent framing and trickery?
