History changing

BH

Reb Yossi, I just watched your Yud Tes Kislev Farbrengen, it was fantastic. Thank you.

You mentioned the idea that Adam ate a fig and that changed history. I know this is basic Chassidus and I should be ashamed to ask.. BUT, but I am trying to wrap my head around this idea and how this can pertain to people throughout history who were not the "first human being".

Is it not a bit grand to say that there is a purpose not just in man in general or in general concurrences which play vital roles in history, but in the individual deed/destiny of each and every individual? An extreme example: R"L a airplane with 200 people goes down, to say that each individual is fulfilling his particular destiny and accomplishing his souls purpose by getting on to that flight... and to say that throughout history, the individual struggles and accomplishments of millions of people, were all, history changing events- comparable on some level to Adam eating from the tree..

Any thoughts or Mareh Mikomos would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

  See Sahnderin 37-38, how we are compared to Adam.
  
  See Sichas shabbos Vayigash 5729, the lessons of the spaceship mission to orbit the moon and the explanation for 39 lashes.
  
  See Likkutei Sichos vol. 30 Vayishlach the sicha about gid hanaseh -- this is the novel idea of the Baal Shem tov in the meaning of Hashgacha Peratis.
  
  See Sichas Erev Shavuos 5745 about how each detail reflects the entire kelal.

Amos

Rabbi,

In the Farbrengen you quote Amos Chapter 11. Its a good thing there were no Episcopalians in the crowd because they would have screamed that there are only 9 Chapters in Amos.
