  "created" new teachings.
  Thank you for your shiurim.
  
  
  
  U mentioned and used  the expression the Alter Rebbe "invented" "created" new teachings.
  
  -Can you explain the  word 'create' in the Chassidus  context.?
  
  -Are they not teachings taught (mekabel) from their teachers or some where else?
  
  -As u mentioned there are (too) few teachings which we can see came from the Maggid or BaalShemTov and developed by the Rebbeim. (In the Mishna Gemahra Tulmudic  model we see clearly  the development & discussion and they are vaiidated  via logic,)  but in Chassidus it appears it can only be validated by the "soul"  and we are not so finely attuned ...?

    Re: The word 'create' in the Chassidus context.
    The point you make is well taken, but there are levels in people. The Zohar also is Kabbalah and yet it’s the ‘chidushim’ of RaShbI. See for example the 19^th letter in Tanya.

  Thank you Rabbi Paltiel.
  
  I can understand how bitterness can bring a person to a brighter light later but it’s difficult for me to get why a broken vessel has some preferences in front of just empty one. How a broken vessel, that represents mitzvahs, may achieve greater heights than its brother empty vessel that embody mitzvah as well? If the condition would be changed, and we would be told that both vessel were not kosher from the very beginning then according to Halacha a vessel that was contaminated and was broken can be redeemed by putting all its pieces together in a wholesome way.  In this case it may have sense if we put cracked pot in front of pot that is empty but contaminated.  So do we take into consideration that both vessels were not kosher from the first place, or as you said “are not perfect”?

    Re: B"H
    The two versions of the Ma’amar are separate. If you follow the version where the vessel is empty, then the vessels represent Mitzvos; however, if you follow the version that they represent broken vessels, this is not linked to Mitzvos but (as our Rebbe explains in his commentary on this Ma’amar) it represents a Teshuva. A Teshuva which is about being broken.
