last few minutes of shiur
just an idea came to mind

as u explained the difference between Rochovom and Yerovom

corruption of Yehuda (bitul) and corruption Yosef (growth)

to some extend Tzar Alexandr (Russia) is more like Rochovom and Napoleon is more like Yerovom

Alter Rebbe supported Russia while other Chasidim of Mazriche Maggid supported Napoleon

let me know what u think

a summary:
Like a cedar tree tall and strong
My life is an expression of my song
Constant growth higher ever still
Expressing my passion my deep inner will
All of my talents all of my dreams
Form the walls made of tall cedar beams
My sanctuary a place for Hashem to rest
Built on drawing out from in my best
Yet some days are bleak my passion does wane
Sometimes I must push through darkness and pain
And that is when the yoke of heaven I bear
Mistakenly translated by many as fear
In reality an awareness, there’s a mission at hand
And that is when from myself I demand
Subservience to the goal to the values I know true
The core of my being what makes me a Jew.
And even when I am strong growing taller than tall
I must stay controlled lest I tumble and fall,
And self-actualization self-worship does become
As we have seen with our king Yeravum.
Yet there is a goal even higher than full expression of me
On that great awesome day when all will see
That I can be all of me and not be at all
Like a limb to a mind heeding a call
I perform with passion mighty and strong
No longer as a singer but as an instrument of song
The building built from this place is one that will endure
Strong steady stones silent and secure
Two kings become one in unity at last
Disparity and dispersion a thing of the past
Hashem is one and that oneness will be no longer be concealed
May we speedily merit seeing it revealed.
