Class Summary:

This is a text-based class by Rabbi YY Jacobson on Likkutei Sichos vol. 29 Shabbos Chazon, exploring the famous metaphor of Reb Levi Yitzchak of Barditchov about Shabbos Chazon, on the father who shows his child the exquisite garment, and Hashem who shows the Jews the third Beis Hamikdash. 

The class was presented on Monday, Parshas Va'eschanan, 6 Av, 5780, July 27, 2020, streaming live from Rabbi Jacobson's home in Monsey, NY

    We must not seek elsewhere but merely look inside

    And shed  layers.  Like blowing away the  dust from an engraved stone. Like the luchos.  And not ink on parchment.

    Notice that we may wear anything but if we wear a four cornered

    Garment it must have tsistsis which constantly remind us. Yet wearing such a  garment is itself optional. 

    Notice also that the Cohanim had to have an exact configuration of garments tho they were his size. Not one item could be lacking from those garments.

    Our avodah is like a litvish, a garment

    How does this Square with the  fact that after the chait aitz harass, Hashem first gave livushim to Adam and Chava?
