Tazria | Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1

Description

Nissan represents a mode of serving Hashem that draws down the infinite beyond nature, where joy and divine choice override the limits of cause and effect. The Jewish soul is essentially bound to Hashem Himself, and expresses that bond by transforming the world through mitzvos in a way that brings lasting redemption. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Tazria in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1. 📄 PDF of Sicha: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/f086726342.html 📄 PDF of Sicha in English by SIE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pwlqtKeoM-QGRnxhqVRbTmsWytTnp6Oi/view?usp=drive_link 📖 Buy Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1 at Kehot: https://store.kehotonline.com/mobile/prodinfo.asp?number=HRE-LS1 00:00 – Introduction: Why Tazria and Metzora are split into two livestreams despite being joined this year *Sicha I: Nissan vs. Tishrei—Two Directions, Two Models* 02:05 – Male and female in spiritual terms 07:27 – Simcha breaks all boundaries, allowing one to transcend limitations 19:35 – Bavli vs. Yerushalmi: serving Hashem within nature vs. beyond nature 28:31 – Lasting transformation comes from self-initiated effort, not sudden inspiration 40:24 – Yetzias Mitzrayim required Nissan—the level of miracles beyond nature 50:55 – Choosing connects to essence more deeply than creation 59:32 – “Anochi Hashem… who took you out of Egypt” reveals connection to the Infinite 01:02:40 – The debate between Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Yehoshua: is redemption dependent on teshuvah? *Sicha II: The Essence of the Jewish Soul* 01:23:58 – Ohr HaChayim: how the Jewish people’s mitzvos bring a permanent redemption 01:28:52 – Why the Jewish people are called “Isha” in relation to Hashem 01:34:00 – The soul desires only Hashem Himself, not spiritual rewards 01:39:26 – Deep understanding must lead to practical action 01:44:40 – True strength is conquering concealment and remaining unmoved by opposition --- *For more classes from Rabbi Shais Taub:* 🌐 *Website:* https://www.soulwords.org/ *Follow Rabbi Shais Taub:* 📸 *Instagram:* https://www.instagram.com/rabbi_shais_taub 🎥 *TikTok:* https://www.tiktok.com/@rabbi_shais_taub 🐦 *X (Twitter):* https://www.x.com/ShaisTaub 📘 *Facebook:* https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573478244968 💼 *LinkedIn:* https://www.linkedin.com/in/shais-taub-81a95466/ 🎧 *Listen to the SoulWords Podcast:* 🎵 *Spotify:* https://open.spotify.com/show/51E7XHWFDbZCGJQz7CoAZP 🍏 *Apple Podcasts:* https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/soulwords-full-library/id1450892501 *About SoulWords:* SoulWords is a virtual community hosted by Rabbi Shais Taub, where people come together to explore the spiritual insights of Torah and discover their unique purpose.
