Metzora | Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1
Description
True faith is a mode of perception that reveals Hashem as completely beyond nature, allowing even "negative" occurrences to be seen as purposeful, miraculous messages of hidden good. Hashem deliberately leaves aspects of creation and our personal lives incomplete to teach us that true resolution—both personal and national—comes through bitachon rather than human effort. Anyone with any measure of influence is called upon to ensure that every Jew they can reach is provided with round, handmade Shmura Matzah to bolster their faith and health for the entire year. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Metzora in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1. 📄 PDF of Sicha: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/31db564acd.html 📄 PDF of Sicha in English by SIE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MRgGqnRCbUzQqAcmFuMa8YOxFIHrpnWh/view?usp=drive_link 📖 Buy Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1 at Kehot: https://store.kehotonline.com/mobile/prodinfo.asp?number=HRE-LS1 00:00 – Introduction: The double parsha of Tazria-Metzora and learning about Shabbos Hagadol after Pesach *Sicha I: Metzora and the True Nature of Emunah* 03:36 – The Previous Rebbe avoided saying the name “Metzora” 05:25 – Connection between Parshas Metzora and Nissan, the time of redemption 06:10 – Emunah is not merely a logical conclusion that there is a Creator 15:16 – Recognizing miracles even within what appears to be nature 21:01 – Free choice remains because even miracles can be explained away 25:15 – In the merit of emunah, the Jews transcended the limits of Mitzrayim 29:40 – Tzaraas as a hidden good: a miraculous warning from above *Sicha II: The Unfinished North* 35:49 – Why the northern side of the world was left “open” 38:37 – Hashem leaves creation incomplete to reveal uniquely divine power 41:16 – Unfinished areas in life: effort vs. strengthening bitachon 44:11 – Redemption comes through reliance on Hashem, not human strategy 45:06 – The “closed mem”: Hashem sealing off the sources of evil in the future *Sicha III: Distributing Shmura Matza* 49:50 – The obligations and customs of the month of Nissan 51:44 – The custom of distributing shmura matzah 54:35 – The Rebbe’s call to reinstate this practice 55:46 – Ensuring every Jew has handmade shmura matzah 58:20 – Matzah as the food of faith and the food of healing --- *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.
