Likkutei Sichos: Volume 14
Likkutei Sichos: Vaeschanan 1, Chelek 14 — Hadran on Maseches Shabbos
The Rebbe's hadran on Maseches Shabbos (Shabbos Parshas Shlach 5722), printed in Likkutei Sichos vol. 14, Vaeschanan. Why the Mishnah ends with plugging, measuring, and tying, the Rambam's two categories of rabbinic prohibitions, and the Chassidic meaning of the sequence.
Likkutei Sichos: Shoftim 1, Chelek 14
Likkutei Sichos vol. 14, Shoftim 1, on "Tamim tihyeh im Hashem Elokecha": Rashi versus Ramban on the meaning of tamim, whether it continues the prohibition of sorcery, its reward, and how every word of Rashi fits — with notes the Rebbe wrote by hand on this sicha.
Likkutei Sichos: Re'eh 1, Chelek 14
A Likkutei Sichos class on Parshas Re'eh examining why Rashi offers two explanations for the word 'chazak,' and Ben Azai's teaching on going beyond the letter of the law in fulfilling mitzvos.
Likkutei Sichos: Ki Savo 1, Chelek 14
A Likkutei Sichos class on Parshas Ki Savo exploring why the first-fruits declaration cites only two specific acts of divine kindness, and the kabbalistic symbolism of bikkurim as an elevation of the soul.
Likkutei Sichos: Nitzavim 2, Chelek 14
A Likkutei Sichos class on Parshas Nitzavim examining Rashi's teaching that Canaanites converted in Moshe's time, and whether the usual marriage restrictions on converts from that nation still apply.
Likkutei Sichos: Rosh Hashanah, Chelek 14
Working through this sicha's proof that the two days of Rosh Hashanah form one single “long day,” the class develops why the day is called the “beginning of Your actions” for the entire creation, not just Adam, tracing it back to Hashem's inexplicable desire for a dwelling place in the lowest world. From there it takes up the Rambam's twofold description of shofar as both a decree beyond all reason and a hint toward teshuvah, arriving at the practical case of a year when Rosh Hashanah falls on Shabbos: with no shofar blown on day one, the second day's shofar proves that avodah is indispensable even when Heaven has already accomplished everything on its own.
