Likkutei Sichos: Ki Seitzei

August 18, 2026 • 104 mins
Engaging in the spiritual battle to refine the animal soul guarantees divine assistance and enables one to transform worldly energy into spiritual gain. Constructing a ma'akeh (guardrail) is an independent mitzvah requiring a blessing, teaching that whenever one embarks on a new endeavor or a new year, higher spiritual safeguards are required. While the literal eradication of Amalek awaits the Messianic era, every individual is obl...

Likkutei Sichos: Shoftim

August 11, 2026 • 67 mins
The month of Elul is a “city of refuge” in time—a period of honest self-examination and teshuvah, in which each person is given the opportunity to redirect his life-force toward holiness by taking refuge in Torah study. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Shoftim in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2. 📄 PDF of Sicha: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/fcec90a... 📄 PDF of Sicha in English by SIE: https://dr...

Likkutei Sichos: Re'eh

August 4, 2026 • 83 mins
The signs of a kosher animal—split hooves and chewing the cud—represent the spiritual balance and continual self-examination necessary to elevate one’s involvement with the physical world. The King’s accessibility in Elul is not permission to remain comfortably “in the field,” but an invitation and empowerment to improve. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Re'eh in Likkutei Sicho...

His Father’s Shoes—20 Av Farbrengen

August 3, 2026 • 124 mins
In accordance with the Rebbe’s request that gatherings be held on his father’s yahrzeit to study his teachings, this Chof Av farbrengen explores the life and Torah of Harav Levi Yitzchok Schneerson—from his heroic leadership under Soviet persecution to newly revealed documents surrounding a 1937 show trial. At its center is a remarkable letter thanking his son, the Rebbe, for a pair of shoes, which becomes a profo...

Likkutei Sichos: Va'eschanan

July 21, 2026 • 105 mins
The cities of refuge teach that Torah provides a clear path to safety and that every Jew must become a living signpost, actively guiding others toward Torah even when the results of those efforts remain unseen. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Va'eschanan in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2. 📄 PDF of Sicha: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/d27b235... 📄 PDF of Sicha in English by SIE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1...

Likkutei Sichos: Devarim

July 14, 2026 • 92 mins
Just as Parshas Devarim marks the Jewish people's descent from the miraculous existence of the wilderness into ordinary life in the Land, Shabbos Chazon teaches that every descent into physicality is ultimately for the sake of a greater ascent and a more permanent dwelling place for Hashem. The extraordinary joy of Shabbos Chazon reflects the hidden reality that the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash is itself part of the process th...

The 42 wilderness journeys represent the continuous human obligation to treat yesterday's spiritual plateaus as today's limitations and to constantly move forward, whether climbing to higher spiritual rungs or breaking out of a low state with a single step.This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Matos-Masei in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2. 📄 PDF of Sicha: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/08c4f08... 📄 PDF of Sicha in Eng...

Likkutei Sichos: Pinchas

June 29, 2026 • 101 mins
Sometimes leadership remains silent because a particular individual is destined to step forward and do something great, as Pinchas did. Moments of spiritual crisis demand that we leave our comfort zones and speak heartfelt words that awaken another Jew's soul without endless calculations, just as Pinchas acted without waiting for explicit sanction from the court. Just as each tribe received its portion of Eretz Yisroel randomly by ...

Likkutei Sichos: Balak

June 22, 2026 • 64 mins
The crouching stance of the lion in Bilaam's prophecy demonstrates that even when subjected to the physical constraints of exile, the Jewish people maintain an untamed, independent spiritual nature that is periodically reinforced by unmistakable, nature-shattering miracles. The deceptive spiritual authority claimed by the negative forces of Bilaam and Amalek is completely neutralized when a person internalizes a parallel matrix of ...

Likkutei Sichos: Chukas

The three wilderness miracles correspond to three modes of spiritual influence—internalized growth, transcendent empowerment, and accessible transmission—and teach that every Jew carries a spark of Moshe, empowering us to take responsibility for the spiritual wellbeing of others.

Likkutei Sichos: Korach

The priestly gifts teach that holiness must receive the first and finest portions of our lives, and when we dedicate our best time, energy, and resources to Hashem rather than our leftovers, we create a vessel for both spiritual and material blessing.

Likkutei Sichos: Shlach

June 9, 2026 • 89 mins
True Jewish leadership, exemplified by Moshe and Yehoshua, means embracing and uplifting every Jew, even when doing so requires self-sacrifice. Tzitzis must be attached to a tallis because while the tzitzis represent the individual mitzvos, the tallis represents their transcendent source, teaching that we cannot fully grasp the true nature of the mitzvos and must therefore observe them in a way that transcends logic, thereby elicit...

Likkutei Sichos: Behaaloscha

The Menorah reflects both the diversity and unity of the Jewish people—many distinct paths joined in a single mission to radiate divine light and revealed love into the world. From the laws of the Menorah we learn that every Jew has a role in igniting the flame of other Jews, but the method must remain faithful to the Rebbe’s directive and rooted in the highest standards of Pnimiyus HaTorah.

The Sotah serves as the archetype for understanding the soul’s relationship with Hashem: even when there is distance or straying, the bond itself remains unbroken, and through teshuvah the rupture can become the source of even deeper connection.

Likkutei Sichos: Shavuos

May 19, 2026 • 133 mins
True oneness is achieved not by avoiding multiplicity, but by harmonizing seemingly opposite forces under a single, divine reality. Torah study possesses an intrinsic, boundless value that transcends practical application, serving as the ultimate unifier between a Jew and the Creator. Shavuos is a propitious time to establish unwavering resolutions in daily study cycles, specifically through the tracking of Chumash, Tehillim, and T...

Likkutei Sichos: Bamidbar

May 12, 2026 • 127 mins
Counting reveals the paradox that in holiness, quantity itself leads to quality. Even in a spiritual wilderness, we are meant to live a fully holy life—especially in the home and in the earliest stages of a child’s education. True Jewish unity means uniting around Torah and mitzvos. Ahavas Yisrael is described on three levels—by the Baal Shem Tov, the Maggid, and the Alter Rebbe—each revealing a deeper way t...

Shmita teaches us that Torah is not about escaping the physical world, but sanctifying it so completely that even our engagement with nature becomes an act of transcendence. Har Sinai shows us that true greatness requires the paradox of standing tall with absolute confidence while remaining completely humble before Hashem.
