    Understanding the Parsha according to the Rebbe ‫ממ "ש‬


    QUESTION: The relationship of man and wife symbolizes the relationship between G-d and the Jews. Then, this
    relationship of an estranged wife and seclusion also alludes to the relationship between G-d and
    the Jews. When can a Jew be secluded from G-d?
    ANSWER: One becomes secluded from G-d, when one’s pride separates. But one can always obtain G-d’s
    forgiveness by becoming one with Torah. Through bitul one becomes pure, able to resume his relationship
    with G-d, ending the seclusion. Indeed, one reaches a higher level than existed before the separation.
    (1032 '‫ עמ‬,‫)לקוטי שיחות כרך ד‬

    QUESTION: Why did the Jews spend 40 years specifically in the uninhabited desert (they could have spent the
    years of the decree in an inhabited area)?
    ANSWER: The Jews spent 40 years in the desert (and not in the city) in order to turn the desert (a place without
    rules) into an inhabitable place. Such a place without rules is a place where the bad influences and
    tendencies “run wild”. Thus, no Jew can despair in their current circumstances, since the Jewish nation
    already lived in a place devoid of holiness, and yet made that place into holiness. Also, every Jew has the
    ability to turn their personal desert into a place of holiness (16 '‫ עמ‬,‫)לקוטי שיחות כרך יג‬

    QUESTION: Why was the Nasi of Efraim allowed to bring his korban on Shabbos (individual could not bring a
    korban on Shabbos, only the congregation)?
    ANSWER: One opinion is that the Korbanos of the Nasiim were a special exceptional ruling for that time that
    allowed the korban to be brought on Shabbos. Another opinion was that the korban of the Nasi (representing
    an entire tribe) was an offering of a congregation and therefore within the laws of Shabbos to be brought.
    Thus, the korban was not a violation of Shabbos but a fulfillment of its laws. Efraim was able to offer on
    Shabbos as a reward for the Shmiras Shabbos of Yosef (above the physical world); the reward was
    according to one’s method in fulfilling the laws. (42 '‫ עמ‬,‫)לקוטי שיחות כרך כג‬

    QUESTION: What is the advantage of the Bircas HaCohanim over all the previous blessings (including those
    given to the Avos for the sake of the children)?
    ANSWER: These blessings add to the earlier blessings that one should be blessed beyond the natural order, but
    within one’s current possessions. In addition these blessings will be revealed so that others to see the
    physical fulfillment of the blessings. Further, the Mitzvah of Bircas Cohanim applies to all times and places,
    indicating that the blessings apply to everyone in whatever spiritual state. (50 '‫ עמ‬,‫)לקוטי שיחות כרך לג‬

    QUESTION: Vidui, a part of the Teshuvah, is counted among the 613 Mitzvos. Why is Teshuvah itself not
    counted as one of the 613 Mitzvos?
    ANSWER: 1) Teshuvah is not a mitzvah; or
    2) It is a general mitzvah without an action; or
    3) It is a specific mitzvah, but of the heart.
    Complete Teshuvah comes from the essence of the soul, and can not be commanded; yet must be in a way to
    bring a person to action (18 '‫ עמ‬,‫)לקוטי שיחות כרך לח‬
