If There Was One Thing You Can Give Your Child, What Would It Be? What Our Generation Needs MostThis text-based class is the ninth and last one in a series on the Maamar (discourse) Basi Legani, presented by the Lubavitcher Rebbe at the Farbrengen of 10 Shvat 5726, January 31, 1966. This class was presented on Thursday, 4 Shevat, 5786, January 22, 2026, Parshas Bo, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. The class presents a summation of the Basi Legani 5726 discourse, finding the secret treasure given by the King to His soldiers so they can triumph in the final battle.  We explore how bliss is the glue of creation, and the underlying heartbeat and soul of all existence. The deepest, most essential Divine bliss and pleasure, inaccessible because it is essentially beyond any grasp and definition, is shared with us. We discuss the meaning of the Garden, the snake, and the Tree of Knowledge; how the Baal Shem Tov came to heal the world and our people from the profound sense of anxiety, shame, and guilt that paralyzes us emotionally, and how we can recognize the "snake" inside of us, and lean in to love being communicated every moment, even when feel alone and detached.   View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9856

Can You Trust the Core of Your Child? It’s In the Distance when I Discover Who I Really AmThis text-based class is the seventh in a series on the Maamar (discourse) Basi Legani, presented by the Lubavitcher Rebbe at the Farbrengen of 10 Shvat 5726, January 31, 1966. This class was presented on Monday, 1 Shevat, 5786, January 19, 2026, Parshas Bo, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. In this class, we explore the parable of the Baal Shem Tov to explain why the Torah is basically a bunch of stories, of the prince who lost all connection with his father, the king. It was the wise minister who changed his clothes and language, connecting to the inner world of the prince, that allowed him to rediscover who he really is. We studied the teaching of the Maggid, why Moshe spoke of a three-day journey in the desert, to align the Torah of thought and speech with action.

Why the Words “I Want” Can Be Sacred: What So Many Couples and Parents Don't Grasp About DesireThis text-based class is the fourth in a series on the Maamar (discourse) Basi Legani, presented by the Lubavitcher Rebbe at the Farbrengen of 10 Shvat 5726, January 31, 1966. This class was presented on Monday, 23 Teves, 5786, January 12, 2026, Parshas Vaera, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. In this class, we discuss the two levels of "Makif" as they are expressed in a person's will. There is the conscious will affecting the entire body, and there is the unconscious will that we can't experience in our consciousness, only in "forgetting," channeling that which is beyond will, that which is rooted in the inaccessible essence. We explain the difference between Naaseh and Nishma, and why a leader who pursues leadership is disqualified. We also discuss how the mind, seeking control, calls anything it can't control "random," but really it is anything but that. View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9844
