Conversations In Chassidus Episode 16 | Rabbi Yossi Garelik | To Live With a Hemshech
Rabbi Yossi Garelik is the Rov and Mashpia of Anshei Lubavitch, a vibrant Shul and community in Crown Heights.For the past 16 years, Rabbi Garelik has been giving a daily Shiur in Hemshech Ayin-Beis. In this conversation, Rabbi Garelik discusses the history of this famous Hemshech, offering fascinating insight into its background and buildup.Paralleling the progression of Nigleh from Chumash through Rambam, Rabbi Garelik shows how Chassidus as well, from Tanya through Ayin-Beis, progresses in its exploration of Elokus.We also discuss how Avodah and Bitul are inherently embedded into the core of the Haskolo of Chassidus, contrasting the tragic story of "Der Volpa" with that of the conception of Ayin-Beis by the Rebbe Rashab.Music in this podcast is used with the permission of חב"ד מיוזיק and Shmuel Allouche. https://youtu.be/V8uORRQd3iI?si=hP_yakuyQJfSc9DL
