The five books of Torah are the blueprint for creation. Each Torah portion presents one dimension of the vast eternal plan. The Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory, in his talks revealed the theme of each portion. Presented here is a class on one of these talks.
The Torah instructs us to know G-d’s unity: “The L-rd is G-d in the heaven above and upon the earth below there is none else.” What is the nature of G-d’s unity?
The Shabbat following Tisha B’Av is called Shabbat Nachamu due to the opening words of the haftorah: Be comforted, be comforted my people; why the double expression?
The Torah commands us: You shall love the L-rd your G-d with all your heart. How can we be expected to feel a love for Him if the feeling is not embedded in our heart?
