Tanya - 24 Elul 5786

The next year, Yud Zayin, is the Igeres HaKodesh.

Now, you should know like this, the Igeres HaKodesh was arranged-- what I'm about to tell you, I didn't see.

It's just something which it seems to me.

The Igeres HaKodesh was prepared by Bnei Yagon HaMachaber, by the Mitteler Rebbe.

And Mitteler Rebbe was no-- he wasn't a publisher.

You know what I'm saying? [laughs] The Mitteler Rebbe was the Mitteler Rebbe.

Uh, b'meile, when the Mitteler Rebbe prepared the Igeres HaKodesh, there's a lot of diyuk in it.

And the Rebbe many times would say that there's a lot of diyuk in the Igeres HaKodesh.

For example, he made Lamed-Beis igris.

There's thirty-two letters in Igeres HaKodesh.

But the truth is, there's actually a Lamed-Daled igris.

There's two igris.

The end of Yud Tes, and the end of Chaf Beis, we shouldn't have a number.

'Cause after Rebbe, upon him, the Mitteler Rebbe wanted to have lev.

So 1st of all, the Emes is this Lamed-Daled igris.

Two numbers he skipped.

And a lot of the yukim, the seder of the igris, because th-they're not in chronological order.

The seder of the Igeres HaKodesh is not based on any explicable order.

You know, but so-- In all kinds of-- It, it's hard to favor up a diyuk what the seder is, but it's certainly not time-based.

'Cause we know now from the igris, some later igris were written much earlier, some early igris were written much later, and so on.

Here you have a very obvious kesher.

One of the things the Rebbe said at the end of the previous Igeres HaKodesh was the inyan that tzedakah, that even though there's no schar from it, it's ne'ema zeh, right? Uh, tzedakah has a schar, ne'ema zeh, because it's the table of briyis.

The next Igeres HaKodesh talks about the same point.

The next Igeres HaKodesh goes basically on this Mishnah.

[reading foreign language] That's what the next Igeres HaKodesh is on.

So it's so obvious that whoever was mesader it, the Mitteler Rebbe wanted to put Yud Zayin after Teth Zayin, 'cause what, what Teth Zayin finishes what Yud Zayin speaks about.

Okay? So let's begin.
