Nosato Lirei'echo 5736 נתת ליראיך תשל"ו part 1/5 (Intro, Se'if 1-2)

This שיעור begins with a lengthy introduction to the מאמר's history, specifically connecting it with the miracle of the Entebbe raid that happened the week that this מאמר was said. (We also delve into the history of how מאמרים מלוקט began.) The מאמר begins with the פסוק of "נתת ליראיך", and how this פסוק is referring to the עבודה of נסיונות that demands מסירות נפש, which comes from the יחידה of the נשמה.

Continuing to explain the theme of rain vs. dew in תורה, the רבי explains how rain is a reference to נגלה, while dew refers to פנימיות התורה. While the main גילוי of טל תורה is only when משיח comes (connected to the dew of תחיית המתים), we already received it by מתן תורה, including the ability to understand it, just like נגלה! This explains why the dew is referred to as "גשם (נדבות)" - to emphasize that חסידות should be learned with the same understanding as נגלה is. This is what we received by מתן תורה, as is highlighted by משה רבינו, דוד המלך and the בעל שם טוב - the three צדיקים connected to שבועות, as the רבי makes a חידוש that also משה רבינו's הילולא was on שבועות!

In this מאמר of שבועות, the רבי explains the concept of the "dew" of תורה that was used to revive the אידן by מתן תורה, and, based on the fundamental teaching of the בעל שם טוב, we experience anew on שבועות every year. It begins with understanding the difference between the concepts of rain - Hashem being משפיע to us reciprocally - and dew - Hashem giving us irrelevant of how we are.

Finishing the מאמר, the רבי explains the connection between ל"ג בעומר and "עד הגל הזה": The whole point of the barriers of סדר השתלשלות is for the איד through his עבודה (through the גילוי of פנימיות התורה beginning on ל"ג בעומר) to break those barriers, thus showing the true intent and reality of the צמצום. That explains the connection between ל"ג בעומר and "גל עיני": Not just for חסידות to be revealed, but for it to be revealed from the parameters of the תחתון - because that is the truth of what the תחתון really is!

The רבי continues to show the theme of the מאמר - the "עליונים" being expressed from the "תחתונים" - within the כונות of מצות, as well as in Davening: No matter how high the כונת המצוה is in חסידות and קבלה, the ultimate goal is to show it from the simplest parts of תורה, as well as in the simplest כונות. This is also why the צמח צדק talks about the importance of simplicity in Davening ("אני מתפלל לדעת זה התינוק") specifically in the מאמר that discusses the deepest כונות.
