Dr. Levin discussed Yaakov’s marriage and his journey through Eretz Israel. He explained the miracle of Hashem folding the entire land of Israel into a small space for Yaakov to lay upon, as described in the Gemara and Rashi. He also discussed the different interpretations of this event, including the idea that Hashem was hinting at the ease of conquest for Yaakov’s children.
Dr. Levin also discussed the significance of the month of Kislev in Hasidic culture, emphasizing its connection to the redemption of the Alter Rebbe and the personal redemption of the second Lubavitcher Rebbe. He also explained the concept of the soul (Neshama) having different levels of expression, with the highest level, Yechida, being unconfined by the physical body and thus immune to any negative impact from a person’s actions.
