CHABAD ‫ב"ה‬ RESEARCH UNIT Summaries of points from the Rebbe’s Chassidic Discourses ‫בלי אחריות כלל וכלל‬ ‫ד"ה אז ישיר – פ' חוקת תשמ"ג בלתי מוגה‬ Published for Shabbat Sedra Chukat 9 Tammuz 5785, 5 July 20251 THE PATH OF THE SOUL THE SEDRA INCLUDES THE ‘SONG OF THE WELL’, PRAISING HASHEM FOR THE WELL which gave the Jewish people water in the wilderness. Chabad Research Unit – www.chabadresearch.net – cru@lubavitchuk.com which is formed by G-d, like the Soul above, while the ‘well’ is dug by human beings, and thus this term refers to the Soul in this world where it is actively engaged in its own special service of the Divine. The Rebbe explains that this movement upwards of the Soul is an expression of the service of the emotions, awaking love and awe in one’s heart in service of Hashem [and love is also the basis of one’s observance of the positive commandments, and awe the basis of keeping the negative commandments.] Ultimately there will also be a higher level of service, described in the verse as ‘trickling from the Lebanon’. The text of the Song of the Well in our Sedra speaks of ‘Princes digging the well’, and this refers to our efforts to remove different levels of negativity in our own being, and then we come to true ‘living waters’. Then, after the service of the emotions, will come the service of the Mind, as the Rambam states that in the time of Moshiach people will ‘understand the Mind of their Creator’ [which we cannot imagine now]. ‘Then Israel sang this Song..’Rise up o well..’2 The Rebbe comments that this song must have a teaching for us, especially since the Talmud tells us this text was regularly included in the Temple service3. Because the process of the journey of the Soul is a ‘descent in order to rise’, and the eventual rising brings the Soul higher than its original point, when it was termed a ‘fountain of the gardens’. In constructing a physical well, one has to dig away the earth and stones so as to reach the living waters below, which have been purified by their passage through the rocks and soil of the ground. Then the Torah which one studies is also in the right mode of reverence, as if one can hear the Divine Voice at Sinai, for ‘when anyone studies Torah today, Hashem is studying with them’6.
