CHABAD ‫ב"ה‬ RESEARCH UNIT he Rebbe's Discourses T Summaries of points from the Rebbe’s Chassidic Discourses ‫בלי אחריות כלל וכלל‬ ‫פרשת נשא תשכ''ה ד''ה נשא את ראש בלתי מוגה‬ Published for Shabbat Sedra Naso 9 Sivan 5784, 15 June 20241 LEARNING FROM THE LEVITES HERE WERE THREE GROUPS OF LEVITES, KEHOT, T GERSHON AND MERARI. As stated in Ani Maamin9 ‘I await [Moshiach’s] coming every day’, and when the Jewish people repent, ‘at once they will be redeemed’10, and Repentance, Teshuvah, can take place in one moment, in one instant…11 Torah teachings are holy – please treat these pages with care 9 The popular phrasing of no. Chabad Research Unit – www.chabadresearch.net – cru@lubavitchuk.com important, as will be seen; but it does not reach Keter as do Torah study and Mitzvot, and therefore the Torah does not use the words ‘lift up their heads’ concerning the Merari Levites. The discourse adds that in fact, the ultimate goal is not the highly spiritual intimacy of the Divine Soul with G-d expressed by Kehot, but the channelling and transformation of the Animal Soul and of the physical body, the service of Merari. 8 The Kabbalah explains that in the higher world of Tohu, Chaos, there was ‘the breaking of the vessels’, causing displaced spiritual energy to become the source of the Kelippot, shells, which act as the force of evil. The Kabbalah explains that in certain respects the Animal Soul, from the World of Tohu (Chaos), has more power than the Divine Soul, which is from the lower world of Tikkun (Repair)8. A verse in Zacharia6 ‘I will give you the power to move among these who are stationary’ is applied to the three groups of Levites: Kehot and Gershon move, but Merari is stationary. But Merari’s transport of the heavy wooden beams is only with the waggons; the Merari Levites do not personally carry the beams (they just manoeuvre them onto the waggons). We thus see how the service of the three clans of Levites expresses the service of the individual coming close to the Divine, in three stages: Merari, Gershon, Kehot. The wooden beams which Merari carry on their wagons are described as ‘cedar wood beams, standing’7, and ‘standing’ can mean both standing upright and standing still.
