    ? -- Part One of the Rebbe’s Parting Teaching ' , is a Chassidic Discourse which many regard as the Rebbe’s Last Will and Testament. It provides extraordinary clarity of the mystical meanings of Mitzvot, the truest essence of Torah Leadership, defining dimensions of a Soul and the profoundest expressions of its emergence. It outlines the real challenges of our modern era as it poignantly presents us with Marching Orders and boldly lays out the roadmap to Redemption! __________________ Part Eleven features an in-depth textual-based study of the Ma'amer's Eleventh Chapter. Now, we return to connect the previously developed innovative highlights to complete the circle by linking together the lessons already learnt! in the immediate past Episode; the concept of "Katit" (Crushed, e.g. Spirits stirred and shaken) is presented a soulful expression that isn't engendered in response to external pressures or circumstances, but rather as a revelation of the soul itself. This, the Ma'amer's innovates is achieved by unmasking and revealing our core essence. In effect, we discard outer layers of consciousness to release the Neshama’s intrinsic radiance -- Inside Out! In this Episode we further the reach of this Ma'amer's greatest novelty by returning to connect this idea to the opening lessons about the symbiotic connective symbolism of Moshe and Am Yisrael. Freshly illuminating the previously expressed idea of the mutually beneficial relationship Tzadikim, where common-folk enhance the Tzadik's stature connection to Hashem -- we now learn to understand this contribution in a conceptual, rather than literal fashion. Not as a contribution to the individual Moses but instead an enhancement of the soul dimension by the same name.
