Likkutei Sichos Vol. 34 Tavo 1

The Rebbe looks at two stages of Bikkurim: the gratitude that begins as soon as the Jewish people enter Israel, and the fuller gratitude that comes only after they’ve conquered, divided and settled the land. We see the same two stages every morning — the immediate thank you of Modeh Ani, before we’ve even had time to think, and the deeper gratitude that develops through davening and reflection. From there comes a powerful model for emunah itself: it starts from something already planted inside us, and then grows as we understand it, think about it and make it part of the way we live.

Likkutei Sichos 29 Seitzei 3.

Why doesn’t Hashem reward every mitzvah immediately? The Rebbe uses this question to uncover a much deeper idea: we are not simply working for Hashem and waiting to be paid. We are partners in building the world He wants. In this class, we explore what that partnership means, why material blessing matters, and how it changes the way we understand reward, purpose, and our role in the world.

Likkutei Sichos Vol. 29 Shoftim 3.

What happens when someone’s behaviour gives us every reason to see them negatively? In this class, we explore a surprising law of the Sanhedrin and the Rebbe’s deeper message: what we see in a person may be true, but it may still not be the whole truth. Torah teaches that even when the good in someone is completely hidden, it is still there — and the way we see and speak about a person can help bring that good back to the surface.
