Show Notes

THE WAKE OF LIGHT is the sixth and final Episode of "MY NAME IS LIGHT," a text-based miniseries focused on the Ma’amer Basi L’Gani 5744 (1984). In this concluding segment of this series, we study the last three chapters. It is here that we will reconcile the seemingly glaring inconsistency with the main theme of chapter 14 of the original Ma’amer Basi L’Gani (5710). For more details on this, see below. * After dynamically highlighting several Basi L'Gani themes, the Rebbe goes on to richly illuminate this year's unique teaching about G-d's unchanging creative and animating Lightforce. Then, the Ma'amer begins a journey into terra incognita -- lucidly illustrating what amounts to a startling incongruity in highly disparate Chasidic teachings. In this final Episode, he introduces an elegant reconciliation of both esoteric teachings which are now reframed as interdependent mutually complimentary. Ultimately, the Rebbe reasons, it is not only possible to for these two concepts to co-exist -- but they also actually complete one another! The reconciliation also serves to stir sparks in the sweep of its illuminating new approach. Far beyond compromise, the secret of Light Animation is discovered in the Title Search. Radiant Limitations that would otherwise inhibit [Divine] Light are, in fact transcended by decoding the G-d Given ID to Name the Light! This climatic Episode breaks new ground in its crowning conclusion, as only with spiritual synergy can the creative process be completed. The Ma'amer's end hits high notes on Sparking Redemption and Planting Seeds to energize Exodus -- with the past ordaining the present and our radiant future! This final Episode was sponsored by Jake Hacker & Marla Krybus for the safe release of the Hostages, Amen! _____________________________ * The Ma’amarim of Basi L’Gani, are a collection of more than 40 uniquely themed Chassidic Discourses that were delivered by The Rebbe on, or in proximity to Yud Shvat, the Yartzeit-Hilulah of his predecessor Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneerson, between the years of 5711 and 5748 (1951 – 1988). All these ruminations were directly based on Ma’amer Basi L’Gani, 5710, which was released by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok on the eve of his terrestrial passing. This [original] Ma’amer is widely regarded as the Previous Rebbe’s Last Will and Testament, and our Rebbe used its themes as guiding lights for the unique mission of our Seventh Generation [of Chabad-Lubavitch] Chassidim. Kindred in containing many common concepts or ideas, each discourse incorporates a remarkably wide range of mystical Torah teachings and always radiates with multiple novel, fresh and creative insights. The original rumination contains Twenty Chapters, and for nearly four decades, annually (in orderly successive fashion) the Rebbe would elaborate on themes found in a specific chapter, by delivering one or more Ma’amarim (formal dissertations of original Chassidic Teachings) almost always opening with the Midrashic words “Basi L’Gani.” This year, 5784, we are – once again – focused on Chapter Fourteen. As such, the discourses of 5724 (1964) and 5744 (1984) are studied by the global Chasidic community during the Yud Shvat season.
