From Reb Levik: The Significance of the Number 72

Insights from Toras Reb Levi Yitzchok, a weekly class based on the teachings of Harav Levi Yitzchak Schneerson, chief rabbi of the city of Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine, during the bloody Bolshevik revolution and the subsequent Communist oppression and father of the Rebbe.

The shiur is presented by Rabbi Dovid Dubov, Director of Chabad of Mercer County in Princeton, New Jersey, and author of Yalkut Levi Yitzchok, an anthology of commentaries collected from the works of Harav Levi Yitzchak, of blessed memory.

שופטים ושוטרים תתן לך בכל שעריך (שופטים טז, יח)

שאלות;

א) למה היו בבית דין הגדול בדיוק עא דיינים, והקב״ה עמהם כמ״ש (תהלים פב, א) ״אלקים נצב בעדת אל בקרב אלקים ישפוט״, ביחד מספר עב?

ב) ביאור מ״ש בזהר עה״פ (שיר השירים ד, ז) כלך יפה רעייתי – זה כנסת ישראל, ומום אין בך – אלו הסנהדרין?

ג) למה יהי׳ אפי׳ קס״ד דיש מום בבית דין?

לקוטי לוי יצחק, הערות לזהר שמות – דברים ע׳ רכ ואילך
ילקוט לוי יצחק עה״ת חלק ג סימן קי
