Already thirty days before Yud Shvat, the hum of Chassidim poring over the Basi Legani Maamar can be heard. This seminal maamar was originally printed by the Previous Rebbe to be learned on the Tenth of Shevat in honor of his grandmother’s passing. Ultimately, this auspicious day became the yahrtzeit of the Frierdiker Rebbe, making this sacred maamar the encapsulation of his life-work and his parting words to his Chassidim.
The Rebbe encouraged Chassidim to commit this maamar to heart as a source of nourishment for their neshamos and connection to their source. This discourse brims with insight about our human connection to Hashem, the power of our actions, and our purpose in this world. To complement the learning of the powerful messages that Basi Legani contains, Sichos in English has been working tirelessly to create Lessons in Basi Legani, in the acclaimed Lessons format, for studiers worldwide.
Lessons in Basi Legani presents the practical life-work of the Frierdiker Rebbe in a learner friendly and aesthetically pleasing format. The cover gives a hint to the ever-relevant content it is encasing. The discourse is explicitly explained allowing beginners and beyond to heed the Rebbe’s directive of committing the Frierdiker Rebbe’s parting message to heart.
In correspondence with a shliach in 5705, the Rebbe highlights the importance of contributing to the dissemination of Chassidus specifically via enabling their printing. “My revered father-in-law, the Rebbe Shlita, writes in a letter, “The Tzemach Tzedek states: ‘A word spoken is public knowledge; in writing, it is for the entire world, and in print, it is for generations after generations.’” Fortunate is the person whose efforts enable the words of the Torah to be recorded in print, for this is “for generation after generation.” In particular, this applies with regard to Pnimiyus HaTorah, for… in the era of Mashiach, this will constitute (the primary element of) Torah study.”
