The Lubavitcher Rebbe made a cryptic statement about the month of Nissan days before his passing, hinting at its hidden greatness.

This episode is the first in a series on a maamar by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, part of the Daily Maamar podcast that has been running for 25 years. Rabbi Perlstein hosts the shiur, which is text-based with English translation and explanation. The episode focuses on Shabbos Parshat Tzav and Shabbos HaGodol, specifically on the 12th of Nissan in the year 5726 according to the Jewish calendar. It starts by introducing the maamar with the phrase 'Pasek HaChedesh HaZel Lachem Rish Hadashim Rishenu Lachem Lachot Shehashonot,' meaning 'this month shall be for you the beginning of months.' Rabbi Perlstein explains that this is the month of Nissan, which is considered the first month. He notes that the Lubavitcher Rebbe made a statement about Nissan days before his passing, which at the time was 100 years ago and now equates to 160 years. The Rebbe's timing is highlighted as disruptive, as he would speak right before major holidays like Passover, Sukkot, and Rosh Hashanah, not allowing normal preparations. This emphasizes the urgency and importance of the message. The episode delves into the greatness of Nissan, referred to as 'Goydal Mayles Chedesh Nisn,' and states that Nissan is the head of months. The shiur is structured around exploring this concept in depth, linking it to Torah teachings and Chassidic thought. It serves as an entry point for listeners new to the series, providing historical and spiritual context. The format is educational, with Rabbi Perlstein guiding through the text and its implications. Recurring themes include the significance of Nissan, the Rebbe's teachings, and the interplay between time and spirituality. Key moments include the introduction of the maamar, the discussion of the Rebbe's statement, and the explanation of Nissan's role. The episode aims to deepen understanding of Chassidus and its application to Jewish life.
