Chaos And Repair

Shelach | Numbers

This discourse was delivered by the Rebbe on Shabbat Parshat Shelach, 5726 (1966). When the Spies gave their negative report, Calev silenced the crowd 'to Moses', saying that whatever Moses commanded they would do, even climbing ladders to heaven. The discourse explains this through the Chassidic concepts of Tohu and Tikkun: the Spies represented the intense but uncontrolled light of Chaos, while Calev's complete submission to Moses expressed the stable vessels of Tikkun.
