This discourse was delivered by the Rebbe on Shabbat Parshat Shemot, 5725 (1965). The Sedra opens with 'And these are the names of the children of Israel', and Rashi compares the Jewish people to the stars which G-d both counts and calls by name. The discourse focuses on the concepts of 'name' and 'number' with respect to the individual Jew, exploring how a star both influences the world below and yet is nullified in its source above.
