The week after the Rebbe tells a story of how the Alter Rebbe had a nevu'a (prophecy) re Zachariya. Then the Rebbe continues with it and basically it works out the the Rebbe was cleansing the neshama (soul) of Miriam bas Bilga through the sicha he said the previous week...
The above is a very rough description from the back of my memory but I think you get the point.
|
At 4:17 the Rebbe calls her "Bilga bas Miriam." Since we say there is no "plitas peh" (inadvertent, mistaken utterance) by the Rebbe, why do you think he referred to her in this way?

I agree with the first comment. I would be very interested in seeing the follow up. I found this sicha profoundly meaningful. Anyone who thinks the Rebbe was talking only good things about Miriam bas Bilga should listen to it two to three more times. And then look inside themselves. I later asked my Rabbi some questions about this and he reviewed the end of the Masechta with me as well as some of the rest of the sicha. Look deeper at this and you'll learn very very much. The follow up would be very welcome here.

The Talmud relates that Miriam bas Bilga abandoned Judaism, married a gentile Greek
officer and accompanied the Greeks as they stormed the Holy Temple. She then went and
pounded the Holy Altar with her sandal, crying out: “Wolf, wolf! You consume the Jewish
People’s wealth, but you don't answer them in their time of need!” For this latter deed, the
Sages punished her entire family. (7:05) |

“May it be Your will, L-rd our G-d and G-d of our fathers, that the Holy Temple be rebuilt
speedily in our days, and grant us our portion in your Torah.” From the daily prayers.

The Kabbalistic Meditations of prayer are certainly important, but most important is that the
simple meaning of our prayers be fulfilled — beginning with our prayers for Moshiach!

however, offered her a whole new perspective on planning for the future...
