In a Chassidic discourse distinguished by its tone and rhythm, the Rebbe draws parallels between the Exodus from Egypt, and the journey of the soul. Just like there were many stages to the Exodus, in which as each boundary was breached another needed to be overcome, our lives are very much the same.

The fifth Chabad Rebbe’s Chasidic discourses from the year 5672 to 5676 (1912–1915) are renowned to Chasidim as ‘Hemshech Ayin Beis – The 5672 Series.’
