Pharaoh’s decree to drown the boys and the girls live is seen in our day as well. The Haggadah’s identification of "Amalenu" as “the children” teaches that toil is inherent to parenting. In a time of spiritual emergency, the model of Yehoshua ben Gamla teaches that preserving Torah demands mesiras nefesh from everyone, setting aside honor and comfort to educate the next generation. The Alter Rebbe teaches that by exerting ourselves in Torah study, we exchange the suffering of exile for spiritual labor. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Shmos in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

The Jewish people displayed immense courage by keeping the Egyptian deity (a sheep) in their homes for four days, teaching us that redemption comes from performing Mitzvos with pride and without fear. The difference between the letters Hey (Matzah) and Ches (Chametz) illustrates how humility allows for teshuvah. The Frierdiker Rebbe’s unique approach was characterized by "going big" in actuality and prioritizing material aid to others as a necessary vessel for spiritual influence, rather than starting with rebuke. Amidst the confusion at the Red Sea, Nachshon ben Aminadav taught us to ignore the debates of competing factions and move decisively toward the goal even if it requires self-sacrifice. Biographical stories about the Frierdiker Rebbe, including his grandfather’s prediction at his bris, receiving a "Chassidic kiss" (a Maamar) from his father, and being designated as a successor at age 17. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Bo in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

The Haftarah of Parshas Beshalach is the Song of Devorah (a woman) because women suffered more deeply under Pharaoh's decree against children, and therefore their joy in the redemption was greater than that of the men. Unlike Pharaoh, who stood between the Jews and their past (Egypt), Amalek stood between the Jews and their future (Torah), teaching us that while we rely on God to handle physical threats, we must fight with every ounce of our own strength against apathy or anything that cools our excitement for holiness. The "New Year for Trees" reminds us that true growth is defined by our ability to produce "fruits"—students and influence—that actually reveal their potential in the world. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Beshalach in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

The purpose of Matan Torah is to bring holiness into everyday life, so that ordinary activities are not separate from serving Hashem. What is considered “hidden” or “revealed” Torah depends on the needs of the generation, and in our time the teachings of Chassidus must be openly learned. Our generation’s main spiritual challenge is excess ego, and Chassidus is the remedy that breaks down that excess. Physical health and material success are not rewards for spirituality, but tools meant to give a person the strength to serve Hashem with joy. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Yisro in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

The laws of watchmen describe how different animal drives can cause a person to lose touch with their G-dly soul, with the sheep’s pull toward social conformity emerging as the most subtle and dangerous challenge. Because Hashem lends each person their abilities out of essential love, no spiritual failure or lack of standing ever removes the obligation to learn Chassidus. A free loan reveals a glimpse of the infinite within the finite, since lending to another is considered lending to Hashem Himself, whose repayment is enduring and without limit. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Mishpatim in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.
