Editing Yeshaya HaLevi Horowitz - The Shelah Hakodesh (section)

The Shelah writes (13:1): "One who is unable to learn should recite the names of the Chumashim and Parshiyos, books of Tanach and Masechtos of Shas." However, Chabad Chassidus achieved - says the Rebbe - that we don't suffice with merely saying letters, in the manner of invoking names, but rather there needs to be a "wonderful unity" between the intellect of the simplest person and the deepest secrets of Torah. — Farbrengen of 19 Kislev 5716, Toras Menachem Vol. 15 p. 269.

In the Rebbe's sichos, many foundational concepts about the weekly Parshiyos are mentioned. One of them is that even the name of a Parshah is precise. "The festivals throughout the year are all connected to the Parshiyos that fall during them." "Adam" comes from the term "Adameh L'Elyon" (I will be similar to the Most High). "The Torah speaks of the higher realms and hints at the lower realms," and more.

Since the Rebbe began his path and unique approach in explaining Rashi (in 5725), he based it on the words of the Shelah - that in Rashi's commentary on the Torah there are "wondrous matters." This concept is mentioned repeatedly in the sichos.
