==== In Torah ==== '''Extended topics β Dvar Malchut Va'etchanan, Dvar Malchut Balak, Dvar Malchut Va'era, Dvar Malchut Toldot''' One should add to Torah study in general, both revealed Torah and Chassidut, without limitation (like the revelation of the future when there will be unlimited G-dly revelation) - and particularly in matters of Mashiach and Geulah. Regarding the study of '''halachot''' of the Torah, although the main focus of study should be on halachot relevant to current practical application, nevertheless, a person who lives with Geulah should also study halachot that pertain to the times of Mashiach. The approach to study should be with clear awareness that one is now learning a halacha that will be relevant in the very next moment. Similarly, the study of the laws of the Beit HaMikdash (during the Three Weeks) should be learned with a yearning for Geulah (and not as a rectification for the destruction of exile). Similarly in the study of '''Chassidic teachings''', since "at that time (in the days of Mashiach) the occupation of the entire world will be solely to know Hashem" (Rambam, Laws of Kings, Chapter 11), one should increase at this time in the study of Chassidut - the inner dimension of Torah whose purpose is to "know Hashem." With special emphasis on the manner of study (as in the time of Geulah): A. '''With breadth and in the deep matters''' of Chassidic teachings specifically. Because during exile, the main divine service is the service of emotions to awaken feelings toward G-dliness - "And you shall love... with all your heart." (The main purpose of intellectual study is to awaken the emotions of the heart.) However, in the Geulah there will be "service of the intellect," and therefore, as an example and foretaste of this service, there is emphasis on studying with intellectual breadth and depth specifically. (Similar to the "deep" discourses delivered by the Mitteler Rebbe in a manner of "rechovot hanahar" (broad rivers), and through farbrengens with "attachment of friends and dialectic of students" (Pirkei Avot Chapter 6) which adds (breadth) to understanding). B. '''With comprehension and grasp''', "Chassidut should be understood as one understands a topic in the revealed Torah" to the extent that the G-dly concepts explained in Chassidut become visible to the mind's eye (as emphasized by the Rebbe Rashab in his discourses and in the approach to learning in Yeshivat Tomchei Tmimim). This resembles what will be in the future when G-dliness will be revealed tangibly to created beings, as the verse states: "For they shall all know Me" and also "Your eyes shall see your Teacher." An additional aspect in this is that Chassidut brings the Almighty who is beyond comprehension to a level where knowledge of Him becomes possible (- that even the Essence which is beyond comprehension will shine within comprehension).
