== The Connection of the Tractate to Redemption == | |||
Approaching the year 5752 (1992), following the intensive focus on redemption and Moshiach, a proposal was made that the yeshiva tractate for that year should be one dealing with the laws of the Beis HaMikdash (for example: Sanhedrin, Zevachim, etc.), different from the regular order of tractates studied in Chabad yeshivas. However, the administration of the central Tomchei Tmimim Yeshiva did not respond to the tmimim's request and decided to keep the order as it was, so that they would study tractate Bava Batra as planned that year. The tmimim sent a letter to the Rebbe, but the Rebbe left the administration's decision unchanged. However, on the following Shabbos, the Rebbe connected Bava Batra to redemption in a talk, and the yeshiva students understood from this that the message from the Rebbe was that if one wants, in every tractate and every topic one can find the connection to redemption. | Approaching the year 5752 (1992), following the intensive focus on redemption and Moshiach, a proposal was made that the yeshiva tractate for that year should be one dealing with the laws of the Beis HaMikdash (for example: Sanhedrin, Zevachim, etc.), different from the regular order of tractates studied in Chabad yeshivas.
