(הֶמְשֵׁךְ שִׂיחָה הַנִּזְכָּר לְעֵיל)
In the above-mentioned talk, the Rebbe Rashab continued:
בְּרֵאשִׁית אִיז אַ פרֵיילִיכעֶ סִדְרָה, אֲפִלּוּ דער סוֹף אִיז נִיט גאָר אַזוֹי געֶשׁמאַק
“Bereishis is a happy parshah, even though its conclusion is not so pleasant.
נֹחַ אִיז דעֶר מַבּוּל, אָבּעֶר אַ פרֵיילִיכעֶר סוֹף וואָךְ — געֶבּאָרעֶן געֶוואָרעֶן אַבְרָהָם אָבִינוּ
Noach is [the parshah of] the Flood, but the end of the week is cheerful: our Patriarch Avraham is born.
דִי אֱמֶת פרֵיילִיכעֶ וואָךְ אִיז פָּרָשַׁת לֶךְ לְךָ
“The really joyful week is Lech Lecha,
אַלעֶ טעֶג פוּן דעֶר וואָךְ לעֶבּט מעֶן מִיט אַבְרָהָם אָבִינוּ
for throughout that entire week we live with Avraham,
דעֶר עֶרשׁטעֶר וועֶלכעֶר האָט זִיך מוֹסֵר נֶפֶשׁ געֶוועֶן
who was the first to utterly devote his life
אוֹיף מְפַרְסֵם זַיין ג-טלִיכקַייט אוֹיף דעֶר וועֶלט
to proclaiming G‑d’s existence in the world.
אוּן זַיין מְסִירַת נֶפֶשׁ האָט אַבְרָהָם אָבִינוּ אִיבּעֶרגעֶגעֶבּעֶן בִּיְרוּשָׁה צוּ אַלעֶ אִידעֶן
And this mesirus nefesh he bequeathed as an inheritance to all Jews.”
