(הֶמְשֵׁךְ שִׂיחָה הַנִּזְכָּר לְעֵיל)
In the above-mentioned talk, the Rebbe Rashab continued:
בְּרֵאשִׁית אִיז אַ פרֵיילִיכעֶ סִדְרָה
“Bereishis is a happy parshah,
אֲפִלּוּ דער סוֹף אִיז נִיט גאָר אַזוֹי געֶשׁמאַק
even though its conclusion is not so pleasant.
נֹחַ אִיז דעֶר מַבּוּל
Noach is [the parshah of] the Flood,
אָבּעֶר אַ פרֵיילִיכעֶר סוֹף וואָךְ
but the end of the week is cheerful:
געֶבּאָרעֶן געֶוואָרעֶן אַבְרָהָם אָבִינוּ
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
And this mesirus nefesh
האָט אַבְרָהָם אָבִינוּ אִיבּעֶרגעֶגעֶבּעֶן בִּיְרוּשָׁה
our Patriarch Avraham bequeathed as an inheritance
צוּ אַלעֶ אִידעֶן
to all Jews.”
