אַאַמוּ"ר אָמַר
My revered father, the Rebbe [Rashab], once stated:
חֲסִידוּת אִיז נָעוּץ תְּחִלָּתָן בְּסוֹפָן וְסוֹפָן בִּתְחִלָּתָן
“[To] Chassidus [can be applied the statement], ‘The beginning is rooted in the end and the end in the beginning.’
דִי דַּרְגָא פוּן עִגּוּלִים מִבְּלִי אֲשֶׁר יִמָּצֵא רֹאשׁ וְסוֹף
This is the level of Divine influence called iggulim, in which beginning and end are indistinguishable.
אָבּעֶר אַחַר כָּל זֶה אִיז דעֶר עִקָּר אִיז סֵדֶר.
Nevertheless, this having been said, the main thing is seder — ‘structure.’
דעֶר בַּעַל שֵׁם טוֹב אִיז געֶוועֶן אַ מְסוּדָּר
“The Baal Shem Tov was an organized person;
דעֶר מעֶזרִיטשׁעֶר האָט מְדַקְדֵּק געֶוועֶן אוֹיף סֵדֶר
the Maggid of Mezritch was particular about orderliness;
אוּן דעֶר עֶלטעֶר זֵיידעֶ — רַבֵּנוּ הַזָּקֵן — האָט געֶלעֶרעֶנט חֲסִידִים זֵיי זאָלעֶן זַיין מְסוּדָּרִים
and my great-great-grandfather, the Alter Rebbe, taught his chassidim to be orderly.
דאָס זעֶהט מעֶן אִין זַיינעֶ מַאֲמָרִים, בְּרִיף, נִגּוּנִים
We see this in his maamarim, letters, and niggunim.
דִי חֲסִידִים וואָס האָבּעֶן געֶהאַט אַ זְמַן קָבוּעַ אוֹיף קוּמעֶן אִין לִיאָזנאָ — דעֶרנאָך אִין לִיאַדִי
The chassidim who had a fixed time to visit Liozna — or later, Liadi
האָבּעֶן נִיט געֶהאַט קֵיין רְשׁוּת בַּייטעֶן דעֶם זְמַן אָן אַ רִשָּׁיוֹן פוּן רֶבִּי'ן
were not allowed to change it without permission from the Alter Rebbe.
אוֹיף בּאַקוּמעֶן אַ רִשָּׁיוֹן האָט מעֶן געֶדאַרפט זאָגעֶן אַ טעַם
To receive such license, one had to provide a reason.
בּאַם רֶבִּי'ן אִיז געֶוועֶן אַ וַעַד מְיוּחָד אוֹיף פִיהרעֶן סֵדֶר הַחֲסִידִים
“The Alter Rebbe established a special committee, to maintain order among the chassidim.
וּבְרֹאשׁוֹ מַהַרִי"ל אֲחִי רַבֵּנוּ
headed by his brother, R. Yehudah Leib,
אוּן אַ בּאַזוּנדעֶר וַעַד אוֹיף אָנפִירעֶן מִיט חֲסִידִישׁעֶ יוּנגעֶלַייט
And he had a separate committee, to guide the younger married men of the community,
וּבְרֹאשׁוֹ אַדְמוּ"ר הָאֶמְצָעִי
headed by the Mitteler Rebbe."
