Torah
A thought for every day of the Hebrew year, from the Rebbe’s book. It is the same entry every year, on the same Hebrew date.
10 Elul 5786
Great elders of the Alter Rebbe's chassidim used to say that yechidus (private audience with the Rebbe) means: "clear," "designated," "united." The sources of these three interpretations are in Shekalim 6:2, Yevamot 62a, and Bereishit Raba 20.
This means that the idea of yechidus is:
To clarify one's own status;
To designate a mode of avoda for him in "turn(ing) away from evil" and in the acquisition of fine character traits;
And that he should bind himself[1] in total oneness, and utterly dedicate himself1 with all his desires.
Compiled and arranged by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, in 5703 (1943) from the talks and letters of the sixth Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory.
To the Rebbe.

גדולי זקני חסידי רבינו הזקן היו אומרים, אשר "יחידות" פירושו: קלאר, אפגעשטעלט, פאראיינציגט - מקור ג' פירושים אלו הוא בדרז"ל [בדברי רבותינו זכרונם לברכה]: שקלים פ"ו [פרק ו'] מ"ב [משנה ב'], יבמות ס"ב. א, בראשית רבה פ"ך [פרק כ'] - זאת אומרת כי ענין היחידות הוא לברר את מצבו, ולקבוע אופן עבודתו בסור מרע ולקרב את המדות הטובות, ולהתקשר בהתאחדות גמורה ולמסור עצמו, איבערגעבען זיך מיט אלע רצונות.
