CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] – Lawyers representing both the old and new Vaad’s appeared in court yesterday, and each left with the feeling that they were victorious. In arguments the judge dismissed the initial action attempting to bar the elections from taking place altogether, saying it was moot since the elections have already taken place. But the judge ordered a hearing on an action contesting the “legality and validity” if the entire election process.

The Rebbe says:

1. In this week’s Torah portion the Sotah (a woman suspected of adultery) is discussed. A Sotah is a woman who was alone with another man other than her husband after her husband zealously warned her saying, “Do not be alone with so-and-so”.

2. Our Sages tell us that, “A person does not commit a transgression unless a spirit of foolishness enters him”. They bring a proof to this adage from a verse in this week’s Torah portion regarding the Sotah which reads, “Any man whose wife shall go astray (Sisteh)”. Our Sages explain that the word “Sisteh”, literally meaning, “shall go astray”, can also be read, “Sishteh”, meaning, “acted foolishly”, therefore they learn that, “A person does not commit a transgression unless a spirit of foolishness enters him”.

3. The Rebbe questions this, as an opportunity to begin explaining a deeper dimension of the Sotah:
