Why Is the Torah One Long Story? Why Do We Never Get Bored of the Stories?This text-based class is the sixth in a series on the Maamar (discourse) Basi Legani, presented by the Lubavitcher Rebbe at the Farbrengen of 10 Shvat 5726, January 31, 1966. This class was presented on Friday, 27 Teves, 5786, January 16, 2026, Parshas Vaera, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. The class explores the secrets behind the stories of Torah and how they contain more depth, so to speak, even than the laws of the Torah. We discuss the 3,000 parables of King Solomon, and why we all love and are enthralled by stories.View Source Sheets: https://portal.theyeshiva.net/api/source-sheets/9846
