요약While much work has been done on the history and thought of Ḥabad Hasidism, there has been insufficient attention paid to the interconnectedness of the two areas, particularly as it relates to the seventh Ḥabad rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Much scholarship on Schneerson's thought does not adequately apprehend the subtle nuances of his philosophy, sufficing with analyzing his overt declarations without excavating the structures and patterns of his thinking. To greater regret, works that deal with the history and sociology of Ḥabad under R. Menachem Mendel's influence often focus almost exclusively on the political aspects of his undertakings, paying little attention to his scholarship altogether. The present dissertation seeks to provide a methodology for rectifying this lacuna, by identifying the central component of Ḥabad identity and society, as well as the primary facet of the function and definition of a Ḥabad master, namely the ma'amar or discourse.The Ḥabad discourse is distinctive in its content, as well as in the ceremony that accompanies its delivery. Its draws on Kabbalistic ideas, interpreted through the constructs of Ḥabad thought. It is conceived of as the "wellsprings of the Baal Shem Tov," meaning that it is supposed to promulgate and explicate the teachings and concepts conveyed by the Besht. From the second generation of Ḥabad and on, the discourse has also represented a development of ideas of the preceding rebbes. These concepts are explicit in the Bosi legani discourses discussed in this dissertation. Each of these discourses cites teachings from all the Ḥabad masters by name. Additionally, the notion of disseminating the wellsprings of the Besht is a recurring theme throughout this series. The ceremony of its oration includes a number of practices such as the singing of a preparatory melody and of listening to it while standing that constitute an awareness of hearing the "words of the Living G-d" as they emerge from the mouth of the rebbe.I propose a concept called "midrashic intertextuality" as a method to understand how the discourse works and assess the metamessages it conveys. This approach interprets intertextuality as the variety of forms and "tones" the interaction between texts can take. By appreciating the relationship of Midrash to the Biblical texts it interprets, the relationship between the various texts within the Ḥabad corpus may be similarly understood, as well as that between the various rebbes who authored the texts. Thus, a new dimension of the inner lives of the rebbes, as well as of their adherents, comes into view, and enriches our insight into their society and life choices.
