The Deeper Meaning of Tears (English & French)

WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES:

The gematria (numerical value) of the Hebrew word “dimah” (tears) is 119 + the word itself = 120, a full life. This teaches that tears have a greater positive purpose, which is repentance from sin. Repentance will restore the world to its original condition of eternal life, which was temporarily removed due to sin.
(The Rebbe gave this talk on the anniversary of his father’s passing, on 20 Menachem Av, 5742 / August 9, 19’82.)
