A translation and explanation of the Rebbe’s classic maamar BeYom Ashtei-Asor Yom delivered on Yud-Alef Nissan, 5731. In that maamar, he cited a teaching of the Midrash that focuses on the Aramaic phrase, Ana nasiv malka – “I will choose the king.” In doing so, he put into words a fundamental approach with which he had been nurturing his chassidim for the more than two decades of his leadership.
