Standing as One, Taking Your Own Measure

Sicha of the Rebbe · ש״פ נצבים, כ״ז אלול, ה׳תש״י · Likkutei Sichos, vol. 2, pp. 398–405

Read on the Shabbos before Rosh Hashanah. You cannot decide to stop ranking people — so the sicha gives the scale something too large to weigh.

A bilingual study edition of one sicha in nine sections. Unity as mutual completion rather than tolerance; Arachin — which values a person by his years and not his merits — as the argument against ranking anyone, oneself included; and the Tzemach Tzedek setting down his tallis before Shemoneh Esrei to lend five silver rubles, decades after the Alter Rebbe's passing, and seeing him. English elucidation against the edited Yiddish of Likkutei Sichos and the Hebrew witness of Toras Menachem.

The method
Bold is translation of the words themselves; lighter italic is editorial elucidation. Every citation carries a status — verified against the cited source, or reproduced as the printing gives it and said to be so. Nothing is asserted at a confidence level higher than it was checked at.
