חמשה קנינים ה’תשי”ב1 The first of two Ma’amarim by the same name. The first accentuates Torah, the second Yisroel. Kinyan is Atzilus. As it changes nothing from before Atzilus, it is only גילוי ההעלם. There are three ideas of Kinyan discussed: A. אצילות is Hashem’s Kinyan naturally. B. The elevation and correction of what is imperfect in the world and the raising it up until אמילות is the second Kinyan. C. The return of what needed correction back into אצילות and higher until עקודים. Five ideas of correction and uplifting are discussed here: תורה, אברהם, ישראל, שמים וארץ, בית המקדש. But Torah is unique in that it does all the three things listed above: A. it precedes the worlds and as such is perfect, B. It comes down to the extent that it needs correction C. It raises back up to much higher than אצילות. This is also linked to methods of Kinyan, משיכה כסף.
