חמשה קנינים ה’תשי”ב2 This Ma’amar places נשמות ישראל above all else including Torah. He discusses at length the idea of Yerida Tzorech Aliya, and explains it in three ways: 1) The ability of Neshama down here, to reach higher than it is On High, is because the challenges of down here get the Neshama in touch with its “Mazal” on high (which never descended.) 2) She has the help of the irrational (then Super-rational) Nefesh HaNahamis (after transformation.) 3) It reaches the source of the Neshama above Tohu and Tikun. Yidden accessed the source of their own Neshama above the Torah to affect the giving of the Torah!!!
