18a. VaAvaditem Es Hashem Elokaichem 5736, Class One.
This classic Ma’amar with quite a new (and involved) set of details.
The work we do is ‘also’ for Him (not only for us and it begins with Bittul.
He wakes us up, we demonstrate Bittul that makes many in to one; and then He culminates the Bittul.
The class starts with questions of various types including the question of how we could possibly help Him all.
The Rebbe continues with questions on ויאמר לו יהונותן מחר חדש ונפקדת כי יפקד מושביך… עד כי דוד הגדיל and observes a similar dichotomy: is Yehonasan helping Dovid or is Dovid higher.
The Rebbe proposes that there are three steps in the beginning we (Dovid) needs Him (Yehonasan) but then we ascend even higher than our inspiration.
The main point: Bittul.
We will continue in the second class.
