20a. Lima’an Yechaltzun Yedidecha 5714, Class One.
This class speaks of Yitzchok’s superior Ahava (love of hashem) over Avarahm’s Ahava.
Avraham’s is אהבה כמים (water-like love); this means reasonable, containable love.
Yitzchok’s love is אהבה כרשפי אש (fiery love) it is not reasonable and is anchored in Gevura, a person WILLS this love from the outside in (or: from the bottom up) and it exceeds all natural (‘water-like’) loves.
