(1) This class (the first of two on this Ma’amar) deals with the idea of: לא הי’ צריך להתחיל התורה אלא החודש הזה לכם, ומה טעם פתח בבראשית? משום כח מעשיו הגיד לעמו לתת להם נחלת גויים The Torah doesn’t bring בראשית just to defend a non-Jew’s onslaught, but because the world is where the higher divine light is meant to be revealed and as such the world is also part of the higher light that is the Torah.
Class one
(2) This is the beginning and the end of the Maamar Hachodesh There are three ideas: A. Rosh Hashana B. Rishon Lichodshei Hashana C. Rosh Vhadashim The first is nature, the third is miracles, and the middle is in between, and inasmuch as realizing the purpose is concerned, they are all connected.
