Vikibel Hayehudim 5738Class One. This class encompasses almost all of the Ma’amar. The idea is that Purim, (one of our lowest points in history,) could be higher and be the conclusion (קיום) of what started at Har Sinai, (the highest point in our history.) The ideas of 1) Personal work (rather than from above) and 2) Mesiras Nefesh dominate this Ma’amar. In many ways this Ma’amar is similar to the Drush Viatta Titzaveh (from 5741, 5752) with some real differences. It is all about Chinuch, the need for Mesiras Nefesh for Chinuch, and it posits (in part) that even adults are (often) children and it is necessary to have Mesiras Nefesh for adult’s Chinuch as well. Moreover, when it comes to כתית למאור, this can be self-imposed (even when one is doing well materially and even spiritually) by considering how much better he should be doing and what is expected of him.

Vikibel Hayehudim 5738Class Two. The idea of אתערותא דלתתא being advantageous compared to אתערותא דלעילא is explained with the מאמר ועתה אם נא מצאתי חם בעיניך ה’תשע”ח the question of חן being good (נא מצאתי חן) or bad (שקר החן) depends on the work that comes before. This is explained in terms of levels of Emuna. After we have our own Emuna on the ממלא (and סובב) level He gives us higher than that. This is very good.
