HaMalach haGoel… why is Yaakov blessing Yosef through a Malach? Most of this class explores three ideas in the ‘Malach:’ 1) Chakira/ Philosophy, Angels are creations and the Malach is the emissary of Hashem to bless, 2) Kabbalah, this Malach is from the Netiyo, a Sefira. [We have a discussion on ‘Nivdalim’ and Netiyos’]. 3) Chassidus, Malach is Melech (king or Malchus) with the additional Aleph making it higher than the Sefiros that affect the lower worlds. We briefly explain the idea of carrying the Avos names and the comparison to fish.
