11. “Liolom Yehei Adam” [Tana Dvei Eliyahu] (Machon Chana (5775/ 2015)) Class Eleven. 22 WEDNESDAY 23 SIVAN 5775/ JUNE 10 2015. Our ancestors each had the אדם quality, each holding the מדה opposite his nature, in addition to his nature. From them we inherit the obligation to engage in יחודים- bringing down (or up) the ten Sefiros. However we have something in addition which we did not inherit, but that we have from Sinai. That is our אשרינו on two levels: 1) To live like a Jew doing actions of מצות on three levels: limited (חלקינו) unlimited (גרלינו) and the strength of the value of the גוף itself (ירושתינו) without doing anything. 2) The idea of מסירת נפש על קידוש השם as represented by the recitation of שמע.
