Likutei Sichos – Vol 16 p. 443 ff. A RaShI sicha on the last RaShI in Vayakheil. The meaning of the word לעומת (opposite, above, parallel to) is discussed in explaining a RaShI. Reb Yosi explains לעומת to mean higher above; but RaShI doesn’t feel compelled to agree with him. He holds that לעומת could mean ‘equal to’ (the same as the walls -קלעים- themselves). We have a very interesting discussion about how to understand the purpose of a door. To RaShI it completes the wall (protecting it from the outside) and to others (RaMbaM) it is there to opened in order to enter a concealed place.
