11a. Aileh Shmos 5716, Class One. This is the first (of four) class(es) on this Ma’amar. It begins with a long introduction explaining how the ladder of Tefilla is normally understood and how it is being explained here. There’s also a mention of the idea of הבדלה which is very important to this Ma’amar. This class is about הודאה the acceptance of Hashem on various levels. This is how we begin the climb that will continue with the mind and the heart on the two levels we will discuss in the next two classes IYH.
