Class 18

Page 20-23. Yiras Shamayim means higher than Atzilus. Havaya is Atzilus, the four letters of His name, the four elements etc. Shamayim is above all that. In this class we explain the Universe in the Jewish model from Shfailim to Yesodos (Tzuros) but as other Rishonim contend this is the world of the Shaidim (spirits) and finally Nivdalim (Malachim) in the heavens. Shamayim is higher than Shfailim and Yesodos in the heavens.
