Samach Tisamach 5657 – Class 12

Two ideas: 1) Hashem can have רוממות even if nothing else exists, because His רוממות is בעצם ומצד עצמו, while human רוממות can only be over another. We attempt to explain why this difference exists: 1) Human רוממות is relative, while His is absolute, 2) he is not in a body and therefore lowering Himself would not contradict His רוממות, while it would ours. 2) Even the higher Makif can be known in a way of שלילה. We discuss what שלילה means a little bit.
