Class One. This first class on this Ma’amar discusses the Biur (philosophy/ mysticism) of the Ma’amar. Neshamos are called ‘Kol HaNikra BiShmi…’. This means that all of Godliness (anything other than Him) even the highest light, is brought forth by Neshamos. In addition since we emerge as separate beings (as opposed to Torah, which is called ‘kvodi’) only we are therefore able to bring Godliness down into the lowest realm. The connection between this and the joy of Simchas Torah we’ll discuss in the next class.
Class Two. This class talks about Simchas Torah. We dance and bring Joy to the Torah. The question is who are we to do so, especially on the level of the Torah called Matana (a gift). The answer is that we are masters over all levels of light until (literally) Atzmus, and we are therefore able to add light to the Torah even on the highest levels. It is however done through dancing (action) as action is rooted in Atzmus.
