The first Ma’amar of the Pesach Hemshech.

Page 151. Two Midrashim and a Kisvei HaArizal set up this Hemshech. Kol Dodi goes on Yetzias Mitzrayim and Moshiach because from Mitzrayim until Moshiach is one continuum. An explanation for why Mitzrayim until Moshiach is one continuation is 1) Mitzrayim is the Kesser of the four (other) Galuyos, 2) All of Klipa is like...

Page 151-3. Golus Edom is (Aisav and Yishmael) is Netzach and Hod. Netzach and Hod are darkness, where there is a lack of Panim BiPanim, revealed Godliness. The Rebbe explains the difference between Hishtachava’a (prostration) and Kria (Kneeling) one is rich and inspired and the other poor and survival-like. The Avoda in Golus is to...

Page 153-4. Netzach and Hod. This class discusses the idea that all things emerge from the Ein Sof (and the Nefesh) as Ohr, in either the light (Ohr), life (Chayos), or Koach (energy) phases. All three of these levels are ‘outside the Etzem (of the Ein Sof and the Neshama)’, as the Etzem is not...

Page 154-6. Ahava, Yirah, and Tiferes all are connected to Ohr ViGiluy on the levels of Mimaleia and Sovev. Shaar Hayichud VihaEmunah chapters 8-9 discuss Chochma in Atzilus and in Ein Sof, but in Hashem calling Him a Chocham is laughable. Why? Our Ma’amar’s discussion of Ohr ViGilluy and Etzem is the same discussion.

Hisbonenus. This class reexamines pages 154-6, exploring the background of Hisbonenus and the different levels involved. There are two basic levels to Hisbonenus as well as the Ahava ViYirah. The first level is the level of the human mind that can understand (and through Hisbonenus also feel) Godliness with the Human mind alone. On this...

Page 156-7. Atzmus is higher than Ohr ViGiluy altogether. Even Atzilus is Chidush, 1) The Giluy is new, 2) Ohr is Yesh MeAyin from MaOr, 3) In the Etzem it is not Ohr it is Sheim (name). Hod and Hadar (short).

Page 157-9. Netzach is from the Etzem. Is subject to no change. Otzar of Yiras Shamayim.

Page 159-60. Hod and Hod SheBiHod, Emuna and it’s incredible power.

Page 160-2. Amalaik is the Klipa parallel for NeHI, what could be an upside (from another Ma’amar). Pnimiyus HaTorah is NeHI (Etzem) as it will be revealed in Torah! How can this be?
