Nasso 05:11~31 – Parshas Sota (Achei Temimim 5782)

Nasso 05- 11-31 Parshas Sota
This class overviews the idea and the dinim of a Sota, and emphasizes what it means in Avoda.
1) A Sota is spelled in RaMbaM שוטה meaning folly.
2) Three levels of this Shtus:
A. against the nature of the Animal Soul (Tanya Chapter 8 (12)).
B. Against the ‘Intellectual Soul’ (Kuntres Uma’ayan).
C. against nature of the Divine Soul (Tanya Chapter (18-19) 24).
3) The idea of חילול השם in erasing Hashem’s name. How this plays out in the ceremony of Sota; and the (upside is) idea that Hashem’s name is erased to bring a man and woman together שלום בית.
4) We are the wife and the man is God; in the end we drink and we are proven innocent, and we bear good children.
