Note 4. Lehavin Ma SheKasuv BiPri Eitz Chayim Class 1 Tanya Lectures – Kuntress Acharon

Introduction to this essay “Lehavin Ma Shekasuv biPri Eitz Chayim”. This essay will compare and contrast the mystical (and Chassidic) effects of our 1) Tefilla, 2) Mitzvos and 3) Torah study. The three will be thoroughly analyzed and the strengths and limitations of each will be explored. During the course of this essay we will also explore, compare and contrast Neshamos and Malachim- how they differ from each other and the three ideas of Tefilla, Mitzvos and Torah. This class was an introduction explaining: 1) The different levels and reasons for Mitzvos in philosophy, Mysticism, and Chassidus, 2) What Kabbala is A. Ein Sof (the “light”) and B. Adam HaElyon that are the perfect vessels for G-dliness. The question of getting closer to G-d (or G-dliness) will also be touched upon.
