Shofar (Yeshiva, Elul 5780- 5781), Class Five – Seven.
Posted: October 1, 2020
Shofar (Yeshiva, Elul 5780- 5781), Class Five. We began the class by further reviewing what the Holy Reb Levi Yitzchok of Barditchov explained about Tekiyas Shofar. We discussed the two types of leader: מושל and מלך. מושל is a leader who imposes his will on others. מלך is all about will: the people want him as their king and they arouse in the King the desire to do so. Shofar (Yeshiva, Elul 5780- 5781), Class Five.
Shofar (Yeshiva, Elul 5780- 5781), Class Six. This class (was without any text) was a lecture on how we make Hashem a King on Rosh Hashana: is we expect Him to give all of Himself to us, we must give all of ourselves to Him. This is why we bow and act in a way of קבלת עול כללי total submission (with ALL our faculties) to Him. Shofar (Yeshiva, Elul 5780- 5781), Class Six.
Shofar (Yeshiva, Elul 5780- 5781), Class Seven. The aforementioned process of making Hashem a king, is called in Kabbalah בנין המלכות. We explore this idea at length. The notions of סוד שרש and סוד תוספת are explained and linked to דורמיטא and בנין המלכות. Shofar (Yeshiva, Elul 5780- 5781), Class Seven.
