Class One.
Snow and ice represent the great Tzimtzum. But snow represents the Tzimtzum on a level that allows what was before to reappear while ice represents the Tzimtzum that blocks it out totally.
This refers to two levels of the first Tzimtzum- that connects and that separates. 1) World and Torah, 2) two perspectives on the world and 3) two levels in Torah.
This will allow us to understand different levels of Teshuva (Panim vs. Oref) where each higher T’shuva makes the one below it like an Oref, facing away from the ‘face’ of Hashem..
Class Two.
There are so many levels of T’shuva and each earlier level is like Oref when compared to the level after it.
The idea is that in the Aseres Yemai T’Shuva, we should achieve ‘Panim BiPanim’.
