15b. Vehaya Eikev (והי’ עקב תשמעון) 5711, Class Two. Hiskashrus (tying) is lower than Dvaikus (cleaving) but it forms a stronger bond, as do Neshamos down here who are ‘black and beautiful’. The Possuk VeHaya Eikev, says that when Mitzvos are done on a heel level they create a bond that is higher than reason.
