Page 151-3. Golus Edom is (Aisav and Yishmael) is Netzach and Hod. Netzach and Hod are darkness, where there is a lack of Panim BiPanim, revealed Godliness. The Rebbe explains the difference between Hishtachava’a (prostration) and Kria (Kneeling) one is rich and inspired and the other poor and survival-like. The Avoda in Golus is to…

Page 151. Two Midrashim and a Kisvei HaArizal set up this Hemshech. Kol Dodi goes on Yetzias Mitzrayim and Moshiach because from Mitzrayim until Moshiach is one continuum. An explanation for why Mitzrayim until Moshiach is one continuation is 1) Mitzrayim is the Kesser of the four (other) Galuyos, 2) All of Klipa is like…

page 45-6. Notes for Ma’amarim numbered 4-5. In this class we explore the different (possible) levels of Bittul amongst Neshamos! We distinguish Kadosh from Kodesh and explain them (in the context of the Bittul (Chidush) being discussed here) as the two levels of 1) Kla Chashiv and 2) Lo Yada. We complete the notes of…

Page 44-5. Notes for Ma’amar numbered 3 This class accepts that even Malachim deal with Birur but it is not low enough to reveal so high an Ohr as Neshamos reveal. Nehamos reach kedusha and malachim cannot.

Page 43-4. Notes for Ma’amarim numbered 1-2. Bittul, chidush, Only Neshamos and not Malachim, Kodesh, Torah and Tefilla, the lowest Avoda the greatest delight.

Page 42-3. In Avodah the Rebbe explains what Iskafia achieves and especially what Iskafia (Bittul BiMitzius) achieves: The Great Tzadikim lift the limitations of time and space. But there still is time and space it is simply not limiting. We discussed (at length) the difference between Bittul HaYesh and Bittul BiMtzius.

Page 41-2. Chidush. There are two chidushim: 1) from Ayin to Yesh, 2) From Yesh to Ayin. The ma’amar argues that the Chidush from Yesh to ayin is greater than the Chidush from Ayin to Yesh, as indicated in the story of the Gold leg of the table delivered and then taken back from Rav…

Page 39-40. The showing of panim as a Keli for the panim of heaven is our Bittul. The reason Bittul is so powerful from this world, is because of the ‘Chidush’ like the Mashal of the Bird’s apology. A discussion on the Yesodos (or Tzuros) and the fact that the Malachim (Angels) have bodies from…

Page 37-9. Atzilus is a Mimutza (intermediate) between Ein Sof and Briah. Question: what purpose does a Mimutza serve when the distance between the higher and the lower is quantum (Yesh MeAyin)? Three ideas: 1) the Tzura from Atzilus comes to Briah through closeness, not distance. 2) The Ayin must be close (Razton and Hispaalus)…

Page 36-7. The first part of this Shiur was dedicated to the fourth example of havdala in this Maamar: from Ratzon (will) to Sechel requires a Tzimtzum. Later we discuss the havdalos as they apply on high specifically (the same four discussed above in the Mashal as they apply in the Nimshal) in Atzilus: 1)…
