16 Memalei Kol Almin – maashal from the neshama. Review: Zman and Makom Atzmi vs Zman and Makom that can be counted. One space for all Nivraim (Sovev) or each nivra makes its own space (memale). Is the Aibishter the Source of the world? The Source needs creation to be fulfilled and exist. So the…

15 Makom #3 – Types of makom, what the argument is about. Time and Space are creations. Others say that Time and Space don’t exist at all.
