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 connect and that separate. 1) World and Torah, 2) two perspectives…

Class One. The middle of the Maamar Vahaya bayom hahu (the beginning and the end will be n the next shiur IYH) deals with the pisgam (from Siddur) Ze HaYom Techillas ma’asecha zikaron LiYom Rishon. Is our Rosh Hashana higher or lower than the one Hashem inspired at the beginning of time ‘Ki Chafetz Chesed…

Class One. The greatest Yerida brings the biggest Aliya. Connection to Monday and the Shir Shel Yom: Gadol Havaya Umehulal Miod Bi’Ir Elokainu two insights: 1) He is seen as greater, 2) He is actually greater! Class Two. 15 Menachem and its importance.

Torah and Tzedaka, first the sublime, then the material. Ultimately Tzedaka ascends higher than Torah. This Maamar was (and is) learned lizchus Shmuel Menachem Mendel ben Shulamis for a complete recovery and inner and outer (personal and familial) peace of mind. Amain! Another Version from Beis Midrash Linashim
