Page 31-2. This Ma’amar which further explains the idea of the light coming from a higher level to a lower level through a series of havdalos (separations) where each consists of two steps: 1) removal of the Pnimiyus, 2) the Chitzoniyus lowers itself.

Page 29-30 (and before). The two opposites of the Kav: 1) how far from the Ein Sof it is. It went through Tzimtzum and has been changed from Iggul to Kav, and is only a Haara DiHaaara of the Ein Sof; on the other hand the Tzimtzum imposes nothing on the Kav other than to…

Page 27-9. Malchus is a Midda which is so separate from the Nefesh that it is altogether outside the (ohr of) the Nefesh. Kochos (Sechel, Middos and Chushim) are outside the Nefesh but it is still close enough to the Nefesh to be considered a Nafshi. Malchus has a low end which is altogether outside…

Nevertheless…

Page 20 ff. In explaining havdala (which is about Ohr Ein Sof) he prefaces the discussion of Ohr and Shefa. Ohr is everything but nothing of the Etzem, Shefa is limited but the Giver is Giving (of Himself,) as He is involved. the second half of this class is discussing two details in the maamar…

Page 20 ff. Nesira is the separation of a lesser union to allow for a deeper one, like the separating of Adam and Chava so they could face one another. Havdala separates higher from lower light (of Ein Sof) to allow for the creation of the world, but the point is to ultimately reveal the…

Page 19-20. This Shiur involved a review of: 1) Achor vs. Panim, 2) Panim vs. Yechida, which are I. Bakshu Phanai, and II. Mimaamaikm, 3) Two levels of the Aleph, one that conceals and another that reveals and Rosh Hashana the second (Aleph= Peleh) is re-revealed. 4) Many details.
