Class Eighty Three. This is the 2nd to the last class on this ma’amar. 1) The first step is שמע וגו, contemplating G-dliness. 2) The second step is ואהבת, wanting G-dliness. 3) The third step is HAVING Him. This is through והיו הדברים האלה וגו’ על לבבך etc.- Yiddishkeit is the answer. The story of…

Class Eighty Two. The recognition of Hashem creates a desire for Bittul (revelation of Him and Oneness with Him) on two levels. 1) The animal Soul can be affected by education and inspiration– גילויים even now 2) The body cannot experience Bittul unless it is Atzmus (the G-dliness within the body itself) which won’t be experienced…

Class Eighty One. The Hisbonenus creates a desire for HIM and not anything less The Possuk מי לי בשמים ועמך לא חפצתי בארץ

Class Eighty. Beginning of Perek 3. When one considers (contemplates) Hashem he wants Him to be revealed and known. This (short) class is a review of the Hisbonenus.

This class is page 41 in תרמ”ג. The second level of לא שניתי when הוי’ה refers to אור אין סוף is that the creation is truly (still) “within” the אין סוף as the צמצום is שלא כפשוטו. Incidentally, we explore two aspects of ממלא כל עלמין: A. that it gives life B. that there is…

Beshalach Exile and Redemption (120) Ma’amar Vayehi Bishalach 5721 The wealth taken from Egypt elevating sparks, the Pharaoh follows us to give us.

This class is the end of the first לא שניתי of the second Perek: the world itself doesn’t change Elokus, because the world is really the words that renew the world perpetually. Example: Moshe’s Nevua (מורה נבוכים בהקדמה); is like so many lightning flashes in succession, that it feels like daylight but it isn’t really.

In this class, we talk about the idea that יש מאין must be בכל רגע ורגע constant. The example for this is the idea of זריקה. When throwing something upwards, the force raising it must be constant, as it is being thrown against its nature. על אחת כמה וכמה in creation ex-nihilo it must certainly…
