Class Fifty Five.

Page 123-4. End of Sugia of Achdus according to the Ba’al Shem Tov. Only Yidden are expected to achieve Achdus because they come from Havaya, Pnimiyus, Sovev; non-Jews are allowed to believe in שיתוף which is a refined level of אלקא דאלקייא.

Class Fifty Three.

Page 123. Beginning of the Ba’al Shem Tov’s achdus: the world doesn’t exist at all, as it is like the light of the sun in the sun (we just don’t see it). Some history about the Baal Shem Tov’s letters and the letter about לית אתר פנוי מיני’ה.

Class Fifty Two.

Page 123. הוי’ הוא האלוקים because they are both אלוקות was explained in the previous classes. There is evidence of this unity in two ways: 1) We see הוי’ה in אלוקים through the idea of אין קדוש כהוי’ ואיתא בזהר כמה קדישין אינו ןלית קדוש כהוי’ה this means that even in גבול of אצילות and…
