Page 248-9. What does praise change? It reveals (and in G-dliness’ case: creates) new energy through the praise. This is why Yidden are called יונתי as they “stare” at Him.

Page 247-8. פסוקי דזמרא is like looking at the king: הסתכלות where you have the essence but it is not internal and transforming though it is very impactful. ברכות קריאת שמע is studying the king; not nearly as moving but much deeper, like the כחות.

Page 247-9. The four rungs of the ladder of prayer. מודה אני: submission and acceptance, this state is where one’s mind and heart and senses are not manifest, and we have and all we can (and do) do is accept. סיפור שבחיו של מקום :פסוקי דזמרא we sing G-d’s praises about what He does for…

Samach Bais (14) – Lech Lecha 5662 – Class 14

Page 246-7. מלכות looking at אריך reveals the essence of אריך in a מקיף way. Like looking at a king. Anyone can look at a king but only special people can advise. Ironically, in a way, when seeing him you get more of him than when you serve him. משל: מודה אני.

Page 245-6. The נמשל for כתר מסתכל על מלכות. Since it is the Etzem it is 1) Makif, 2) coming from the essence of אריך and not only from an הארה.

Samach Bais (12) – Lech Lecha 5662 – Class 12

Page 245-6. An attempt at explaining what is the meaning of Kesser looking at Malchus, by discussing an אתערותא דלעילא that is not connected to an אתערותא דלתתא. Either the idea of וישכם לבן בבקר. or the idea of אתערותא דלעילא שלמעלה מאתערותא דלתתא אתערותא דלעילא.

Page 245- 6. Another aspect of seeing, when someone great looks at you. It is very impacting but not internally transforming. The greatness of a person through his eyes.

Page 245. Two types of Hishtalshelus: One: the gradual orderly one. In order for ideas and inspiration from Kesser to reach מלכות in a form of פנימיות it goes through various steps of התלבשות וצמצום.

Samach Bais (09) – Lech Lecha 5662 – Class 09

Page 244-5. Back to the question: how did Dovid (Malchus) “see” and reach and bring down directly from Kesser “Ayin” straight to himself in Malchus “אשא עיני אל ההרים מאין יבא עזרי” without going through the steps of Hishtalshelus? The answer will be through חושים and particularly the חוש הראי’ה. Hashem also by-passes when יאר…

Samach Bais (08) – Lech Lecha 5662 – Class 08

Page 244. ראי’- המשכה יותר התאחדות פחותה. שאר חושים- התאחדות הנפש יותר, המשכת העצם פחות. The idea of כלות הנפש, where the soul expires and leaves the body is explained here, as the lower being uplifted in the higher etc. It is connected to the idea of התאחדות הנפש which is the same idea as…
