קדיש Class Forty Six. Peace, in this sentence יהא שלמא רבה, means culminating the Davening or Learning, so it shouldn’t spill over hysterically. Two versions: A) 12 expressions of peace, against the 12 שבטים. B) 2 expressions (our version.) If you know detail you must use it, but if you don’t, generalization has a great…

קדיש Class Forty Five. Continued from 44. The peace at the end of עבודה and the peace as we go into the world. The two opinions of this sentence (יהא שלמא רבה) has only two ideas (שלמא רבה and חיים טובים) or twelve ideas as found in אבודרהם and many (נוסח ספרד סידורים).

קדיש Class Forty Four. שלמא רבה and עושה שלום both speak of שלום peace. But (notwithstanding the צלותא דאברהם) both are necessary. One is the peace after the struggle in תורה עבודה or גמילות חסדים The other (as explained in the רמ”ק) is the peace needed to go out into the world. The רמ”ק explains…

Summary Perek 118: This class is an overview of the entire Kapital given for Beis Rivka seminary This is the Halel (reveal, celebrate) of Hodaya (this that we must accept because it is beyond comprehending). Class one: Introduction about Hallel: The idea of miracles and revelation, is not every day. The six chapters of Hallel are six…

קדיש Class Forty Three. The end of Kaddish is really about Hashem. יתגדל ויתקדש שמי’ רבה was originally said by simple people and then became a staple of our Tefilla. These two last lines deal primarily with peace. According to the צלותא דאברהם, the idea of שלמא רבה מן שמייא isn’t about peace but a…

קדיש Class Forty Two. End of תתקבל- we explore the words קדם אבוהון דבשמייא (which, according to the רמ”ק) refer to כתר חכמה בינה and the idea is that after the sacrifice (תתקבל) and the coming close (צלותהון ובעותהון דכל בית ישראל) Hashem embraces us (קדם אבוהון דבשמייא).

קדיש Class Forty One. The רמ”ק continued. The words דכל בית ישראל are explained in this class. In Tanya chapter 41, the Alter Rebbe explains the idea of בשם כל ישראל. This same logic is applied to דכל בית ישראל- collectively we are perfect and deserving of all blessings.

קדיש Class Forty. We discussed the רמ”ק’s read on תתקבל. Reviewing 1) תתקבל and 2) צלותהון. We then explained ובעותהון, a request made like a son to a father, who presents his closeness (and worthiness). This is represented by the rainbow. The word ובעותהון in Torah comes from קשת (Rashi in ויחי). The upside and…

קדיש Class Thirty Nine. Continuing the RaMaK’s interpretation of תתקבל the next word צלותהון is in מלכות– in other words ואני תפילה just standing before Him.

קדיש Class Thirty Eight. 1) Review of the idea of צלותא ובעותעא being like a sword and a bow, fighting from close and from far and the strengths and weaknesses of each. Fighting from close is intense and really fixes what is wrong because it is so close and personal, but leaves you “dirty” even…
