Vayihyu Chayey Sara 5712, Perek Three (1), Class Fifteen. Introduction to Perek 3, Bittul is the key to Simcha. What is Bittul. where you vacate the space of your own freedom with someone else’s (like a slave whose freedom belongs to his master). “One’s Freedom” consist of two points: 1) Self ownership, 2) Personal responsibility. The meaning of the statement: “A Yid is a Kabbalas-Olnik, a Kabbalas-Olnik is a Yid”, this is because a Yid is a Chelek ELoka Mimama’al, and it is that point that “takes over the space: we vacate for Him. The hard part of this is that giving up your space for Him doesn’t free us from the need to exercise the free will to do His will. This is why there is no real translation for Bittul.
