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.

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 Two.
