Class one: Introduction: four events that revealed “Atzmus” (two opposites together) as preparation for Mattan Torah: A) Makas Bechoros “נגף למצרים ורפוא לישראל” B) Midday, Yetzios Mitzrayim “נגלה עליהם” C) Splitting of the sea: joining land and sea (עלמא דאתכסיא ועלמא דאתגליא) D) Mattan Torah itself.
