אביי Class Seven. Reading concluded. After a day’s ascent, comes the night which is higher than the day, as is the order of the Korban day: from morning to morning.

פרשת התמיד Class Nine. The פסוק עולת תמיד references the timeless idea of a Korban that always was and always will be, it is about sacrifice. But at Mattan Torah a new idea is added, to have a return from a Korban, this idea is novel.

ועשית אותה קטרת רוקח מעשה רוקח ממולח טהור קדש. ושחקת ממנה הדק ונתת ממנה לפני העדות באהל מועד אשר אועד לך שמה קדש קדשים תהי’ לכם Class Four This first part of a very long class discusses taking the spices (representing קליפה and its transformation through תשובה) and making from them an incense for Hashem….

ויאמר… קח לך… סמים נטף ושחלת וחלבנה סמים ולבונה זכה בד בבד יהי’ה Class Three Different opinions about how many kinds were included in the Ketores: 4, 6, 11, [12 -?-]. How these opinions are extracted from the words. The idea of כלל ופרט וכלל explains סמים נטף ושחלת וחלבנה סמים. Accordingly לבונה זכה represents…

רבון העולמים Class Seven. The two Pesukim we don’t say for lack of worthiness. עורי צפון ובואי תימן הפיחי גני יזלו בשמיו יבא דודי לגנו ויאכל פרי מגדיו: באתי לגני אחתי כלה אריתי מורי עם בשמי אכלתי יערי עם דבשי שתיתי ייני עם חלבי אכלו רעים שתו ושכרו דודי. This class has a long introduction:…
