Class Thirteen: Yitzchok and Dovid are Hard judgement (Yitzchok) and soft judgement (Dovid), but in this Ma’amar soft judgement is harder than hard judgement because it is a different world (BiY”A) that cannot handle the judgement. Avrohom gives Dovid 5 years, kindness, so he can live.

Class 8: This class was almost entirely lecture (very little text). The issue was…

Class One. This typical Rosh Hashana Ma’amar explores the idea of ‘Helem’. When all godliness is gone, what is left? God! This is the ‘Koach HaHelem of Malchus.
