The Anochi of Re’ei Anochi is higher than the Anochi of Anochi Hashem Elokecha, the Ten Commandments. The idea is to bring the Anochi of Re’ei into the Anochi of the Ten Commandments, because the Torah means there is a world filled with light rather than no world at all.

The Maamar of Tavo also has to do with HaYom (holy Z’man, Rosh Hashana) not only Eretz Yisroel (Makom) as is obvious from the beginning of our Parsha. A special time has special effects as does special space. The joining of the two together is even more special.

The Possuk Sos Asis puts the simcha of Sukkos before the Yirah of the Yamim Noraim, though it comes later chronologically, because the point of it all is the Simcha (revelation). Rosh Hashana is renewal and on sukkos it is revealed.

This Ma’amar was recited Erev Rosh Hashana. He’emarta and He’emircha. Three translations in the same word are three steps in the same effect: 1) create delight and pleasure from Yidden, 2) Create garment of (infinite) light, 3) Speak (which represents finite light). These three ideas are stages in Hashem becoming and being revealed (down here)…

Class One. 25 Elul vs. Rosh Hashana. 25 Elul: 1) Creation Yesh MeAyin, 2) Braishis, the first or before the first Utterance, 3) Yachid BaOlomo, 4) Emes, 5) Ko is a level of Prophecy. Rosh Hashana: 1) He hides the Neshama in the physical body, 2) Asiya in His Tzelem. Rosh Hashanah joins Zeh (Rosh…

Two meanings of ‘Ad’ 1) Malchus, 2) Our Elokim becomes Havaya. Only Havaya can affect Tshuva like this. The free will needed to affect the Tshuva from the highest levels.

Sukkos is all about Achdus in various aspects: 1) The Four Minim are all naturally inclined towards divisiveness, but they are never the less unified; they become the basis for the Achdus of Lulav: joining together for the Mitzvah of Daled Minim. 2) The Sukka itself unifies (in theory) all the Jews in the world….

This Ma’amar explains the connection between the Psukim of Ata HarAisa and Hakafos and Simchas Torah. 1) Ata HarAisa: Achdus on the highest levels, 2) Liosai Niflaos, not like RaShI Yesh MeAyin but like the Ba’al Shem Tov, From Yesh to Ayin that has two advantages: A. Atzmus, B. Revealed. 3) How this is connected…

This Possuk is hard to understand. RaShI explains that it means the first of the things to be created were… The Zohar has trouble with this and explains that this Possuk is about the ten Sfiros. Chassidus adds that 1) the ten S’firos are created Yesh MeAyin, 2) They serve the lower worlds, as they…

Aliya LiRegel was really meant to be on Rosh Chodesh and Shabbos as well, but it was not commanded because there is a need ‘to see’ (not only be seen) in the Beis Hamikdash. the ability to see Godliness on Shabbos won’t happen until Moshiach comes, because Shabbos is ta’anug (delight) which is too subtle…
