Why was Mattan Torah with so much fan fair and noise? The idea is that Mattan Torah reveals ‘Atzmus’ that breaks ‘The decree that separates the higher from the lower’. The ‘noise’ affects Bittul which is (in a way) the Keli to receive ‘Atzmus’ The Class discusses the change that is affected by the fact…

Yisro’s presence was necessary for the giving of the Torah. He represents the darkness that needs elevating, transforming and revealing the Godliness in to it and from within it. The event of Maatan Torah was all about a higher level, revealing the Godliness from, and in and through darkness. This maamar also follows the earlier…

This is a post Shavuos Maamar. The sounds, flairs and sounds of the Shofar are Chesed, Gevura Tiferes. As Hashem gives them they are from the top down and we apply them from the bottom up. How the Shofar “that is narrow at one end and wide at the other end” can apply “from the…

Rosh Hashana is all about Tzimtzum! This Ma’amr that followed the Yud Shvat (5745) chidush of Tzimtzumim explains, that the reason for a head (of a year) is so the light can be brought lower and lower and lower, so that the Yid down here can achieve Achdus with Hashem through Avoda.

The Ma’amar is trying to understand how Midos…

It interprets the word בעשור (as opposed to בעשירי) as meaning all ten, meaning, that each later day includes all the preceding ones until ten. Ten is the completion of one’s personal wholeness; of קשוט עצמך….

A Pesach Maamar.
