Class Sixty Three The question of Shanisi (2). How is there no change if there are changes between sfiros (in one world), Kesser and Chochma (from close), Bina (from far), Z”A (through a window), and Malchus (through a hole) It is predicated on the idea of “Makom” and Ein Sof- having a relationship with something…

Class Sixty Four This is the first answer to the question of Shanisi: If Havaya means Mihaveh (creator), the Lo Shanisi is that אין עצם מסתיר על עצם one cannot truly block Himself, so the covering though actual isn’t “real.”

Class Sixty Five This class provides the second answer to the question of לא שניתי. It is predicated on the idea that now הוי’ה means אין סוף, or סובב כל עלמין. Here the answer is that אין סוף .נמצא למטה כמו למעלה ממש The אין סוף is the same everywhere, we just perceive it differently…

Class Sixty Six This is the end of Perek Aleph in Tanu Rabanan 5643, the third לא שניתי is in Atzmus. Introduction, Kavana, what does intent mean in ענינים פנמיים.

We finished the first Perek and explained why the higher worlds (that are “only” גילויים”) are לא שניתי because of how they benefit the purpose down here. We mentioned (in the Shiur) Tanya Perek 38 about כונה and עשי’ה.

This is the beginning of Perek 2. In Perek 1 we discussed לא שניתי from the angle that the LIFE reaching us from Him is לא שניתי. This Perek reasks the question: Isn’t the existence of the world itself the greatest שניתי? There will be 2 answers, the first is that the worlds are recreated…

This class discusses 2 ideas in יש מאין 1) must be from כח אין סוף העצמי 2) must be בכל רגע ורגע this is the basis for לא שניתי as it is really only the דבר הוי’ה.
