Why is Rosh Hashana connected especially to Malchus (making Him a King). It reveals G-D with no constraints whatsoever.

02. Shuva Yisroel 5746

Class One. Snow and ice represent the great Tzimtzum. But snow represents the Tzimtzum on a level that allows what was before to reappear while ice represents the Tzimtzum that blocks it out totally.

27. מחר חדש ה’תשל”ט This is the first in a המשך about מתן תורה

מחר חדש ה’תשל”ט Class One: The Torah existed before מתן תורה but we received עוז תושי’ה and שלום to achieve the point of the ביטול הגזירה. The basis for all of this is ביטול. The idea of לאמר that any Yid at any time can recreate the אימה יראה רתת and זיעה of מתן תורה…
