We feed Him and He feeds us. On the lower level He must feed us, but on the higher level we feed Him.

Class One. Bikurim, Teruma and the remaining grain correspond to 1) Yidden, 2) Torah and the world. This Ma’amar assumes the source of Yidden that is higher than Torah and Mitzvos. But to reveal this we need Tefilla, thus in this Ma’amar Bikurim is Tefilla, and as it is done each day three times! Class…

Rosh Hashanah we go from the ‘prat’ (detail) to the ‘Klal’ (unity). Afterwards from the Klal, (the general) back to the details (Torah and Mitzvos) and when Moshiach comes we’ll go finally from the ‘prat’ (details) to the (ultimate) ‘klal’ (general inclusiveness).

Class One. A Possuk without RaShI or the Gemara reads quite differently. We blow when all is new and from Pleasure (Shofar). But it comes down from there into Bachodesh HaShvii, Biechad Lachodesh and Yom (Zichron) Truah. Class Two. Two becomes three (Perhaps: Pshitus, Klal, Pratim): Tiku Bachodesh: the source of newness that encompasses all….

The Meraglim argued to stay in the world of speech rather than go into the world of action. Speech is spiritual but is Yesh. Kolaiv quieted the people, which is Bittul or thought which is higher than the world of speech also. The Possuk ארץ אשר השם אלוקיך דורש אותה תמיד עיני ה’ אלוקיך בה…

Class One. Little text was read in this class. The idea explored (which is apparently the essence of the Ma’amar) is the idea that all levels of יראה are connected because at their root is ביטול. In a similar vein all levels of תשובה are connected even the lowliest of a sinner and the loftiest…

The system of unity (as explained here) is three steps: 1) division, 2) unification, 3) Oneness (where no parts exist at all, as all the parts are part of one complex purpose). In this מאמר this idea plays itself out in four things: 1) The harvest, 2) The Sukka, 3) The Four Minim Lulav etc,…

1) Shmini Atzeres is about תשובה, Shavuos is about צדיק. Therefore the עצרת of סוכות is right after סוכות, as תשובה takes no time, while the עצרת of פסח is seven weeks later as what צדיקים do takes time. שמחת תורה is joined with שמיני עצרת to add the joy element which breaks all barriers…

This מאמר begins and ends with מחר חדש: Dovid receives from Yehonasan but in the end due to his Bittul exceeds him and he becomes 1) greater and 2) the Mashpia. The body -ביאור- of the מאמר discusses ברכות: 1) Bringing down, 2) Three levels of Brachos: הנהנין, המצוות, תפילה. 3) ברכות that are חותם…

There was no rainbow before the מבול as the air was too dense for clouds that would allow light through. The מבול refined the world so the clouds would allow light through in the form of a rainbow. The מאמר explains clouds first and then the rainbow: Clouds come from the earth and reflect the…
