Perek 5, Part 5. Conclusion of the discussion that מקום is ממלא כל עלמין, which includes the idea that it is much more than physical, it is spiritual. And it gives life to what will be space, and at the same time it is local: each creation has its own מקום that is the source…

Part One: This (previous class) justifies calling מקום secondary (טפל) to Hashem as it is spiritual and the six מדות and we know from the פסוק לך השם הגדולה that the ספירות are טפל to the אין סוף. Beginning of the מאמר האומנם ה’תרמ”ג Part Two: the two opinions about מקום if it is ממלא…

Maamar Haumnam (class 2) The opinion that makom is Sovev is the topic of today’s class. 1) Emek HaMelech, 2) Pardes, 3) Reb Menachem MiRikanti 4) Rambam. They all call Sovev, “Makor”.

Ma’amar Haunam Perek 6, Class 3. The second (our) opinion: that Makom means Mimalei Kol Almin, It is also called Makor (source). The immediate (or individuated) space of each creation separately.

Ma’amar Haumnam Perek 6 Class 4. The Mitzvah of loving Hashem seems unreasonable, and the solution to this question is the idea of התבוננות. In this class we talked of the priority in חסידות חב”ד called התבוננות. How it affects the heart to fulfill this Mitzvah etc.

Ma’amar Haumnam Perek 6 Class 5. Three meanings of ואהבת 1) You should love 2) You WILL love 3) Make others love. Different levels in Love and if the higher level is too high for someone then they should (they must) try the lower level. The worst is lying to oneself.

Ma’amar Haumnam Perek 6 Class 6. Higher and lower levels of Achdus and Avodah honesty. Yichuda Illa’a (the world is Hashem) and Yichuda Tata’a (the world exists, but Hashem is it’s Master). The אנשי יריחו for whom it was correct to miss ברוך שם כבוד מלכותו לעולם ועד as they were actually on the level…

Ma’amar Haumnam Perek 6 Class 7. Famous question (that is rooted in the famous מאמר מי כמוכה מכ”ק אדמו”ר מהר”ש משנת תרכ”ט) about אחדות versus בחירה חפשית שכר ועונש etc. You cannot have it both ways: Either there is total Achdus Or there is real בחירה חפשית and שכר ועונש. The answer the Rebbe RaShaB…

Ma’amar Haumnam Perek 6 Class 7, Perek 7 Class 1. Two Midrashim that argue creation יש מיש as a part of Torah, which is less (and lower) than יש מאין. The רמב”ם in his מורה נבוכים חלק ב’ פרק כ”ו has issues with this, but the Rebbe explains it here and says (in effect) that…

Ma’amar Haumnam Perek 7 Class 2. When we speak of creation יש מיש (and we argue that it has credibility in Torah, see upcoming classes beginning with class 126) 1) the world need not be renewed every instant (as when we speak of creation יש מאין) 2) In the presence of the source the world…
