Ribono Shel Olom, Class One.
13 Wednesday 9 Teves 5775/ December 31 2014.
This class introduces this prayer which is based (to a great degree) on the Rosh Hashana Musaf Davening. We are following up a prayer and meditation of Mesiras Nefesh (the Akaida) with a series of requests from the Creator. We go through our past, present, and future: 1) the Avos, 2) Galus in Egypt, 3) the Exodus, 4) subsequent Galus and 5) Moshiach. We also explore other things culminating on the Beis HaMikdash being a house of prayer for all mankind.

Ribono Shel Olom, Class Two.
The introductory part of the prayer is read INSIDE and explored in depth, (until the Pesukim). The basic point is that we ask for judgement, because we need vessels to receive any divine blessings, but we want them to be sweetened, as Avrohom squeezed himself, so should Godliness squeeze goodness for us.

Ribono Shel Olom, Class Three.
The first of the Pesukim: 1) The Avos, saw and valued the face of God. The idea of the nose as positive (and potentially negative. 2) The Golus Mitzrayim, the very same face the Avos saw was to the children a mask and concealment. But even in Golus, there is (some) revelation, which in the end brings about our redemption.

Ribono Shel Olom, Class Four.
Continuing the Pesukim: 3) The redemption from Egypt, by Godly light (which is lower than ‘the face’) being revealed. “to the eyes of the ‘Goyim'”. 4) The second Geula (which we are associating with Bayis Shaini, (although it really doesn’t match.) Three things are redeemed: A. The souls that were exiled, B. The Gilgulim, which are bi-products of the Golus, C. converts. Once Moshiach comes all these are discontinued (even as possibilities).

Ribono Shel Olom, Class Five. 
14 WEDNESDAY 29 SHVAT 5775/ FEBRUARY 18 2015. RIBON HAOLOMIM 5
Continuing the Pesukim: 5) Surviving Galus, we ask for undeserved kindness, for which we make a vessel. He plants seeds (of our Mesiras Nefesh) during galus which will sprout later. In Galus we survive ‘on His face’. The Tza’ar itself is the source of the salvation. He suffers with us in Golus, when Moshiach comes there will be light to redeem us and higher than light as well.

Ribono Shel Olom, Class Six.
15 WEDNESDAY 6 ADAR 5775/ FEBRUARY 25 2015. RIBON HAOLOMIM 6
6) The thirteen attributes of Mercy, measure, and Ain Sof. 7) Moshiach, the idea that the ‘face’ is revealed in light as well.
