ABSTRACT לקוטי שיחות (final)

Project Likkutei Sichos | June 27, 2025

Cohen Gadol (or any Jew) after completion of Yom Kippur (or any holy act) needs to go home to bring the holiness there to complete the purpose of Creation in this World

Cohen Gadol makes a Yom Tov with a meal at the end of Yom Kippur, in recognition of the successful conclusion of the day’s avodah, bringing joy for himself and for Klal Yisrael רמב"ם לבב

One should attempt to cover and reduce one’s energies in mundane matters; but in holy matters the energy should be “uncovered”

Mitzvah of covering the blood indicates one’s involvement in the world should not be done with one’s full life-force; however, one should apply one’s passions to one’s spiritual pursuits וכסהו בעפר יז, יג לז

Levels of Blood Levels of Involvement with the World

  • Blood of Chayos & Birds, one is obligated to cover Worldly matters that pose potential obstacles, a person needs to be careful in order not to stumble and go down from one’s level
  • Blood of (chullin) domesticated animals, one is not obligated to cover Worldly matters that could be used for holy purposes, one should seek to attach them to holiness
  • Blood of Korbanos are sprinkled on the Altar Holy matters (Torah, prayers, and Mitzvos) one should give one’s entire life force
