- (א)All Mitzvos (Edos, Mishpatim, & Chukim) require Kabolas Ol
- (ה)The Tochacha are very lofty blessings that cannot be expressed openly
- (ח)Three items of advice in Tanya to deal with suffering
- Accept with joy (ל"א פרק כו)
Result – to be revealed as good (upon the Geulah) - Examine one’s conduct – realize that the King Himself is cleaning him
(אגרת הקודש סימן כב)
Result – G-d’s Love manifest in revealed form (after mediation, awaken love for HaShem, resolutions, etc.) - View as test to determine one’s priorities (spiritual vs. physical)
Result – Love is awakened (upon passing the test)
Pnimiyus HaTorah does not wait for any of the above, rather the good is manifest immediately
אם בחקתי תלכו כו, ג א
If one learns Torah with commitment of Kabolas Ol (Chukim), then rewarded with potential to “progress” further
חקיקה – engraving’s advantage over written letters is that they are not an independent entity, but an integrated part of the whole
Study of Torah needs labor until engraved
בחקתי תלכו כו ,ג ג
Main avodah is to not to destroy but turn over the bad of the world into good to become a Dwelling Place for G-d
The future promise to remove bad animals
R’Yehuda: complete removal (ביטול במציאות)
Rabbi Shimon – only remove their form & ability to be bad (שינוי הצורה)
Pertains also to removing Chametz, and about Mizmor Shir l’Yom haShabbos
והשבתי כו ,ו זא
Standing upright – 2 explanations alluded by the Tannaim’s names
Rabbi Yehudah(הודה) 100 - Joined & complementary (i.e. the heichel & its walls)
Rabbi Meir (אור וכלי) 2 (100’s) – Joined but distinct (i.e. a person & the body)
קוממיות כו ,יג זב
Case of mistakenly calling to the 11th animal, the Tenth
Rabbi Meir -quality is preferable (איכות-עוקר הרים); such an animal is offered on the Altar, but can not make another animal T’murah
Rabbi Yehudah -quantity is preferable (כמות-סיני); cannot be offered but can make another animal T’murah
קודש לה' כז, לב סיום מס' בכורות יבא
First step is to refrain from bad and then do good; nevertheless, the main avodah is to do good
The tenth animal becomes holy and this Kedusha is apparent as it is brought to the Altar; even to a Baal Mum (not offered) still attaches forms of holiness
לא יבקר * כז ,לג יבב
