Shutafim beKarka 2 – Unity and Diversity of HaShem – Rishus HaYachid – Shabbos – Blessings – Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon.
00:00 – INTRODUCTION. Reference to LM___:6 – Peulos mishtanos – How can HaShem, the Essence of Unity, create such vast diversity in His Creation?
03:00 – PARAGRAPH 2. When two or more people own property jointly, this demonstrates both diversity and the unity of HaShem. Jointly owned property is an aspect of Rishus HaYachid, not Rishus HaRabim.
06:00 – Daled Amos represents the four letters of HaShem’s Name Yud – Hey – Vuv – Hey.
07:30 – Rishus HaRabim is under the jurisdiction of the Sutra Achra. Rishus HaYachid is under more direct supervision of HaShem, and the Sutra Achra is not permitted to draw from it.
14:00 – On Shabbos it is prohibited to transfer something between the Rishus HaYachid and the Rishus HaRabim.
21:00 – Q&R.
22:30 – *Transferring between private and public domain is done only during the six days of the week. By honoring Shabbos through refraining from this transfer, and all other type of melakha, the work done throughout the weekdays is elevated to the holiness of Shabbos.
29:00 – “Those who taste Shabbos are blessed with life.”
36:30 – Q&R. The more we are conscious of HaShem’s Presence and Unity, the more we draw His life energy into all we do.
38:30 – PARAGRAPH 3. The four partitions or walls that define a private domain. Three of these partitions must be at least 10 tefachim high, and 4 amos wide.
48:00 – PARAGRAPH 4. Eruv.
50:40 – Bread is one of the most important food. Diversity receives from HaShem’s unity through eating.
52:00 – צַדִּ֗יק אֹ֖כֵל לְשֹ֣בַע נַפְשׁ֑וֹ – “A tzaddik eats to sustain his soul” (Mishlei 13:25).
53:00 – The blessing “Asher Yatzar” praises the diversity of HaShem.
57:30 – By saying a blessing over every different item we eat, we connect it to its Source and reveal the unity of HaShem within the diversity. Shabbos is the ultimate revelation of HaShem’s unity, therefore eating is very important on Shabbos.
61:00 – Closing blessings.
