Sheluchin 4 – Souls Originate from Kisey HaKavod – Place and Above Place – Every Jew Is a Messenger – Why Did HaShem Create Angels? Bechira – Free Will – Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon.
Hilkhos Sheluchin 4 is based on 2Likutey Moharan 1.
00:00 – PARAGRAPH 4. הַֽתְשַׁלַּ֣ח בְּרָקִ֣ים וְיֵלֵ֑כוּ וְיֹֽאמְר֖וּ לְךָ֣ הִנֵּֽנוּ – “Will you send forth lightning bolts so that they should go and say to you, ‘Here we are’?” (Iyov 38:35).
02:00 – The Kisey HaKavod is above the concept of מקום – Place. It is the origin of the souls of Am Yisrael. Connecting with the Kisey HaKavod requires a certain level of Sheleymus HaDaas and Sheleymus HaTefilah. A non-Jew cannot elevate the aspect of Place to Above Place. A child cannot serve as a messenger.
06:30 – ***When a Jew who is shomer mitzvos does activities that are not specifically mitzvos without transgressing the Torah, then even his mundane actions are elevated to the aspect Above Place.
11:20 – Q&R about a child or a Jew who is not shomer mitzvos.
12:20 – PARAGRAPH 5. The purpose of every Jew is to be a shaliach for HaShem. Each of us is on a mission. מָה־אָשִׁ֥יב שֹׁלְחִ֖י דָּבָֽר – “…what shall I reply to Him that sent me?” (2Shmuel 24:13).
17:00 – The names of the angels reflect each one’s particular missions.
18:00 – NOTE – During the month of Elul there is a custom to read through the Tikkunei Zohar.
20:30 – Q&R about Chanoch becoming an angel.
22:00 – HaShem is running every aspect of the world. Wherever HaShem sends an angel, HaShem is already there. HaShem doesn’t need angels – they didn’t even exist until the second day of creation.
25:00 – The main reason HaShem sometimes uses angels is to provide situations where people have free will. HaShem constricts His Presence to make room for people to have free will. Reference to Likutey Moharan 49 and reference to Likutey Moharan 64.
31:20 – If HaShem revealed how He supervises every detail of the world, there would be no free will and no world. Everything that exists only because HaShem is constricting Himself.
33:40 – NOTE – The word הטבע is begematria אלוקים. Angels are sometimes called אלוקים.
37:20 – NOTE – טבע is נס תמידי.
38:30 – Q&R – A recommended commentary on the Tikkunei Zohar is מתוק מדבש.
43:00 – The angels are jealous of people but do not experience jealousy of one another.
45:00 – NOTE on Sipurey Maasios – In the story of “The Missing Princess”, the one who ultimately rescues the princess is called the Sheni LeMelech, which refers to the Tzaddik Emes.
49:00 – Closing blessings.
