    Spiritual Kneading


    "ואח"כ בחי' הלישה והוא שנותן מים בקמח לחברם לעשות גוף אחד ועיסה אחת. וכך צריך לעורר את האהבה לדבקה בו ית' ולהיות משוך אחריו כמים שלא יהי' בבחי' פירוד ח"ו."




    These are the words of the Baal HaTanya in Likkutei Torah Behar (page 40), as quoted in the PDF curriculum below the video. It seems to me that this is describing a spiritual experience of arousing the love and connection to Hashem, that one should be drawn to Him like water and not separated from Hashem. He should knead all parts of himself connecting them to Hashem without any separation. I do not see here any hint that this is describing the style of learning, focus on the underlying, general principles of Torah?
