Torah – niglah and nimshal to ain sof

Concrete halacha and spiritual counterpart            body and soul

3 avadim:

Eved Caanani   - Chazal: didn’t hire an worker, hired a boss –

laws so strict – eved gets better food blanket, pillow

Eved Ivri     6 yr contract

Amah Ivri      6 yr contract

2 levels of consciousness – nefesh Elokis & nefesh behamis (not allowed to harm animal, halachos re; it)

Sig Freud – only one level

Some err & ask “what’s wrong with me?” - send soldier to front lines, send dr to hospital to help

Soul came down to help and refine the nf’b

Birur & tikun – cuz you’re good

Atzilus – hi’est, 1st universe of H’      100% oneness w/H”    all souls come from there       100% refined fr the ultimate refinement      why did it have to be refined?       Every soul is in atzilus – no matter what each day – don’t think you’re a liar

Chida Spain   1800’s     diff nusach      “she is still pure   instead    should say ‘ you have given me a pure soul”             Sidder has 1st nusach.   Cuz can say in morn can say modeh    “tahara hi”    world of atzilus     divine light in this world      nefesh elokis

World of chaos – nekdos were fragmented    came fr that olam ha tikun

Nefesh behaimah – beast emotions – how incredible animals are

What the eyes are able to see.

Atzilus – oneness

Beria – separation

One who has a bigger nefesh behaimah = more tools

“Modeh ani – perhaps we can repeat it cuz it doesn’t use H’s name

Each man has diff nef beh - one who conquers    should have said evil inclination -    no what makes powerful is one who can overcome his own - “kodesh es yitzroh”

What is main avoda?   Where you see the most resistance

Rashab:   tikkun of neshamos – why still need to accomplish – how know? – if easier us’ly already tikun, if very diff/obstacles us’ly sign this is imp’t mission in life – pushback – this is where I need to go!   Doing something right! That’s why it’s there.

Story : diamond cutter/dealer came yrly for ytov to R Rashab    best diamond, give to Rebbe for his tzedekas.   R Monye Munyinson, ehrilicha Yid, chashuv, refined, stature.   Came to yechidus 1920 his. in Rostov on Dan River. Simple yid w/rebbe fro long time, left, then R Munyinson went for a short time and left.   Felt bad a bit – don’t hold grudge, after Ytov shared w/Rebbe. Silent. Yechidus over, takes out diamonds – pts to Rebbe, “this is something special”   gave value of $,   Rebbe – icks up, examining “I don’t see the dazziling beatuty”      pts out qualities of the diamond     unique properties     rebe scrutizinies, I don’t see        youneed to be an expert, what can I tell you.       Rebbe   when one understands a neshama one also has to be an expert, you may be lacking some knowledge – got to theknow the neshamea of the person ie tahara hi

Perhaps we could repeat "modeh ani..." cuz it doesn't use Hashem's name?

Modern day slavery
.Modern people look at slavery with disdain. The founders of America had slaves. Yet perhaps a top football player, etc., with a multi-million contract is just as much tied to his master!. He can even be traded away!
