What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mendel Kessin’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
Okay. So the Ram Khal now is going to begin with the components of the brio and I thought it would be uh interesting just to give a certain introduction to get a much greater appreciation. He's now going to go into when when God created the universe or the whole creation actually what are the components of the creation and to a certain extent what are the functions of these components you know but I think it's it would be worthwhile to give some type of an introduction uh it's cabalistic by the way but I uh it's cabalistic by the way but I think you guys can handle it of certain ideas which I think is very uh uh introductory and important to get into that Okay. Mhm. So, uh I would I'd like to begin by an understanding that fundamentally there are different realities that are created. Okay? And in a certain sense they are divided. So I I'm going to do that. The divided. So I I'm going to do that. The first reality clearly is the reality of God. It's the reality of whoever he is which is completely beyond us. We have no idea uh who he is and so on. So I call that musoi god in his essence of whoever that is whoever he is whatever he is which is a complete unknown. So let's look at that as the first reality. No one knows what that is. No no being knows what god is in terms of himself even nobody.
