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.
uh okay yeah so last week I had spoke about uh a topic of why the is rather in a physical world as opposed to a spiritual world I went into that you know but in any case so what Ram is saying is the and he stresses really for saying is the and he stresses really for uh stretch the whole concept that we live in a physical world and obviously the you know like I I said the physical world has its own rules regulations and laws and the spiritual world has it and what the B did which was obviously a tremendous thing is he United a spiritual being together with a physical Universe which is really in physical Universe which is really in many ways uh total contradiction cuz they're just two different laws so how in the world can you have a physical and a spiritual United together each one operating according to its own laws which are many ways contradict the laws of the the physical contradicts the laws of the spiritual and the spiritual contradicts the laws of the physical yet you have two beings that are subject to those laws and somehow there's a unification which is a really many ways unification which is a really many ways an incredible incredible thing and so on you know but in any case what we do see is that there is a uh merger of two beings from two different Realms yeah so the ram says that we see I'm by the way I'm peric do Sim [Music] B but what Ram says that we do see that between the two there's no equality
