The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Shais Taub’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

welcome to weekly text-based Tanya we are on chapter 47 chapter 47 is a continuation of 46. it really is a continuation um some chapters bring out new ideas since chapter 41 we've been speaking about awe and love and various meditations to induce various levels and types of all in love and each chapter brings a different type and each chapter brings a different type of awe and love chapter 47 isn't bringing out anything new beyond what we were already introduced to in 46 it's uh going deeper so let's just review 46. 47 is a very short chapter I think it's the shortest chapter in Tanya so let's just review 46. in chapter 46 well first of all let me let me quiz you uh since chapter 41 everything we've uh since chapter 41 everything we've been learning is about awe or love so chapter 46 this is you have a 50 50 shot of getting this right with chapter 46 about awe or love whoa everything's always about both so all our love love okay answer one question at a time okay love now what particular type of Love reciprocating reciprocating love okay and reciprocating love means tell me how and reciprocating love means tell me how it works in one sentence how does it work was it forgetting love yeah you love as a response to feeling loved and we said it's a really Nifty trick because it's built in it's the nature of the human heart no no I'm sorry it is kalev uhm alponim Kane just like water reflects a face back to a face the face that the water reflects to you is the face that's looking at it so too the heart mirrors back the emotions that are projected toward it so when you feel loved you feel loving toward the one who is making you feel loved
