Tomer Devorah - Middah 11: Relationships Start Where Obligations End

What’s said in this shiur

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

on our journey through Tomer Devorah of Ramak, Rabbi Moshe Cordovero, discussing the 13 elements of Hakadosh Baruch Hu's um attributes that he has decided to deal with the world through those midot, through those attributes. Obviously, we discuss in the onset of this discussion that Hakadosh Baruch Hu does not have any midot that we could understand. Let machshavah t'fisah b'chlal says the Zohar Hakadosh is in part of Patah Eliyahu that people uh do say before t'filah. It's part part of the Zohar. And it says, "There's no person that could understand, no human mind could understand Hakadosh Baruch Hu divine beginning of hakikah." Says that even malachim don't have a clue as to where Hashem is, which means uh it it it it's a homiletic way of saying that they don't understand the essence of Hakadosh Baruch Hu. The Zohar says there, "Let l'Hashem yedi'ah." Hashem has no name that's known to us. So, obviously, the question is, first of all, we have so many names that we count as seven names that you can't erase because they're considered Shemot Hakodesh, Shem Havayah, of course, the name of Adnut and Yud and Hey and Elokut and Elokim and Tzva'ot and So, what happened to those? And obviously, what the Zohar means is the name is the definition of of essence. And essence of Hashem, the real essence of Hashem, we have no idea. Nobody
