The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
Okay, friends. Welcome. Good to see everybody back. Hope everyone had a nice Yom Tov. We're last time was good. We finished perek bais, which was the sfira. Perek bais was examining the sfira of kesser. And tonight, we begin chachma. Kesser is synonymous with das, de'ah. Now, we're going to go to chachma. Heych Yeah. >> What do you say? Chachma, bina, das, and bina. Das, chachma, bina. >> Yeah. Cha um kesser >> Someone's got to rename Chabad to like >> [snorts] >> Yeah. Now, let's see. Let's see chachma. Cuz perek gimmel is about chachma and perek dalet is about bina. Okay? So, kesser is das. Hinei ha chachma ha aliyona prusa al kol ha nimtza'im kulam. Behold, the celestial supernal wisdom is spread over all of creation. Meaning God's chachma is spread and apparent uh over everything that exists. Meaning spiritual matters, spiritual entities, and physical entities. Kulam, all of them. Im hayos ein alemes viniskova niskovim im hayos. Although it's hidden and very lofty. Rav Goldberg explains the chachmas haborei is recognized in all of his Mason even though inherently it's very uh hidden and lofty. But still as hidden as it is Hashem did not withhold man's ability to try to probe and understand it. Therefore, the scientists are always finding finding deeper deeper wisdom and greater Hakma. So but we can't get to its essence. We can't cut to the core of it. The Aleho Nema regarding Hakma David Amalek says Marabu Masacha Shem How great are your acts Hashem Kulam B'Hakma Asisa which is referring to this sphere of Hakma.
