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.

So, we are now um dealing with in many ways I mentioned last time that there are many major areas or topics of Hashkafa. I went through a whole series of them and all those topics or categories in many ways can organize all the different ideas that the Ramchal brings down. Okay? Um just to uh mention them again, you know, just to go over it. That there are certain There are categories that encompass the entire area of Hashkafa. The first one is called God, the nature of God. The study of the Ribono shel Olam, who he is, what we know about him and his relationship to this world. Second concept, the category is called man. Who is that individual that God wants Who is that individual that God wants uh to be at a in a future state. Third category, after man is the concept of Olam Haba, the future world. And that's a study of what it is what is the future world um and what a person does there what the whole point of it, what the nature of it is. And uh then I mentioned the concept of what's called Nahama d'Kisufla which is the bread of shame. And that is the whole idea that a person And that is the whole idea that a person has to earn his reward. And uh so that's the whole concept what's called bread of shame, Nahama d'Kisufla, which I spoke about, I gave a whole shiur about that. And as a result of that both the concept of the world of Olam Haba and the concept of bread of shame determines the concept of what the creation will look like in order to bring this about. So, that's again a topic. What exactly is the Briah? The creation.
