Who is God? Part 1

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.

you know last week I mentioned in the beginning of the shear certain ideas about God and also the barriers that he created which the task of course is from man is to remove those barriers you know I mentioned the first barrier the concept that we are in other besides God velocity you know that was the first parent second barriers even if your spiritual God is not spiritual so that's spiritual God is not spiritual so that's a barrier to experiencing God third barrier was of course physicality you know and I mentioned another barrier was of course what's called as öiím ah well the the evil of the Sutton and that gives us all kinds of drives and temptations and so on you know so those are really the barriers that God created for us to remove them so to speak and get back to him and I mentioned also that there are periods of time that are that there are periods of time that are when each of these barriers are removed and so that's a very important part of the divine agenda the divine plan itself you know but I was thinking that because there are people that want to know well what else about God because a lot of people in a certain sense enjoyed some of the ideas that I spoke about this week you know so what I'd like to this week you know so what I'd like to do for this year is to give a sheer about who is God which I gave many years ago long time ago and I think you know there's a larger audience I think that really never heard that Shia so I'd like to go into it you know extensively of who really God is you know what's interesting is he is the central idea of the whole Judaism you know and when when
