What’s said in this shiur

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

So we're up to page lamid aleph. We're up to perek sheni, that's the second chapter of the book. So the first whole the full first chapter was dedicated to um emulating God's ways and specifically the midos of rachamim based on the yud gimmel midos of rachamim. And we discussed in the context of the yud yud gimmel midos of rachamim uh and different occasions the idea of the sefiros. And um the from this point on the book is going to go into into much into more depth the idea of the sefiros. So this first uh meaning the second chapter is really dedicated to the sefirah of keser. That's the all-inclusive sefirah. That's the first sefirah. That's yeah, that's the first sefirah. And so the the whole chapter, chapter two, is um somewhat lengthy dealing with um the different aspects of of keser. And then from then on the different chapters are going to be dedicated to different of the of the sefiros. The third chapter being hochma, the fourth being bina, and so forth and so on. And the um emphasis is going to be on explaining a bit about the sefirah itself using more of the kabbalistic meanings or explanations of what the sefirah is about. And then again, following suit with what we've seen so far uh with the midos, the author is going to try and show how the deeper teachings of the sefiros can be integrated by us for a better um more Torah-like practical beneficial living. So that's what um Perok Sheini does. Okay? So, he says, "Od li'os od ha'odom domeh l'koinoy b'sod midas hakesser Furthermore, in so far as a person is created in the image of his of of God
