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.

Last week I had talked about the actions of the actions of God. Uh and what I tried to demonstrate is that we can to a certain extent obviously because his his actions or the purpose of his actions has an incredible infinite uh idea be behind it and so on. But basically we can and we can we see that basically we can and we can we see that they can be organized into four different areas or sort of like four different actions that we can understand that the rush is focusing on and um I talked about three of them and I'm in the middle of the third action there was an hogakum which is the acts of God as he involves himself in creating the as he involves himself in creating the whole set, the background that people find themselves in of course the entire structure and components of the entire creation. And then there was Hanoga Mishbot which is the acts of God as he involves himself in justice or in carrying out the tikun challenge or program itself. That's the reason why man was created. That's the reason why man was created. And then with the last one I talked about is a very powerful very great action that in many ways is defies our understanding and that's what I want to talk about today hopefully I can finish this today and uh try to talk about the hogus kates what takes place at the end of time because that has its own special series
