אשרי העם ידעי תרועה ה’ באור פניך יהלכון: תהלים פ”ט
“Happy is the people that knows the shofar’s blast, Hashem, in the light of Your countenance they shall go.” (Tehillim/Psalms 89:16)
00:00 – PARAGRAPH 1. Bas Pharaoh (daughter of Pharaoh) refers to intellectual pursuit that ignores the existence of Hashem and therefore is not דעת (Torah wisdom). When the angel Gavriel plunged a reed into the sea it became the city of Rome. How Bas Pharaoh affected Shlomo HaMelech (King Solomon).
28:11 – Question and discussion: what is the definition of extraneous “philosophy” in Rabbi Nachman’s teachings?*
35:56 – PARAGRAPH 2. The soul gives vitality to the body.
40:28 – PARAGRAPH 3. The soul is renewed through sleep.
45:33 – PARAGRAPH 4. There are different kinds of sleep, beyond the simple understanding of going to sleep at night. Studying the Torah in the plain meaning of the words, without delving into deeper levels, can be a form of rejuvenation for the soul.
(PARAGRAPH 5 was not covered in this shiur.)
46:50 – PARAGRAPHS 6-7. Faithful business activity done according to monetary law is a form of restfulness and refreshment for the soul.
