Geviyas Chov MeyhaYisomim 4 – Parshas Tetzaveh – Yom Kippur – Chanukah – Ohr HaEin Sof Is Received Through the Tzaddik – Rotzo veShov – Viduy In Front of the True Talmid Chokham – Miracle of Chanukah Oil – Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon.
00:00 – Yom Kippur.
00:00 – Parshas Tetzaveh. וְנֹֽעַדְתִּ֥י שָׁ֖מָּה לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְנִקְדַּ֖שׁ בִּכְבֹדִֽי – “There I will arrange meetings with the children of Israel, and it will be sanctified by My glory” Shemos 29:43, Tetzaveh).
*13:00 – The Ohr HaEin Sof corresponds to נוֹדָ֣ע בַּשְּׁעָרִ֣ים בַּעְלָ֑הּ – “Her husband is known in the gates…” (Mishlei 31:23). Each individual perception of HaShem is received through the Tzaddik Emes.
16:30 – The experience of HaShem cannot be expressed. Emunah is articulated through the reshimu – imprinted memory – of the Ohr HaEin Sof.
*18:50 – The Chanukah lights correspond to the menorah in the Beis HaMikdash.
20:00 – NOTE – “No one” was in the Kadosh HaKadoshim on Yom Kippur – “Lo adam haya” – that is, even the Kohen Gadol was not present, because of his absolute bitul. [need to find source].
21:00 – NOTE from the Bnei Yissachar about Am Yisrael’s experience of HaShem at Kriyas Yam Suf. אז – Alef is the Light of HaShem, Zayin is the entire material world via the 7 days of Creation.
***23:00 – PARAGRAPH 4. Every year, at the time of Chanukah, every Jew has the opportunity to rekindle the light of the Menorah in the Beis HaMikdash. This enables each person to receive an entirely new perception of HaShem.
26:15 – The story of Raba Bar Bar Chana and the oil from the eyeball of the fish.
27:00 – NOTE: “One eye” alludes to the “Eye of HaShem“. “Two eyes” refers to Chokhma and Binah.
28:40 – PARAGRAPH 4.
***31:00 – NOTE: Viduy in front of a talmid chokham does not mean “any talmid chokham” – but refers to someone on an extremely high level – the Talmid Chokham HaEmes.
34:20 – NOTE: כל ישראל ערבין זה לזה וכולם כגוף אחד וכערב הפורע חוב חבירו – Kol Yisrael areyvin zeh le zeh – the soul of every Jew is forever interlocked and interdependent (Ritbah, Rosh Hashanah 29a).
35:30 – NOTE about the lights of Chanukah outshining the holiday lights of the 70 Nations.
36:20 – PARAGRAPH 5. The miracle of oil on Chanukah.
43:00 – NOTE: about Rav Shimshon Ostropoli hy”d: What can possibly be great than the Shem HaEtzem? A repetition of Y – K – V – K. In the revelation of the 13 Midos HaRachamim, Moshe Rabbeinu prayed saying Y – K – V – K twice. The first Shem HaEtzem refers to HaShem’s love for humanity before the sin of Adam. The second Shem HaEtzem refers to HaShem’s love for humanity after the sin of Adam – which is a much higher level because it includes His infinite power to forgive.
47:00 – Two times 26, three times 26, four times 26. [“8 times 8 is ? – need to review this].
49:00 – NOTE about tzedakah and the Ohr HaTzaddik Emes on Chanukah.
51:00 – Closing blessings.
