Da’at Tevunot Class Notes 6-24-09
Jun 24th, 2009 by Rabbi Simcha Weinberg in Spiritual Growth
We began on the bottoms of pages 20-24 in The Knowing Heart
The Neshama/Soul did not ask anything about the Sechel/Intellect’s previous introduction, and did not even ask why another introduction was necessary.
The Sechel introduces essential concepts:
Yecholet: Ability
Chuko: God’s Nature and The Nature of God’s Tov/Good
Chochma: Wisdom as applied to creations. Lower level than Yecholet/Chuko
Tzitzum/Constraint is taught as “K’eeloo” – As IF – it is not reality. The nature of the world is a full expression of Hashem’s Tov and Shleimut. (See Sefer Hakelalim : Rishonim #2, Klalei Sefer Milchemet Moshe Klal#2)
Ratzon: Divine (Unlimited) Will
Machashava is NOT Wisdom/Chochma it is a higher level to express Ratzon.

If our nature is a full expression of God’s Shleimut, and our “imperfect”- or rather lacking- state only comes from the fact that we perceive ourselves as lacking, it is even more incredible that God allows us to make the choice to sin.
Sarah – thank you for the beautiful comment.
