From the courtyard to the king's chamber


Aeter with R' Paltiel 11/13/9 Friday 26 Cheshvan 5770 P:PayVav


Just less than half down the page. Starts, “demitzvah”.


Though the mitzvah has gilui of etzem, but the garment becomes preeminent.


There is a gift from above, but there is a shortcoming. When there is an arousal from below and then a response, there is the impression that the response was in proportion to the arousal/calling from below.


Elokus is an essential truth – it is not a compensation for a shortcoming. Because mitzvah is dressed in a levush that fits with the level below, thus it is a combination of revelation of essence, with consideration for the perspective of the lower world.


Mitzvah comes in a garment, that camouflages the elokus.


He made the world the fit the Torah, not the Torah to fit the world. It appears like mitzvah are done to accommodate the lower level – it has that ingredient.
