“It Don't Amount to a Hill of Beans!” p: 72


AyinBase with R' Paltiel Tuesday 2 Iyar 5772  

Page 72 –Below the middle of the page (line starts, 'vezeh hu inyan....') For text, see link top right of the blog. Or for text right click here.

Avraham said to G-d, “you haven't given me anything unless you give me the place of the mikdash/sanctuary/temple!” The world by itself is nothing to him without the essence which gives it significance.

Later G-d said, “can I conceal this from Avraham?” One meaning here is that Avraham is above the creation.



Concealment is eliminated from the order of creation (seder hishtalshalus), since there will be recognition of essence and nothing concealed.

Avraham avinu had the work/service of bringing into revelation the yichud pnimi de avah – meaning where the level of binah gets the whole chochmah. For this he went through much service and many tests. The giving of Torah started with him... drawing revelation of Essence into the world, till it becomes the reality of the world itself...
