Shalom. Welcome. Tonight we will learn about the integration of the male and female minds, as they are described in the Otzerot Haim of Rabbi Chaim Vital. These two power centers create awareness called Da’at, or ‘Awareness of Knowledge’ as it flows to us, and through us. Men and women contain both these powers. Their integration happens in Da’at. Chochman, Wisdom, the masculine power, is called thought which is hidden, defined by many as the power to hide. Bina, understanding, is the heart’s ability to understand a thought, and process ideas into language, or understand one thing within another, or from another.
The powers are blended in each person. They emerge as the blending of two of God’s names. They are at the root of heaven. They are ‘called upon’ at the moment of reciting the Shema Yisrael prayer. And much more.
Come join us on Webyeshiva.org, Jeruslaem 8pm.
