Episode Synopsis

- The first pasuk of the parasha incorporates the entire complexity of the thematic elements of משפטים in three parts: the וא"וו of ואלה, the אשר תשים-שולחן ערוך; and the לפניהם ולא לפני עכו"ם. The contrasted וואו to מעשה בראשית and the אלה תולדות השמים והארץ בהבראם expresses the difference in the relationship of ידיעה ובחירה, (i.e. existential result and sequential process, i.e. holistic results and reduced elements, i.e. emergent properties and random processes) between the presence of ברית that links them (this being the essence of ווא"ו החיבור and its connection to יסוד and the actual hook of connection, or phallus as it relates to the ווא"ו of יסוד in its connection to תפארת and זעיר אנפין) or the “Cold Mountain” level of acceptance of one’s role without needing to see an innate connection of the end to the process or the process to the end. This in turn is what requires the creativity of שמיעה which is the תשים that becomes in the end נעשה ונשמע as opposed to the initial pure נעשה which ignores the presence of ברית and the interconnectedness of אלעזר ברי אומר וגו' which is the reason that it cannot be בפני עכו"ם where the essential self-containedness of the process means that it cannot escape the system into the ווא"ו of מה אלו מסיני and thus has no relationship to עולם הבא-תשובה-אמת or anything of ערך, thus ערכאות.
