Episode Synopsis

- FOR VAYELECH SHABBAT SHUVA: We come to recognise 2 completely different levels of תשובה‫:‬ בגמרא תשובה מאהבה ותשובה מיראה that are מרומז in the 2 levels רמב״ן identifies of הסתרת פנים‫:‬ הסתר פני רחמים והסתר פני גאולה for הסתר רחמים leaves open only עבודה that is local and religious which has no awareness of overall drive of תקון גאולה and perspective of תשובה as רמב״ם addresses in הלכות תשובה פרק שביעי. That difference and perspective accounts for how it is as ספרונו points out you can arrive at clarity without having the solutions not knowing the חלק המוסתר and being capable of being מקיים here the חיוב בנביא‫:‬ ולא נאמר עוד אלהינו למעשה ידינו — which becomes the only way in which rebuilding would have been possible even immediately after חרבן with the question to יוחנן בן קרח of לא נאמר עוד אלקיה״ו of להלכה making הקב״ה your Witness but as gradually a person gains perspective of פני הגאולה he comes to דרגה of not being בוש about having “no right to be” but rather sees himself as חלק of vision of בשביל ישראל שנקרא ראשית which is the vision of גאולה itself and comes to see the variations of his behaviour as really chaotic and therefore outside of דין that needs to incorporate them into pattern of רע but instead sees them as תוהו themselves and is capable of putting them into מצולות ים ( without this it is a struggle in which people are almost always incapable of changing almost anything with and the very opposite of קרוב אליך הדבר‫ מאוד ‬) which allows him to be זוכה to see the types of patterns in כלל ישראל in others and in himself that is the ultimate אהבה in search of Complete Existence which becomes אהבת השם which becomes תשובה מאהבה and the only תשובה that is קרוב אליך הדבר מאוד!
