Audio – Lessons in Tanya 82

Beginning of Chapter 43. We continue to focus on the notion of fear/awe of Gd. This section goes deeper into the distinction between “lower” fear and “upper” fear. Additionally, once we suggest that fear/awe are experienced in two different modalities, he circles back to love of Gd, suggesting a similar dichotomy between this worldly love (Ahavat Olam) and “great” love (Ahavah Rabba). We also discuss how these categories are part of a continuum as it relates to our spiritual growth.

Audio – Lessons in Tanya 53

End of Chapter 32. We discuss how to be both loving of our fellow while also potentially feeling hatred. We focus on the need to be close and caring of most to potentially bring them back to the path of spiritual growth and Torah observance. I reflect on how this latter complexity of love and hate living together in a person is about hating the action but finding the “good heart” that exists in most, while also acknowledging that there are situations when this would be almost impossible to do.
