Description

Sixth Perek, 15th Torah. When involved in the dikdukim (fine details) of halacha, we are part of the big flame of holy desire for Hashem. Amalek wants us to feel like we are separated from the whole. Tzaddikim can move easily from bigness to smallness. There has to be a separator between the big concepts and the details to allow us to focus on one without being distracted from the other. The big people do not need a separator. Doing birurim (clarifications) of halachic details refines, purifies, and uplifts life. Tzaddikim make shidduchim between the olam haelyon (upper world) and the olam hatachton (lower world).
