Description

p 171. Only the Torah is yosher (straight). Any other path will not get a Jew to dveykus (bonding) with Hashem. All of the physicality in the Torah is there to bring us to live G-dly lives. Creation naturally brings a chisaron (lacking). The number three is yosher, balance, and the power to hold two extremes together. The Jewish people are the three while the nations of the world are the two extremes. We are called Bnei Yeshurun, the sons of the straight one. Emes (truth) is about wrestling with sheker (falsehood) and difficulty. The Jewish people are the resolution of the contradiction of human existence.
