A New Tanya class By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Tanya: introduction to Shar HaYichud VeheEmunah (Chinuch Katan) Introduction to The Gate of Unity & Oneness of G-D UNITY & ONENESS OF G-D IS KEY TO A LOVING RELATIONSHIP WITH G-D There are Mitzvot we do as Chinuch, same with the mitzvah of Ahava & Yirah. Two levels of of Love. 1. The soul yearns to unite with its creator with joy & pleasure. This is the level of a Tzadik that receives this as a gift for transforming its body & studies lots of Torah & does many Mitzvot it merits a Soul on the level of Neshama. 2. Love thru meditation. A. In general G-D is our life so the way we love ourselves that's how we love G-D. B. Specifically. As great as G-D is G-D showed us tremendous love by reaching out us we will naturally love G-D back. This level is what Moshe tried to train us as outlined in Chumash in Parsha Ekev etc. On this level of love there can be a command from Hashem. As you grow & aim for the high level the lower level of meditation is deeper ingrained & there for you in your lows of the journey of life. As a primer to any love is pure faith in the oneness & unity of G-D. Hence this section of Tanya on the Unity & oneness of G-D & the first that should have been second will talk in depth about love.
