Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Last Essays Number 5 “Why is it crucial to Study all Jewish Law”

A New Tanya class By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz “Why is it crucial to Study all of Jewish Law before you pass away” Tanya Last Essays Number 5 The Alter Rebbe is going to explain the reason why by studying Jewish Law even of Law that might not apply or perhaps never even happen we are elevating the holy sparks of תהו. The Alter Rebbe explains that anything that is forbidden according to the Torah even a small sin receives its life force from the קליפות other wise it would not exist. Even If the prohibition never happened the source for it’s possibility exists in the world of the kelipot. Even sins that never happened or never will happen is still rooted in חכמה עילאה that was all given to Moshe Rabeinu at Mount Sinai as the Talmud says שכל תלמיד ותיק עתיד לחדש was given to Moshe Rabeinu at Sinai as well as all the hypothetical questions of Rabbi Yermiya as well as the hypothetical questions of a sleeve over the first born as the Torah that is from חכמה עילאה has with in it אין סוף as the Zohar says אבא יסד ברתא from חכמה עילאה it goes in to Malchus & Torah is פה a reference to Malchut & from there it goes into בי״ע. The kelipot receive their life force from the אחורים of the ten holy Sefirot, specifically from the garments of the ten Sefirot of בי״ע more specific from the garments of יצירה & עשיה. When you learn Halacha with Speach & thought the Kelipot are separated from the Kedusha. How come the Torah itself did not separate the Kelipah out? The Alter rebbe brings the Talmud Nedarim page 81 side 1 that the reason the Torah is not handed over automatically as they have not made the blessing before they studied. The mystical interpretation is: Beracha means to draw down a reference to drawing down the infinite light into the Torah. When we study Torah we draw down the infinite light into the torah & that has the power to elevate the sparks of the subject we are learning about even if what we are learning did not or will not exist. The drawing down happens when your דיוקן העליון your image above studies what your studying down here in its source בנוקבא דזעיר אנפין דבי״ע. This is the reason why every נפש רוח ונשמה has to study all 613 commandments in thought speech & action on the level of פשט רמז דרוש וסוד to elevate all 288 sparks if we don’t accomplish our mission we need to come back in another גלגול to complete the task. When moshiach arrives & we will have finished the elevation of the holy sparks so the main study of Torah will be in the positive commandments to elevate the נפש רוח ונשמה higher & higher to the infinite light. We will also study the Torah of the 365 negative commandments in the source which is גבורות דקדושה to sweeten them with the חסדים of the 248 positive commandments to unify them together. Hence the Torah is everlasting in general & even specifically all the Mitzvot even those that might not apply as they are all part of the one Torah & have a place in the ה גבורות דקדושה like they 365 negative precepts as they are the blood that gives life force to the vessels of זעיר אנפין.
