Why is the idea of sefirot not shituf? You deleted my comment after he calls me a kofer and a chrisitan. This is a theocratic dictatorship with an adgenda. No point in discussion. I am done with this. |

Why is the idea of sefirot not shituf? @DoubleAA your insults simply reveal your lack of background here. Even an Am HaEretz can call someone a Christian. I am open to other sources yet outside of a few anti Kabbalists, the majority of Frum Jewry ie: Chassidic & Sephardic and even many famous Litvish Gedolim hold of the Arizals kabbalah and agree that Hashem manifests in this world through sefiros. The Alter Rebbe in Lekutei Torah says that when we say Atah (You) that is the most personal you can get and that is Atzmus Ein Sof. We bless HAshem that he should manifest through Shem Havayeh and reveal himself in the specific bracha. |

Why is the idea of sefirot not shituf? @DoubleAA The word Echad is one with the potential for something else to exist. Yachid is singular and unique. How else would we arrive at the word Achdus? We say Hashem Echad because we are declaring that Hashem is unique and singular even in the creation and is found everywhere as one. Please go review Rashi's commentary on the names of Hashem and even Rambam in Guide to the Perplexed (Vol. I, Chapter 61) agrees that Hashem manifests through dif. names |

Why is the idea of sefirot not shituf? @DoubleAA Before creation there was only Hashem. A supreme and simple being that is Yachid, singular. He created something out of nothing ie: creation which in the word he is Echad. Grammatically speaking Echad is a composite unity of many things. In this case it means G-d is one with these many things. This part of the discussion is a topic unto itself. Since there is 1 G-d why does he have some many names? The answer is that each name serves a purpose in a different situation and the sefirot do the same thing. Why does Shem Haveyeh call himself Shakai to Avra(ha)m? in 17:1? |

Why is the idea of sefirot not shituf? @DoubleAA Names of God are tools for Hashem to interact with the created world. YHVH can not be compared to Elokim, or Shakai, or Aleph Hey Yud Hey which is the highest name. None of these are even a grain of sand on the beaches of earth compared to Ein Sof. So in short I am saying that Hashems names are tools and they do not reflect Hashems Essence because each one is limited in a certain way. |

How can we strengthen belief in the coming of Moshiach and the end of our exile? That doesnt mean that we dont know what will happen. That means that we can not claim to know the timeline of Moshiach since in the very same chapter he discuss multiple events that will happen when Moshiach comes. |

Teachings of Chabad (Lubavitch) - controversial or not? @ShmuelBrin All that the A.R. is saying is that on a personal level we follow Kaballah and not Halacha when Kaballah is more machmir but we dont force this on the tzibur as a whole. It is known that the Shulchan Aruch was for Klal Yisroel and the Siddur is for the Chassidi so this is why the Siddur is more machimir on Halacha and takes Kabbalah into account more. |

From which side does Klipa come? @ba It's in the back in Marei Mkomos for Parshas Kedoshim. Likutei Torah does not have added commentary by the Rebbeim dirrectly inside the maamarim. hebrewbooks.org/… |

Best practices for checking a Mezuzah No. I implied that if you have a hallway door that leads to other rooms including the bathroom and the mezuzah is visible from inside the bathroom, there are opinions that say that the mezuzah should be covered with a solid case and not a clear one. I edited for clarity. |
