[21] Laws of Foundation of Torah (Hilchos Yesodei HaTorah) #Torah

[21] Laws of Foundation of Torah (Hilchos Yesodei HaTorah) https://youtu.be/I3R9mkiLlUc How can we begin to grasp the nature of Hashem and the way He interacts with His creation? In this deep exploration of Rambam’s Hilchos Yesodei HaTorah, Chapter 2, Halacha 10, Rabbi Lerner unpacks the profound concept of Divine unity, where Hashem, His knowledge, and His existence are one and the same. The video highlights the fundamental difference between human knowledge and Divine knowledge. Our knowledge is an external entity—we learn, we acquire information, and our internal state changes as we process new realities. In contrast, Hashem does not acquire information; He is the source of all existence. Because He is the Creator, His knowledge is identical to His essence. Rabbi Lerner utilizes classic metaphors, such as an architect visualizing a building before it is constructed, to help us understand how Hashem knows the creation from the inside out. Through this study, we clarify why attributing separate knowledge to Hashem would imply multiplicity or change, both of which are impossible. While these metaphysical concepts are beyond the full capacity of the human heart to grasp, analyzing them brings us closer to a refined understanding of our Creator. This lesson serves as an invitation to contemplate the depth of the Torah and the absolute oneness of Hashem. — How does Rambam define the unity of Hashem? What is the difference between human knowledge and Divine knowledge? Why is Hashem considered the knower, the known, and the knowledge itself? How do the sefiras relate to the concept of Divine unity? Does Hashem change when He gains knowledge? What does it mean for Hashem to be one in all manners of unity? How does the architect metaphor explain Divine creation? - - - - BeEzrat HaShem Learn with Lerner LevLeib@BeEzratHaShem.org Join our FREE online classes every Monday to Thursday night: +1 201-725-3444 | JEW, BE, HOLY | - - - - #Torah, #Tanakh, #God, #faith, #laws, #rabbi, #morals, #ethics, #morality, #jews, #torahLecture, #lawsOfPurity, #LawsofJudaism, #BeezratHashem, #RabbiLevLeibLerner, #LearnwithLerner, #RabbiMizrachi, #HalachosofJudaism, #biblestudy, #selfdevelopment, #selfimprovement, #musarmovement, #lawsforwomen, #lawsofbrachot, #rabbiefraimkachlon, #rabbiyaronreuven, #jewishstories, #shabbatcandles, #torahstudy, #ConvertingtoJudaism, #TorahLaws, #ToviaSinger, #TorahTruth, #Hashem
