Chapter 66 Episode 2

Rabbi Shulman continues learning Maharal (פרק ס״ו), arguing that the miracles of Yetziat Mitzrayim were aimed at a single telos: that Hashem be *our* God by dwelling among us—“ושכנתי בתוכם.” He develops the Maharal’s framework of עילה/עלול (Giver/recipient) to show why the tachtonim (humans and the physical world) are the *essential* locus of Divine connection, while even angels are ultimately dispensable intermediaries. Rabbi Shulman then connects the historical “withdrawal” and “return” of the Shechinah to human sin and human righteousness, and explains how the שבע מצוות בני נח function as the bare-minimum structure for being “טוב לשמים וטוב לבריות,” with אבר מן החי serving as a restraint on uncontrolled desire that otherwise cascades into broader עבירות.
