We explore the Maor Vashemesh's original thesis splitting of mitzvot aseh vs lo saaseh in terms of the emotional attachment associated with negative commandments...How could the negative connect us in any way to the Divine?

Podcast: Maor Vashemesh defines deveykut as access to Mochin Ila'in which is only possible through the attachment of Tefilah. The "residue" that follows when back in the real world ("shearis Mochin") gives him the ability to put into action the product of the inspiration. Punning on the word "beasamecha" as things that are "samui" hidden from view...the thoughts and inner work not open for scrutiny...even when performing mitzvot publically.

The Tshuous Chen reads the war as an inner battle against two types of attacks: those projected onto the "enemy" from ones own sins and others from true wicked enemies.

The Degel uses Kabbalistic references to describe the actors in the mitzvah, the nest, the chicks/eggs and the mother bird. Each represents the hidden divine and the potential for rescuing the soul trapped in the grips of materialism or even worse addiction.
