נוקבה דתהומה רבה according to ספר הברית – מאמר ט' פרק ד

ב''ה

The explanation of לרוקע הארץ על המים is that there is a large whole at the north of the globe where much of the water that covered the earth descended into  in order to reveal the dry land. This large hole in the middle of the north pole is referred to as נוקבה דתהומה רבה.

This also might be the פרושׁ of יהי רקיע בתוך המים, the רקיע refers to the earth that is in between the waters.  ויהי מבדיל בין מים למים may refer to the water of the oceans on top of the land and the water of the דתהומה רבה underneath the earth. 

This is also the meaning of the מאמר רז''ל that עלום לאכסדה הוא דומה, שלא גמר רוח צפונית, שהוא פתוח. Saying, if there is a god that has power in him, let him come and finish the job. The ר''ת of אלילים is אין יכולים לעשות מחיצה.

When דוד המלך dug the שיתין he reached all the way to the תהומה רבה where שם מ''ב that comes out from ב דבראשית עד ב דבהו that stops the water from coming up from there and flooding the Earth. שם מ''ב here has all the letters except from מ and ה. This is also the secret of תולה ארץ על בלי מה. Since בלי is גמטריא מ''ב and it does not have the letters מ''ה. The earth is on top of this water in the תהומה רבה and stands because on this 'בלי מה'.

I wonder if he will discuss אבנים מפולמות that I've seen as the source of the תהומה רבה in other places...

The 16 expressions of forgiveness

The 16 different expressions of forgiveness, extended explanation. Translation by Rabbi Mendy Greenstein  Kapara - atonement, “atone for your nation Israel. כפרה - כפר לעמך ישראל . When you are in debt to get forgiven for it you need to give a כופר נפש , a payment of your soul. This is  judgment that descends upon you and a difficulty you go through in order to atone. A direct exchange for atonement all at once. Thus, on Yom “Kippurim” we ask for complete forgiveness in the merit the five עינוים afflictions we subject ourselves to.  Slicha - forgiveness, by the golden calf, “and Hashem says, I have forgiven, as you said” סליחה - ויאמר ה׳ סלחתי כדבריך . The idea is forgiveness for now, but the punishment is still in the wings and has not gone away. Even if there is punishment for now, to affect the forgiveness, it is not over. Just as by the golden calf it states וביום פוקדי ופקדתי , “on the day I remember (to punish you for a sin) I remember (to pu...

The concept of רוח מלפני יעטוף - the "wind" in this verse as referring to the נפש אלוקית - the divine soul. In the first chapter of Tanya the verse in Yishayahu 57:16 ונשמות אני עשיתי - "and I have made souls", is quoted as a proof that the soul is actually composed of two. The beginning of this verse states, not quoted directly is, רוח מלפני יעטוף - "a spirit that comes from before me enshrouds you". While this part of the verse might refer to the soul in general, which is divids into two, as the end of the verse continues, " and I have made souls", in the plural, this first part of the verse might also refer to the נפש אלוקית in particular. That is, the concept of רוח.  The word "Ruach" refers to a radiance of divine light of the soul, according to one interpretation in the following Medrash Hagadol (ויגש דף תשנב): Skip the brackets below to get to the relevant quote.

'Ein bal ha'nes makir be'niso' according to the Mittler Rebbe

  'Ein bal ha'nes makir be'niso' means, not that you do not recognize the miracles going on. Rather, it means that you do not know what you did to deserve the miracles that happen to you. Usually, divine response is reciprocal.   However, Hashem also gives constantly even if you did not call to him. This is because of 'Ani Yeshena ve'libi er' - Hashem's 'heart' is awake even though he is, so to spe ak, 'asleep' in the exile. This is the concept of Hashem answering you before you ask - 'terem yikre'u ani e'e'ne.' -Mittler Rebbe Perhaps this is parralleled in the pasuk 'nidrashit le'lo sha'alu, nimtzeti le'lo bikshuni, amarti, heneni, hineni el goy lo korah be'shmi' - I am in answer to those who did not ask for me, found by those who did not search for me, I say, "Here I am! Here I am" to a nation who does not even call in my name.' (Yishaya 65:1)
