Gate of Unity & Faith [Chassidut 201]

What is this Course? Mystical Dimensions of Torah This course introduces essential Hassidic teachings on the inner-dimensions of Torah. The lessons are taken from the text of the classic work, "The Gate of Unity and Faith," by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi (1745-1813). The primary theme you will explore in this part is the answer to a major paradox: how can a physical universe (having natural laws and competing forces of good and evil) be reconciled with the principle that it has no independent existence of its own, and it is actually nullified to the Divine creative life-force that continuously brings it into existence from nothing?
