This is the final class in the series on Basi Legani 5735. It explores how the essence of Judaism--connecting all fragments of our lives with the core and truth of all reality--evolved over three generations, and how it evolves in the daily life of the Jew, as he or she travels from the world of prayer to the world of study and then the world of business.

Three Generations, Three Paradigms 

Basi L'Gani 5735 - Shiur 4 (Final)

The purpose of prayer, indeed of all of existence, is to align the details and fragments of your life with oneness; to anchor your fluctuations in that which never changes; to infuse sanity with insanity; to elevate your mind into the suprarational. This section of the maamar explains the story of the sages dancing with haddasim at weddings. Three generations of sages reflected the evolution of the experience of radical transcendence in a diverse reality.
