Dedicated in the loving memory of Reb Menachem Nochum ben Reb Moishe Yitzchok Preger In tribute to his yartzeit on 21 Tamuz.
Dedicated by David & Eda Schottenstein in loving memory of Alta Shula Swerdlov and in the merit of Yetta Alta Shula Schottenstein
On 23 Tamuz, 1570, one of the greatest mystics in Jewish history, Rabbi Moshe Cordovero, known as the Ramak, passed away. At his funeral, he was eulogized by his student and contemporary, the greatest Kabbalist, the Arizal, Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, who spoke about the reason the righteous experience death.
The class dissects the meaning behind this eulogy of the Arizal and gives perspective on how to appreciate the underlying mechanisms behind world events and our life experiences. It also relates an incredible story about a meeting between the legendary Reb Michael Ber Weissmandel and the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe after the Second World War.
Part of the class is based on Likkutei Sichos vol. 24 Ki Seitzei, analyzing the eulogy of the Arizal.

Questions on Shiur
Reb YY,
I haven't heard the shiur yet. However, I looked through the curriculum and have a number of questions. If in fact these questions or some of them are addressed during the shiur then you could make note of that.
1. In listing the 4 individuals who died without sinning why does the Gemara list father and son as well as the inconsistency that by two it lists ben and the other two it lists the person the father of so and so...?
2. The Gemara mentions six individuals who the angel of death had no dominion over. However, Rabbah is not mentioned and the Gemara Elsewhere says about Rabbah,"Lo pasik pumei m'girsa ad she'malach hamaves lo hayah yishlot bei?"
Thanks,

Re: Questions on Shiur
Perhaps we can answer your questions as follows:
1. In general, naming with two generations is more accurate. As for the switching from ben to av (son of to father of), it appears that when the father of the individual is of greater stature, ben (son of ) is used. When the son of the individual is of greater stature, then av (father of) is used. [Aye, this raises another question- shhh! ]
2. After the Gemara lists the six individuals, it continues that they died with the kiss of G-d. They were holding on a level where regardless of whether they were engaged in Torah Learning or not, the the angel of death had no dominion over them. By King David we also are taught that he learned Torah constantly on Shabbos so that the angel of death would not have dominion over him, however the crafty angel made a distraction to stop King David from learning. A similar incident might have occured for Rabbah, and neither David Hamelech or Rabbah died from the kiss of G-d, the requirement to be listed among those six.
Brocho V'hatzlocho!
