The nefesh Hachayim says torah is a nivra. Is this a machlokes in the commentators or is there two bechinos? ANd how did you answer if klal yisrael is also echad why do you need a levush?

In the world of spies
One never knows if the person he is sending is a spy loyal to him, or is a double agent, a spy for the other side who will tell the opponent what the person who thinks he is loyal to him is doing.

Ate there "double agents" in ruchnious, those spies we think are loyal to us who are actually trying to trip us up?

Question for Rabbi YY
It says kudhs brich hu etc. torah and yisrael are echad. Torah is also a briah and klal yisrael is a briah, how does the levush of torah help to become one if it is also a nivrah and if it does help because kudsha etc echad so klal yisrael is also echad so why do you need the levush?

The word 'subsumed' to teich 'lchichlall b'echad" brings out the fact that we search for a word in English for this concept of going from finite to being absorbed or included into the infinite. The concept seems a bit beyond the ability of words to describe.

I did not fully get the answer of the Baal Hatanya. If the question was how could he give chiyus, if he is muvdal from everything (which I did not really understand the question because if he is separate from everything he can do anything and therefore he could give chiyus-perhaps this is part of my lack of understanding) then how does ratzo veshov answer this question. If there is a point of interaction then how at the same time could he be muvdal?
