    Knowing your spouse...?

    "you can't fully know your spouce... If you say u do, it's the end of the relationship".. 

    What about "והאדם ידע את חוה"?   He knew her (I know the interpretation, but the literal words say he knew her)

    Learning Basi Ligani 5721 with your recording.
    You just mentioned that the marriage ring is the step of tzimtzum.  Is there a connection between the finger of the Kallah filling the space of the ring and the the Kav enteing the mokom Cholol?

    They said the shem mefurash in the mikdash not only on YK. 

    Another kasha: Moshe killed mitzry with shem hamefurashal. Was that Yom Kippur?

    Chasidus would say based on the alter Rebbe's vort 19 kislev 5669, discussed in your 24 teves 5781 farbrengen, that in atzilus the greatest taanug is doing a favor for others - the same dargah as yom kippur. So moshe then was like Yom Kippur, in the depth of atzelus you feel the need to do a a favor and save another Jew.

    But kepshuto tzarich iyun on the maggid.

      I think your insight is on target, as this is what Yom Kippur is all about -- as we see in the story of the Alter Rebbe going to the young mother on Yom Kippur. And the story in Yuma 47 with the Kohen Gadol on Yom Kippur speaking to the Arab (explained by the Rebbe 19 Kislev 5720, and in my 24 Teves 5781 farbrengen).

      In the beis hamikdash they can say it because it was the link between heaven and earth (cf. Likkutei Sichos vol. 10 about the "neck" of the world.) But on Yom Kippur, the entire nation can hear it and experience it, as we say in the avodah of YK.

    The kohen Godol had to be married to show

    That ruchnious must be connected to gashmius. 

    But, he was doing the Avodah in the Beis Hamigdash. That had to be made exactly physically according to the Divine blueprint. Exactly a certain size,  certain materials,  etc.  Also his begodim,  and the korbonos had to be physically exactly a certain way.

    Why weren't all those exact specifications without which he couldn't do the avoda sufficient to connect ruchnious with  gashmius? 

    Although there were certain prerequisites,  we don't see that Mrs Kohen Godol had to be a certain size, type etc.

    Explains why people let personal attacks and offenses destroy them, their relationships, etc.  If we are one, what does it matter?
