Ve Heherim 5718

The Alef Kabbala Group (17 April 2012) studied a discourse which was said on the final day of Pesach in 1958. The Haftorah on this day (outside Israel)concerns the coming of the Messiah and states that G-d will 'split the River into seven channels' (Isaiah 11:15). The discourse compares the withdrawal of the waters and revelation of land during Creation, the Splitting of the Sea at the time of the Exodus from Egypt, and the future Splitting of the River. These all concern the relationship between the physical realsms and the spiritual.
