Rabbi Yossi Paltiel
Class One: Three levels of Mesiras Nefesh: 1) מסירת נפש בכח- At Mattan Torah through נעשה ונשמע and כפה עליהם הר כגיגית. 2) מסירת נפש בפועל מצד הנשמה- at Chanuka, this sacrifice has an order. 3) מסירת נפש בפועל מצד הגוף- at Purim. This involves הפקר total abandon. This level of sacrifice is the necessary preparation for the receiving of the Torah completely, which is linked to bringing together heaven and earth, with a power which is altogether beyond limit. Two levels: 1) complete hisbatlus, 2) you are a vessel for the light, this last level is the highest level and the vessel for complete acceptance of the Torah at the time of Purim.
Class Two: Three levels 1) for us, 2) for God, 3) to join the two. 1) In Torah 2) learning Torah, 3) In learning Halacha, 4) In Mitzvos, 5) In doing Mitzvos. There's another idea: that we are Bottul not by not existing, but in our existence and form. This is the highest level.
Class Three: Questions and answers. The first three chapters of the Ma'amar are read and each question is answered immediately.
