In a nutshell, what did the Alter Rebbe teach us in the first 2 פרקים of שער היחוד והאמונה?

• Hashem is creating everything from nothing constantly with the 10 מאמרות

• Hashem is creating everything from something constantly with the 10 מאמרות

What will a thinking person understand well based on this idea?

• How every נברא is really considered something

• How every נברא is really considered nothing

• How every נברא is really considered everything

• How every נברא is really considered something and nothing

What appears to us to be the reality?

• Every נברא is nothing and has no substance

• Every נברא is something and has substance

• Every נברא is everything and has no substance

• Every נברא is nothing and has substance

Why does it appear to us that every נברא has existence and substance?

• We don't see the כח השם that is creating it

• We don't see the כח השם that is destroying it

• We don't see the כח השם that is very distant from it

• We don't see the כח השם that is observing it

If our _____ would be given permission to see the ________________ of every creation, which comes from ה׳׳s ____________, what would we not see at all?

• hands, physical form, speech

• eyes, spiritual energy, speech

• mind, physical energy, thoughts

• ears, spiritual form, words

Why would we not see the גשמיות of every נברא if our eyes could see the כח השם creating it?

• because the physicality is בטל to the spiritual כח in it

• because the spiritual is בטל to the physical כח in it

• because the physicality is stronger than the spiritual כח in it

• because the spiritual and the physical cannot coexist

What would the physicality of the creation be without the spiritual force in it?

• it would be absolute nothingness like before 6 days of creation

• it would be a physical form without any spiritual energy

• it would be a spiritual form without any physical energy

• it would be a combination of physical and spiritual energy

What fact about reality do we conclude from all this?

• There is truly nothing other than Hashem

• There is truly nothing other than physicality

• There is truly nothing other than spirituality

• There is truly nothing other than creation

• A ray of sunlight

• A drop of water

• A grain of sand

• It is always visible

• It exists far away from the sun, so it for sure exists IN the sun

• It changes color

• It is always warm
