Tanya with Rochel Schmukler
Tanya Chapter 2 part 1. There's something actually G-dly within you. Will you ever be the same?
Now, we encounter our second soul, which is described as "truly a part of G-d above." This soul is "blown" into us from the very innerness of G-d Himself. The Jewish person originates within the Divine thought, essentially a sample of the Divine "inner experience," and is called a child of Hashem, emerging from His wisdom which is inseparable from Himself, as Maimonides teaches. Let's compare this teaching with what we learn in Kabbalah, which seems to challenge the notion that Hashem and His Knowledge are one. Delving into the profound insights of Rabbi Moshe Cordovero, we discover that indeed, there is no disagreement.
