Thanks Gianni!

What do you mean by opposite work?

[Greg]

Hi Gianni,

Is Lo Lishma to Lishma in every degree, and then it resets back to Lo Lishma when we advance, meaning that we must then put in the necessary effort with prayer(s) before the prayer in the next degree, or are we in Lo Lishma until the end of the correction?

What is meant by “her” in “For her sake” or “Not for her sake”?

Thanks!

Greg

Hi, I am a KabU member, I’m in my first round of Young Group and think knowing some Hebrew will help my progress some…

Thank you, Gianni, for all you do for friends near and far.

Good Morning, I have been travelling, and reading articles…often I end up reading several articles because questions are spawned from the original article I was reading, so forgive me for being full of questions today.

A friend and I are reading Baal Ha Sulam’s #1 There is none else besides Him. In the article he says, “hat is, he lacks the strength to observe Torah and Mitzvot [commandments] even Lo Lishma [not for Her sake], for only by genuinely overcoming all the obstacles, above reason, can he observe the Torah and Mitzvot.

Yours truly, did not know what Lo Lishma and Lishma meant so I jumped onto article the Rabash Article 23 What Beginning in Lo Lishma Means in the Work.

Here is my two part question:

In the Rabash article one of the discernments in Lo Lishma is 2. One who studies in order to annoy. What is meant by annoy? Is this a translation limitation?

In the first article what is meant by “Not for her Sake” as opposed to “For her Sake?” Who/what is the “her?”
