Lesson Highlights

• The energy of Shabbat is rooted in the Thirteen Attributes
• The Attributes are the Creator's way of fostering our protection
• When we adopt the Thirteen Attributes we mirror the Creator's behavior toward us
• Shabbat's positive energy has the power to connect us to Binah
• The negative side of Shabbat attempts to keep us connected to Malchut
• Shabtai (translated Saturn) is the negative energy force of that time period called Saturday
• Saturn is surrounded with seven rings that prevent energy from penetrating and symbolize the klipot that want to disturb our connection to Shabbat
• Most of the world connects to the One Percent, the Malchut of Saturday
• The conscious choice to connect to the positive energy of Shabbat
• Lighting Shabbat Candles: igniting the energy of soul mates and the blending of male and female energies
• Looking for soul mates rather than for body mates
• The more we meditate on the 72 Names, the less vulnerable we will be to fall
• True soul mates do not drain each other
• The difference between Hebrew and Aramaic
• We use Aramaic when we need to receive more light such as before opening the Ark
• Kadish, twice light, signifies our elevation to another level
• Secrets of the song "Bar Yochai" 
• "Good" or "very good"
• The Cave of Peki'in: a special cave where Moses and Rav Shimon bar Yochai received hidden knowledge
