<span style="font-family: Gill Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As the Torah relates:</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
“<span style="font-family: Gill Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The earth was
corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God
saw the earth and beheld that it was corrupt, for all flesh had
corrupted its way on the earth. And God said to Noach, “The end
of all flesh has come. The earth is filled with violence because of
them, and so, I will destroy them with the earth....”</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Gill Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When Noach and his
family emerged from the Ark they had built, God formed a new covenant
with them, and hence with all of humanity. He blessed Noach and his
familty and instructed them in the ways of the new order, declaring:</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
“<span style="font-family: Gill Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have now given
you everything... And thus, of the blood or your souls, I will
demand and account...”</span></span></div>

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-family: Corbel, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">you can describe 'being rooted in the essence' – you can't explain or identify 'what the soul receives from being rooted in Essence'. </span></span></span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-family: Corbel, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Inside the text: How is choice involved in the relationship between Essence and the souls of Israel? They represent His pleasure – so how is it choice? It is because Essence itself – is completely separate even from the essential pleasure. So at the level of essential pleasure 'choice' is not a factor – they have a relationship. At actual essence, which is completely removed from qualities and relationship and hence room for 'choice' seem to exist...</span></span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-family: Corbel, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">but in real truth... (which is outside the real of concept/understanding) even the Actual Essence is united with the souls of Israel. </span></span></span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-family: Corbel, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">But now we see a 'change of heart' – 'yes', says the Rebbe, 'what I told you does hold, but still in truth, also the actual element of essence is a place where the souls of Israel are rooted'. </span></span></span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br />

This cannot be understood. </span></span></span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-family: Corbel, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">All we can say is 'the souls of Israel are rooted in Essence, and this does not detract in any way from the pure unity of Essence...!'</span></span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-family: Corbel, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">We're having it both ways, it is His choice, and it is not based on qualities. </span></span></span> </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-family: Corbel, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">When we say in the negative, 'to substitute them with a different nation is impossible' it's because there is nothing there. This is different to what we have been discussing previously of being rooted in His pleasure.</span></span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-family: Corbel, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Ownership is an extension of your own reality.

</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Indeed, even the earliest commentators on the Torah write that the text of the Ten Commandments alludes to all 613 commandments. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The most important allusion to this is that the orignal Hebrew text of the Ten Commandments (as they appear in exodus 20:2 tru 20:13) contains exactly 620 letters. 620 is 7 more than 613. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">According to some Rabbinic authorities, the 7 commandments that complement the 613 commandments given to the Jewish people are the 7 Laws of Bnei Noach, that were given to the first generations of man, beginning with Adam.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
