Continuing chapter 5 of the Rebbe's maamar, the class explores how Hashem "consulted" with the souls of the Tzadikim before creation, and why the neshama's source only counts if it fulfills its mission down here. We end with a thought to take home about time, place and our importance in the purpose of creation.

The class continues the Rebbe's maamar with chapter 5, sharpening the question of what is higher than the neshama's source, and why a Baal Teshuva can rise above even a Tzaddik. We end again with a question to take home and think about.
