The answer is as followed. Mo...This is no big deal. The answer is as followed. Moshe Rabbeinu brought the torah into this world. Before that Hakadosh Baruchu was in charge of the otiot. Even the Avot who learned torah did so in another form. They had learn it in shamayim whatever that means. It was the zchus of Moshe that brought the torah down to quantifyable and spellable halachot. Now we are in charge of the otiot.<BR/><BR/>Then it is said that the Rashbi brought down a chiddush. The Zohar with its perush on the torah from the perspective of other olamot and the decriptions thereof. I once heard the question with its answer of how is it that the Rashbi was able to bring down the Zohar? Rabbi Akiva his master who alone was able to enter the pardes and return intact did not merit this. The answer that I heard was that he was sitting on the shoulders of a giant. This giant was Rabbi Akiva. This may or may not answer the yoridos hadoros question.<BR/><BR/>Then you have the Ari and the Baal Shem Tov with their new dimension revalations. So Breslov claims that Rav Nachmans torah is also on the level of chiddush. <BR/><BR/>This does not mean that there were not other tzaddikim of previous generations who had reached these hasagas or even greater. It just means that they were the first to bring them down for other people to comprehend.<BR/><BR/>Some Sulamnicks say that Rav Ashlag was a chiddush. No big deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
