Samach Vav: Az Yashir, Part 5: Three Tzimzumim within the Mind of the Teacher
In order to teach the Talmid, the Rav must 1) identify and isolate from his own transcendent Sechel a concept that would be suitable for the diminutive status of the Talmid, 2) reduce, condense and simplify the idea such that it is within the range of the intellectual faculties of the Talmid, and 3) further condense the Sechel into language that could be understood by the Talmid.
