AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Why does every L'Shem Yichud end b'shem kol Yisrael, in the name of all of Klal Yisrael? No tzaddik is free of chet, so how can a limb that once sinned wear tefillin? The answer brought here is that the mitzvah is connected to kol Yisrael, the root by the Shechina where all neshamos are joined and no chet reaches. Our faults belong to the details, and up there they do not count.

Key points

  • Since no tzaddik is without chet, putting tefillin on a limb that sinned seems impossible.
  • Saying b'shem kol Yisrael connects each mitzvah to the shared source of all neshamos.
  • The totality of Klal Yisrael has no chet, only the individual details do.
