He will rest from his work. And yet, through his labor, when he feels no taste in his work, he wants only the discernment of carobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is known that if \u201cYou labored but did not find, do not believe\u201d (<em>Megillah<\/em>&nbsp;6b). At that time, he wants that through his work and labor, abundance and blessing will extend to the entire world, meaning that all the vitality and attainments of the light of Torah will reach the whole world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the meaning of the words, \u201cThe whole is nourished by my son Hanina\u201d (<em>Taanit<\/em>&nbsp;24b). Why does he do so? It is because he has the grace of&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>&nbsp;[holiness], after which he is called Hanina, from the word&nbsp;<em>Hen<\/em>&nbsp;[grace]. At that time, he is rewarded with the quality of Shabbat. Hence, one who did not toil in the eve of Shabbat, what will he eat on Shabbat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We could ask, If Hanina extended the light of Torah to the entire world, why are they not perceiving the light of pleasure, and only Hanina was rewarded with the quality of Shabbat? It is because they haven\u2019t the&nbsp;<em>Kelim<\/em>&nbsp;[vessels] to receive, for the labor is the correction, the making of the&nbsp;<em>Kelim<\/em>&nbsp;into which the lights pour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was said about this (<em>Avoda Zara<\/em>&nbsp;3a), \u201cHe who did not toil on the eve of Shabbat, what will he eat on Shabbat?\u201d Although Hanina extended the light of Shabbat to the entire world, they do not have the&nbsp;<em>Kelim<\/em>&nbsp;in which to receive. Nevertheless, the servant of the Creator himself must walk on the path of not receiving anything, and this is called \u201ccarobs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe whole is nourished by my son Hanina, and Hanina my son suffices himself with 102 carobs [meager food] from [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":6246,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[26],"class_list":["post-11152","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-rabash"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kabbalah | 12.
