It is strengthened by the four directions of the world, which are&nbsp;<em>HG<\/em>&nbsp;<em>TM<\/em>&nbsp;that connect in their places. Seventy branches\u2014which are seventy ministers are appointed over the seventy nations of the world\u2014rise within it and are nurtured by it. From its main roots, they suckle from the surroundings, and they are branches that are in the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>316) When the time for each branch to govern comes, they all wish to completely annihilate the stem of the tree, which is the essence of all the branches, the one that governs Israel, and to which they grip. And when the reign of the stem of the tree comes to them, meaning the part of Israel, it wishes to keep them and to give peace in everyone. This is the reason for offering the seventy fruits of the festival, to give peace to the seventy branches in the tree, meaning the seventy ministers of the nations of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>317) It is said about that, \u201cWho is like You among the gods, O Lord.\u201d \u201cAmong the gods\u201d is a tree, as it is written, \u201cFor they will be ashamed of the oaks that you have desired.\u201d This is the tree, that they were serving a form that was engraved within it. \u201cWho is like You,\u201d meaning who will do as Your deeds and have mercy over all. \u201cWho is like You\u201d in the entire surroundings of the tree, that even though it governs, it keeps everything for all the others and does not wish to destroy them, as do they when they reign. \u201cWho is like You, majestic in holiness,\u201d majestic in the upper force, called \u201choliness.\u201d Truly majestic in holiness, in&nbsp;<em>Mochin<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. This is called \u201cthe force of the Creator,\u201d \u201cthe pleasantness of the Creator.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>318) \u201cI have seen all the works &#8230; all is vanity and striving after wind.\u201d How could King Solomon, whose wisdom surpassed that of all the people in the world, say that all the works are vanity and striving after wind? Is even the work of righteousness vanity and striving after wind? But it is written, \u201cAnd the work of righteousness shall be peace.\u201d However, it is written, \u201cAll the works which have been done under the sun.\u201d An act of righteousness is different; it is above the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>319) And yet, What does \u201cAll is vanity and striving after wind\u201d mean? \u201cAll is vanity\u201d is as it is written, \u201cVanity of vanities, says Kohelet,\u201d and these vanities are the existence of the upper world and the lower world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>320) When there are good deeds in the world and man engages in the work of the holy King, that thing that he does, a&nbsp;<em>Hevel<\/em>&nbsp;[vanity\/breath vapor] is made of it above. And there is no vapor without a sound, which rises and becomes an advocate before the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>321) And all those deeds in which one engages that are not the work of the Creator become vapor and walk and wander in the world. And when one\u2019s soul departs, that vapor rolls him in the world like a stone in a sling, as it is written, \u201cBut the souls of your enemies He will sling out as from the hollow of a sling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>322) What does \u201cHe will sling out\u201d mean? The vapor rolls it around in the world. Then all the things that are done and are not the work of the Creator are made into vapor, which is the breaking of the wind that breaks the wind, which rises and falls and rolls in the world, as it is written, \u201cVanity and striving after wind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>323) But the work of his Master rises above the sun and becomes actual holy vapor, this is the seed that one sows in that world, and its name is righteousness, as it is written, \u201cSow for yourselves for righteousness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>324) This leads a man when his soul departs him and elevates him to the place of honor above, and bundles him in the bundle of life, as it is written, \u201cAnd thy righteousness shall go before you,\u201d to guide you and to raise you to the place called \u201cthe glory of the Lord,\u201d&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cThe glory of the Lord will be behind you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>325) He gathers all those souls that the holy vapor\u2014called \u201cThe glory of the Lord\u201d\u2014leads, and they are bundled in him. Then there is contentment. But the other vapor, which is not the work of the Creator, is called \u201cStriving after wind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy are the righteous who do all their deeds above the sun, meaning the work of the Creator, and sow a seed of righteousness to reward them with the next world, as it is written, \u201cBut unto you that fear My name shall the sun of righteousness arise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>326) When the Temple was first built below, it was built with judgment and anger. This is because it was in a place where judgment was present. In the future, the Creator will build it and erect it in a different, high degree, called \u201crighteousness,\u201d which is the corrected&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cIn righteousness shall you be established.\u201d For this reason, it will persist and will not be ruined again, and its name shall truly be called&nbsp;<em>Tzedek<\/em>&nbsp;[justice], as it is written, \u201cAnd this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord is our righteousness.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>315) A big, high, and strong tree,&nbsp;ZA, in which
