Likewise, Isaac did not find a place of lack, and through the prayer, the Creator provided him with a place of lack on which he could pray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, Righteous Rachel was handsome and of good looks, not having a place of lack. For this reason, Rachel said, \u201cBring me sons, for if not, I will die.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One who has no sons is regarded as dead, meaning that he has no place of lack on which to need to extend new life. For this reason, he gave him the&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>, where by always overcoming in the Torah and&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;[commandments], he will extend the complete wholeness, for man\u2019s ways is that he corrects his actions through repentance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is repentance from love, and there is repentance from fear, and there are all inclusive righteous, who have been rewarded with repentance from love even with respect to their own selves. However, for the sake of the general public, they did not correct the repentance from love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the quality of Isaac, as it is written, \u201cAnd Isaac sowed in that land and found in that year one hundred gates,\u201d meaning the full and complete measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By this we will understand the words of our sages, \u201cRabbi Shmuel Bar Nachmani said, \u2018Why is it written, \u2018For you are our father,\u2019\u2019\u201d etc. (Shabbat [Sabbath] 89b).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The holy books write about \u201cA son makes the father worthy,\u201d meaning that what the father could not complete, the [&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-12302","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 | 355.
