Your Children, Whom You Said"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>July 1979<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd your children, whom you said would become a prey, and your sons, who this day have no knowledge of good or bad, shall come there. To them I will give it and they shall inherit it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The heart of the Torah and&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;[commandments] that we were given is in the manner of \u201cI have created the evil inclination; I have created the Torah as a spice.\u201d The Torah and&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;qualify a person to come into the King\u2019s palace and obtain the hidden light that is called \u201cthe quality of the land of Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A person always values the best states, which he perceives as worthy of being qualification to enter the domain of&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>&nbsp;[holiness], called \u201cthe land of Israel,\u201d meaning the times when he has a desire and yearning to learn Torah, as well as the times when he has excitement during prayer and good intentions while doing good deeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the times when there is no desire for Torah and&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;and the understanding and reasoning interfere with Torah and&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>, at that time, a person needs much work to overcome them. At that time, everything he does in the work of the Creator is compulsory, since the thoughts of separation push him away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the more he overcomes, the more he sees that he is far, and all his prayers are bodies without souls, filled only with dryness. Although he cries out to the Creator to help him, he sees that his heart is not with him. A person despises these states and regards them as lowliness, since he has no appreciation, to think about them that they should do him some favor or bring him closer to the goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The verse implies about this, \u201cYour children,\u201d meaning the little ones, which is your state of&nbsp;<em>Katnut<\/em>&nbsp;[smallness\/infancy], \u201cwhom you said would become a prey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour sons,\u201d which are the understandings you have in Torah and&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>, \u201cthis day have no knowledge of good or bad,\u201d meaning the times when you saw that you could not tell good from bad, when all your work is in a form where there is no distinction between good or bad, meaning the times when you feel that there is no feeling. Whether you engage in Torah and&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;or you are not, you have the same feeling that you have no inspiration. At that time, you do anything that you can think of to emerge from these states; they \u201cshall come there.\u201d These states are the real&nbsp;<em>Kelim<\/em>&nbsp;[vessels] required for the Creator to give them the land of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo them I will give it and they shall inherit it,\u201d the inheritance of the fathers, which the Creator had promised to give the land of Israel. Specifically, they are the real&nbsp;<em>Kelim<\/em>&nbsp;that need the salvation of the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, the states that are important to you, do not need My help, since according to a person\u2019s opinion, only when he has excitement in the prayer, and desire and yearning and pleasure while studying Torah, this is what he appreciates because in this there is self-love. Yet, there is no connection between this and nearing the truth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 1979 \u201cAnd your children, whom you said would become a prey, and your sons, who this day have no [&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-12537","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 | 442.
