I heard on VaYera<\/em>, October 1942<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The matter of the three angels that came to visit Abraham during the circumcision.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The matter of the Creator coming to visit him and what He told him during the visit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. That our sages said that the visitor takes one sixtieth of the sickness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The separation from Lot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Abraham\u2019s request not to destroy Sodom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. The matter of Lot\u2019s wife looking back and becoming a pillar of salt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. The matter of Shimon and Levi\u2019s deceit of the people of Shechem concerning the circumcision, when they said, \u201cfor it is a disgrace to us.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. The matter of the two separations that came out from Lot, which were erased in the days of David and Solomon, which are opposite to one another.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    To understand the above, we should first say that we know that we discernOlam<\/em> [world], Shanna<\/em> [year], and Nefesh<\/em> [soul] in everything. Hence, concerning the circumcision, too, which is the making of the covenant of the skin, applies the matter of Olam<\/em>, Shanna<\/em>, Nefesh<\/em>. (There are four covenants: eyes, tongue, heart, and skin; and the skin includes them all.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The skin, considered the foreskin, is the Behina Dalet<\/em> [Phase Four], which should be removed to its place, meaning to the dust. This is consideredMalchut<\/em> in her place, that is, lowering Malchut<\/em> to a state of dust. This follows the words, \u201cAbba<\/em> [father] gives the white,\u201d meaning lowers Malchut<\/em> from all thirty-two paths to its place. And you find that the Sefirot<\/em> have been whitened from the Aviut<\/em> [thickness] of Malchut<\/em> of the quality of judgment that was in them, since the breaking occurred because of this Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Afterward, Ima<\/em> [mother] gives the red, when she receives the Malchut<\/em> that is sweetened in Bina<\/em>, called \u201cearth,\u201d and not \u201cdust.\u201d This is so because we make two discernments in Malchut<\/em>: 1) earth, 2) dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Earth is Malchut<\/em> that is sweetened in Bina<\/em>, called \u201cMalchut<\/em> that has risen toBina<\/em>.\u201d Dust is called \u201cMalchut<\/em> in the place of Malchut<\/em>,\u201d which is Midat ha Din<\/em>[the quality of judgment].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When Abraham had to beget Isaac, who is discerned as the whole of Israel, he had to purify himself with the circumcision so that Israel would emerge pure. The circumcision, with respect to its Nefesh<\/em> [soul], is called \u201ccircumcision\u201d and concerns the removal of the foreskin and throwing it to a place of dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Olam<\/em> [world] in the circumcision is called \u201cthe destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Hitkalelut<\/em> [mingling\/integration] of the souls in the world (a world meansHitkalelut<\/em> of many souls) is called \u201cLot,\u201d and the circumcision in the world is called \u201cthe destruction of Sodom.\u201d The healing of the pain of circumcision is called \u201cthe saving of Lot.\u201d Lot comes from the word \u201ccursed land,\u201d calledBehina Dalet<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We should know that when one has been awarded Dvekut<\/em> [adhesion] with the Creator, when he has equivalence of form and his only wish is to bestow and not receive anything for his own benefit, he comes to a state where he has no room to work. This is because that person does not need anything for himself; and for the Creator, he sees that the Creator has no deficiencies. Hence, he remains standing, without work. This causes him the great pain of the circumcision, since the circumcision gave him room to work, as circumcision is the removal of the desire to receive for oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It turns out that by removing the will to receive, when it no longer controls him, he has nothing more to add to his work. There is a correction to this: Even after one has been rewarded with circumcising himself from the will to receive, there still remain sparks of Behina Dalet<\/em> in him, and they, too, are awaiting correction. They are sweetened only by extending lights of Gadlut<\/em>[greatness\/adulthood], and thus one has room for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is the meaning of Abraham the Patriarch\u2019s pains after the circumcision, and the Creator coming to visit him. This is also the meaning of the angel Raphael healing his pain (and we cannot say that since with the four angels, the order is that Michael is on the right, Gabriel is on the left, and Uriel is at the front, and behind, which is Malchut<\/em>, implied in the west, it is Raphael. This is because he heals Malchut<\/em> after the removal of the foreskin, so there will be more room for work).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And the second angel came to destroy Sodom. This means that the removal of the foreskin in the quality of Nefesh<\/em> is called \u201ccircumcision,\u201d and in the quality of Olam<\/em>, it is called \u201cthe destruction of Sodom.\u201d As they said, after the removal of the foreskin there remains pain, and then we need to heal that pain. Similarly, in the destruction of Sodom, the healing is called \u201cthe saving of Lot,\u201d due to two good separations that were about to unfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is seemingly difficult to understand the matter of the good separation. If it is separation, how can it be good? Rather, following the removal of the foreskin, there is pain. This is because one has no room for work. And those separations, the sparks that remain of Behina Dalet<\/em>, give one room for work in that he needs to correct them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    They cannot be corrected prior to the removal of the foreskin, since first, the 248 sparks must be elevated and corrected. Subsequently, the thirty-two sparks, called \u201cthe stony heart,\u201d are corrected. Hence, first the foreskin must be removed completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is the meaning of the necessity of having a secret, that one should not know ahead of time, for they should remain in the form of a Reshimo<\/em>[recollection]. And this is the meaning of Sod<\/em> [secret]: Through the correction of the circumcision, which is the disruption of the Yesod<\/em> [foundation], meaning disrupting the Yod<\/em> [the first letter in Yesod<\/em>]. Then, the Sod<\/em> becomes Yesod<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is the meaning of the angel Raphael subsequently going to save Lot because of the \u201cgood separations.\u201d This is the meaning of Rut and Naomi, considered mind and heart. Rut comes from the word Re\u2019uia<\/em> [worthy], when the Aleph<\/em> is unpronounced. And Naomi is from the word Noam<\/em> [pleasantness], something that is pleasant to the heart, which were then sweetened in David and Solomon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, previously, the angel said, \u201clook not behind you,\u201d since \u201cLot\u201d isBehina Dalet<\/em>, but she is still connected to Abraham. However, \u201cbehind you,\u201d past Behina Dalet<\/em>, there is only raw Behina Dalet<\/em>, without sweetening. This is the meaning of the great sea monsters, of which our sages said that it is a Leviathan (whale) and his spouse, which killed the Nukva<\/em> and salted her for the righteous in the future. The future means after all the corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is the meaning of Lot\u2019s wife looking behind her, as it is written, \u201cBut his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.\u201d However, she first had to be killed, which is the destruction of Sodom. But Lot, who is considered the Leviathan (the connection between Behina Dalet<\/em> and Abraham) had to be saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This explains a common question, How could the angel that healed Abraham save Lot? After all, there is a rule: One angel does not perform two missions. However, this is the same issue, since there has to remain a Reshimo<\/em> fromBehina Dalet<\/em>. But it must be a secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This means that before he circumcised himself, there was no need to know anything of it. Rather, she had to be put to death. And the Creator salted her for the righteous in the future, when the Sod<\/em> became Yesod<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is the meaning of the strife between the herdsmen of Abraham\u2019s cattle and the herdsmen of Lot\u2019s cattle (Mikneh<\/em> [cattle] means spiritual Kinyanim<\/em>[possessions]). This is because Abraham\u2019s cattle was for the purpose of increasing the quality of Abraham\u2014faith. This means that in this manner he took for himself greater forces to go above reason, since he saw that specifically in this way of faith above reason, one is rewarded with all the possessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It follows that the reason he wanted the possessions was that these possessions would testify to the way, called \u201cfaith above reason,\u201d which is a true path. The evidence of this is that since he is given spiritual possessions from above, through the possessions, he strains to go only by way of faith above reason. But he does not want the spiritual possessions because they are great degrees and attainments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This means that it is not that he believes in the Creator in order to achieve great attainments through faith. Rather, he needs great attainments so as to know that he is treading a true path. Thus, after all the Gadlut<\/em>, he wants specifically to walk in the path of faith, since through it he sees that he is doing something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, the only intention of the herdsmen of Lot\u2019s cattle was to achieve great possessions and attainments. This is called \u201cincreasing the quality of Lot.\u201d Lot is called \u201cthe cursed land,\u201d which is one\u2019s will to receive, called Behina Dalet<\/em>, whether in mind or in heart. This is why Abraham said, \u201cPlease part from me,\u201d that is, that Behina Dalet<\/em> would be separated from him, from theBehina<\/em> of Olam<\/em>–Shanna<\/em>–Nefesh<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is the meaning of the removal of the foreskin. The removal of\u00a0Behina Dalet<\/em>\u00a0in\u00a0Nefesh<\/em>\u00a0is called \u201ccircumcision.\u201d In the\u00a0Behina<\/em>\u00a0of Olam<\/em>, the removal of the foreskin is called \u201cthe destruction of Sodom\u201d; and from the\u00a0Behina<\/em>\u00a0of Shanna<\/em>, it is the\u00a0Hitkalelut<\/em>\u00a0of many souls, and it is called\u00a0Shanna<\/em>\u00a0[year]. This is the quality of Lot, from the word \u201ccurse,\u201d called \u201cthe cursed land.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Hence, when Abraham said to Lot, \u201cPlease part from me,\u201d still, Lot was the son of Haran, referring to the second restriction, called \u201ca river that flows out of Eden to water the garden.\u201d And there is the discernment of \u201cbeyond the river,\u201d being outside the river, meaning the first Tzimtzum<\/em> [restriction], and there is a difference between the first Tzimtzum<\/em> and the second Tzimtzum<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the first Tzimtzum<\/em>, the Dinim<\/em> [judgments] stand below all the Sefirot<\/em> ofKedusha<\/em> [holiness], as they emerged in the beginning, by the order of the hanging down of the worlds. In the second Tzimtzum<\/em>, however, they rose to the place of Kedusha<\/em> and already have a hold of Kedusha<\/em>. Hence, in this respect, they are worse than the first Tzimtzum<\/em>; they have no further expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The \u201cland of Canaan\u201d is from the second Tzimtzum<\/em>, which are very bad because they have a hold on Kedusha<\/em>. This is why it is written about them, \u201cyou shall not sustain any soul.\u201d The quality of Lot, however, Behina Dalet<\/em>, must be saved. Hence, the three angels came as one: one for the blessing of the seed, considered the whole of Israel, implying also the multiplication in the Torah. This is the meaning of disclosing the secrets of Torah, which is called Banim<\/em>[sons], from the word Havanah<\/em> [understanding]. It is possible to attain all this only after the correction of the circumcision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is the meaning of the Creator\u2019s words: \u201cShall I hide from Abraham that which I am doing?\u201d Abraham was afraid of Sodom\u2019s destruction, lest he would lose all the vessels of reception. This is why he said, \u201cPerhaps there are fifty righteous within the city?\u201d because a complete Partzuf<\/em> is fifty degrees. And afterwards he asked, \u201cPerhaps there are forty-five righteous?\u201d meaning Aviut<\/em> ofBehina Gimel<\/em>, which is forty, and the Dalet de Hitlabshut<\/em> [clothing], which isVAK<\/em>, half a degree, being five Sefirot<\/em>, etc. Finally, he asked, \u201cPerhaps there are ten righteous?\u201d meaning the level of Malchut<\/em>, which is only ten. Hence, when Abraham saw that even the level of Malchut<\/em> could not emerge from there, he agreed to the destruction of Sodom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It turns out that when the Creator came to visit him, he prayed for Sodom, as it is written, \u201caccording to its cry,\u201d meaning that they were all immersed in the will to receive. \u201cAltogether\u2026 and if not, I will know.\u201d This means that if there are discernments of bestowal in them, then we will know. This is a matter of bonding, meaning He will connect them to the Kedusha<\/em> [holiness]. Since Abraham saw that no good would come from them, he agreed to the destruction of Sodom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is why after Lot\u2019s separation from Abraham, it is written, \u201c[he] moved his tent as far as Sodom,\u201d the dwelling place of the will to receive, with respect to himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is only in the land of Israel. However, beyond the river, which is the firstTzimtzum<\/em>, the domination of Behina Dalet<\/em>, there is no room for work. This is because it rules and prevails in its own place, and only in the land of Israel, considered the second Tzimtzum<\/em>, there is all the work. This is the meaning of Abraham\u2019s name Be Hey Bera\u2019am<\/em> [created them with the Hey<\/em>]. This means that the Yod<\/em> of Sarai divided into two Heys<\/em>\u2014the lower Hey<\/em> and the upper Hey<\/em>\u2014where Abraham took form the Hitkalelut<\/em> of the lower Hey<\/em> with the upperHey<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now we can understand Shimon and Levi who deceived the men of Shechem. Since Shechem wanted Dinah, since his whole intention was the will to receive, they said that they had to be circumcised, meaning to cancel the vessels of reception. Since their only aim was in the will to receive, they were killed by the circumcision, by losing the will to receive through the circumcision. For them, this was considered death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It therefore follows that they themselves deceived, since their whole intention was in Dinah, their sister. They thought that they could receive Dinah in the vessels of reception. Hence, once they were circumcised, and then wanted to receive Dinah, they could only use the vessels of bestowal, and they had lost the vessels of reception by the circumcision. But since they lacked the spark of bestowal, since Shechem was the son of Hamor, who knows nothing but the vessels of reception, they could not receive Dinah in the vessels of bestowal, as this is against their root, for their root is only Hamor<\/em>, the will to receive. Hence, they came out empty both ways. This is considered that Shimon and Levi caused their death. But actually, it was their own fault, not Shimon\u2019s and Levi\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is the meaning of the words of our sages: \u201cIf you come across a villain, draw him to the seminary.\u201d We must understand what \u201cIf you come across\u201d means. It means that the villain, meaning the will to receive, is not always found. Rather, it means that not everyone considers their will to receive \u201ca villain.\u201d Rather, if someone feels the will to receive as a villain and wants to get rid of it, as it is written, \u201cOne should always vex the good inclination over the evil inclination,\u201d if he prevails, good; and if not, he should engage in the Torah, and if not, he should read the Shema<\/em> reading, and if not, he should remind him of the day of his death\u201d (Berachot<\/em>, p 5). In that state, he has three counsels together, and one without the others is incomplete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now we can understand the common question with which the Gemara<\/em> ends: If the first advice\u2014\u201cpull him to the seminary\u201d\u2014does not help, then \u201cread theShema<\/em> reading.\u201d And if that does not help, \u201cremind him of the day of his death.\u201d Thus, if he is doubtful of their help, why does he need the first two counsels? Why should he not take the last advice right away, meaning reminding him of the day of death? He answers that this does not mean that one counsel will help, but that it requires all three counsels together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And this means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Pull him to the seminary, meaning the Torah.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Read the\u00a0Shema<\/em>\u00a0reading, meaning the Creator and\u00a0Dvekut<\/em>\u00a0[adhesion] with the Creator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Remind him of the day of death, meaning devotion. This is considered Israel, who are likened to a dove that stretches out its neck. In other words, all three discernments are one unity called \u201cThe Torah, Israel, and the Creator are one.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      One can receive assistance from a rav [great person\/teacher] for the quality of the Torah and the reading of Shema<\/em>. However, for the quality of Israel, which is the circumcision, which is devotion, one has to work by himself. Even though there is help from above for this, too, as our sages said, \u201cand made a covenant with him,\u201d meaning that the Creator helped him, still, man must begin. This is the meaning of \u201cremind him of the day of death.\u201d We must always remember and not forget, since this is the essence of man\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And concerning the Reshimot<\/em> that we must leave, by way of Lot\u2019s salvation, it is because of two good separations, which is the meaning of Haman and Mordecai. Mordecai wants only to bestow; he has no need to extend lights ofGadlut<\/em>. But through Haman, who wants to swallow all the lights into his authority, through him, he is the cause that evokes man to draw the lights ofGadlut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Yet, after he has already extended the lights, it is forbidden to receive them in Haman\u2019s Kelim<\/em> [vessels], called \u201cvessels of reception,\u201d but only in the vessels of bestowal. This is the meaning of what is written, that the King told Haman, \u201cand do so to Mordecai the Jew.\u201d This is considered the lights of Haman shining in the vessels of Mordecai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
