In the song, \u201cMighty Rock of My Salvation,\u201d it is written, \u201cGreeks have gathered around me \u2026 and have broken the walls of my towers.\u201d We should interpret that the&nbsp;<em>Klipa<\/em>&nbsp;(shell\/peel) of Greece was that they wanted to cancel Shabbat and circumcision. Shabbat and circumcision are called \u201ctoken,\u201d and the token of the covenant is called \u201cthe&nbsp;<em>Mitzva<\/em>&nbsp;(commandment) of faith.\u201d This is why they wanted to cancel specifically those two&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;(pl. of&nbsp;<em>Mitzva<\/em>), for by cancelling faith in the whole of Israel, all the&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;in the Torah are cancelled by themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faith is an iron wall, meaning meticulous guard that no stranger will enter the holiness, for to the extent that one has faith, to that extent he is keeping Torah and&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>. By keeping Torah and&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>, we are rewarded with receiving the light that is hidden in it and feel the goodness, pleasantness, and vitality, as it is written, \u201cfor they are our lives and the length of our days.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the meaning of \u201cbroken the walls of my towers,\u201d meaning created a breach in the wall, called \u201cfaith.\u201d Through the&nbsp;<em>Mitzva<\/em>&nbsp;of faith, we are rewarded with \u201ca tower full of good abundance,\u201d which is sweetness and the savor of the upper pleasantness that is found in the Torah. A miracle happened and the Creator helped them, and they defeated the&nbsp;<em>Klipa<\/em>&nbsp;of Greece, and by that were once again rewarded with the great light. This is called the \u201cHanukah candle,\u201d meaning the lights one receives by keeping the faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May we all be awarded His light together soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From your friend who is pleading on your behalf and on your family\u2019s behalf<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baruch Shalom HaLevi Ashlag<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Son of Baal HaSulam<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>December
