If they are not rewarded, in its time\u2019\u2019\u201d (Sanhedrin 98).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, the whole world must achieve the complete benefit and receive the purpose of creation, which is to do good to His creations, and the whole world must feel the good in the manner of \u201chappy are you in this world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabbi Eliezer says, \u201cIf Israel repent, they are redeemed. If not, they are not redeemed.\u201d Rabbi Yehoshua said to him, \u201cIf they do not repent, are they not redeemed? But the Creator places over them a king whose decrees are as harsh as Haman\u2019s, Israel repent, and He reforms them\u201d (Sanhedrin 97b).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We should interpret the meaning of \u201ca king whose decrees are as harsh as Haman\u2019s.\u201d This means that everything that the evil inclination sentences them to do, they will feel in these actions a flavor that is as harsh and as bitter as Haman. Then, since man cannot live without pleasure, everyone will pursue the Torah and&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;[commandments] and will feel there the real pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the meaning of \u201cAnd Israel repent,\u201d since they will not feel any flavor of pleasure in corporeal matters. It follows that the flavor that is as harsh as Haman, which they will feel in corporeal things, will compel them to reform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cRabbi Alexandrai said, \u2018Rabbi Yehoshua Ben Levi Rami said, \u2018It is written, \u2018In its time,\u2019 and it is written, \u2018I [&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-13999","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 | 733.
