The birth of the moon. Moses was perplexed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The moon is called Malchut<\/em>. It is called \u201cthe renewal of the moon\u201d because we must accept the burden of the kingdom of heaven each day anew. Yesterday\u2019s acceptance is not enough, since each time, says the ARI, we must raise the sparks that fell to BYA<\/em> and raise them to Kedusha<\/em> [holiness]. It follows that when a person accepts a new burden each time, it is considered that each time, he takes a part of the separation and admits it into the unity of Kedusha<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the meaning of Malchut<\/em> returning to being a dot each day, and in The Zohar<\/em> a dot is called \u201ca black dot in which there is no white.\u201d That is, it does not shine, since \u201cwhite\u201d means that it illuminates. This means that it must be renewed each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, we must know that it is not the same quality as it was before. Rather, it is as it is written, there is no renewal of light that does not extend from Ein Sof<\/em> [infinity\/no end].<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is called \u201cIbur<\/em> [impregnation] of the month.\u201d Ibur<\/em> comes from the words \u201canger and rage.\u201d That is, a person must overcome while the kingdom of heaven is as a dot in him, meaning that the kingdom of heaven does not illuminate for him so he will be in gladness, as it is written, \u201cServe the Lord with gladness,\u201d but it is rather in sadness in him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the meaning of Ibur<\/em>. This is similar to an impregnation in corporeality, that the impregnation begins, and then, if the proper conditions are given, an offspring will emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It follows that when one begins the work and sees how far he is from the Creator, and it hurts him, this is regarded as being rewarded with Katnut<\/em> [smallness\/infancy], meaning that he feels his own Katnut<\/em>. This is called \u201ca lack of a Kli<\/em> [vessel],\u201d and to that extent he can later obtain the light, called Gadlut<\/em> [greatness\/adulthood], according to the measure of the Kli<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A dot is called \u201cShechina<\/em> [Divinity] in the dust,\u201d and rising is called \u201cthe sanctification of the month.\u201d That is, that which was in a state of \u201cdust,\u201d he admitted this discernment into Kedusha<\/em>. This is called \u201craising the Shechina<\/em> from the dust.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The birth of the moon. Moses was perplexed. The moon is called Malchut.
