444) \u201cDrip down, O heavens, from above.\u201d \u201cDrip down\u201d is like \u201cLet my teaching drop as the rain.\u201d He says it concerning the rain, which is food for all. Hence, all the eyes in the world look to the Creator for nourishment because He gives nourishments to all and feeds all, as it is written, \u201cThe eyes of all wait for You.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
445) And should you say that it depends on a place called \u201cheavens,\u201d ZA<\/em>, we learned that nourishment does not depend on merit. Also, we said that merit is Tzedakah<\/em>, which is ZA<\/em>, since the translation of Tzedakah<\/em> is merit, and merit and heavens are one and the same. Thus, it does not depend on the heavens, ZA<\/em>. But here it writes, \u201cDrip down, O heavens.\u201d It writes, \u201cFrom above,\u201d from heaven above. This means that it comes from the holy Atik<\/em>, who is AA<\/em>, from which the nourishment extends, and not from the place called \u201cheavens\u201d and called \u201cmerit,\u201d but rather precisely from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 446) This is so because when the heavens, ZA<\/em>, receive the food from above\u2014from a high place that is on him, meaning AA<\/em>, from Dikna<\/em>, which is called \u201cfortune\u201d\u2014then \u201cThe skies shall pour down righteousness.\u201d The sky is the place where MAN<\/em> for the righteous is grinded; it is Netzah<\/em> and Hod<\/em>. They grind MAN<\/em> for the righteous, for that place called Tzadik<\/em> [righteous], Yesod<\/em>. This is so because they grind MAN<\/em> that comes from above, from AA<\/em>, and all that bounty gathers within them to give to the degree called Tzadik<\/em>, Yesod<\/em>, so that Tzedek<\/em>, Malchut<\/em>, will be blessed by that dripping of theirs. This is why they grind MAN<\/em> for the righteous. The righteous are Tzadik<\/em> and Tzedek<\/em>, Joseph and Rachel, Yesod<\/em> and Malchut<\/em>. When they mate, they are called Tzadikim<\/em> [plural of Tzadik<\/em>, righteous].<\/p>\n\n\n\n 447) Those Netzah<\/em> and Hod<\/em> grind MAN<\/em> for the righteous, Tzadik<\/em> and Tzedek<\/em>, and this is why it writes \u201cThe skies,\u201d Netzah<\/em> and Hod<\/em>, \u201cShall pour down Tzedek<\/em> [righteousness].\u201d Then the earth below shall open, \u201cThat they may bring forth salvation,\u201d meaning the people of the world. \u201cAnd righteousness shall spring up together,\u201d meaning that all the Rachamim<\/em> and all the goodness in the world will multiply, and nourishment for people will be abundant in the world. Then joy will be added to joy and all the worlds will be blessed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 444) \u201cDrip down, O heavens, from above.\u201d \u201cDrip down\u201d is like \u201cLet my teaching drop as the rain.\u201d He says […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":14654,"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":[28],"class_list":["post-14777","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
