The King\u2019s daughter on Passover is the intellectual soul, a watch-night, a kept Matza<\/em> [Passover bread]. The spirit that is kept opposite her is a good day, the day of Shabbat [Sabbath]. They are \u201cRemember and keep,\u201d since he is Atzilut<\/em> from Malchut<\/em>. In the Sulam<\/em> [Ladder commentary on The Zohar<\/em>], a kept Matza<\/em> and a watch-night extend from Malchut<\/em> (Tzav<\/em>, 64-65).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason we do not eat Matzot<\/em> [pl. of Matza<\/em>] all year long: He explains with an allegory about a king who wears his formal attire only when he is anointed. Also, each year at that same time, he wears his formal attire, but only then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matzot<\/em> are regarded as \u201charsh judgment,\u201d which are Mochin<\/em> de<\/em> Achoraim<\/em>, GAR<\/em> de<\/em> Yenika<\/em>. This is the circumcision, meaning that although it is impossible to use the Mochin<\/em> [lights], it still helps to thereby bring out the AHP<\/em> of the Kelim<\/em> from the Klipa<\/em> [shell\/peel]. This is why it implies the circumcision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matzot<\/em> are Mochin<\/em> de<\/em> Achoraim<\/em> that illuminate at the time of Gadlut<\/em> [greatness\/adulthood]. That is, during the Gadlut<\/em>, when they have Mochin<\/em> of Abba<\/em> and Ima<\/em>, the Mochin<\/em> de<\/em> Achoraim<\/em> are not cancelled. On the contrary, the whole quality of Hochma<\/em> at the time of Gadlut<\/em> comes from this discernment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the night of Passover there was only cutting and not removing [stages in the circumcision], and Gadlut<\/em> means removing, so how can there be Gadlut<\/em> on the night of Passover? He answers that removing is awakening from below, and the Gadlut<\/em> of the night of Passover came by an awakening from above (The Zohar<\/em>, Bo<\/em>, 49). Observing the Mitzvot<\/em> [commandments] is the keeping of the circumcision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBread of poverty\u201d\u2014since it is Achoraim<\/em> and lacks Hassadim<\/em> (there).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
