Concerning the Exodus from Egypt"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Our sages said that the story of the exodus from Egypt should be said in a manner of question and answer. One who does not have anyone to ask him asks himself \u201cWhat has changed,\u201d etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We should interpret this. \u201cStory\u201d comes from the words, \u201cthe heavens tell.\u201d The exodus from Egypt means the liberation and redemption from the&nbsp;<em>Klipot<\/em>&nbsp;[shells\/peels] and the&nbsp;<em>Sitra<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Achra<\/em>&nbsp;[other side], meaning to invoke the root of redemption and extend it. This matter is regarded as \u201cthe heavens tell,\u201d meaning that when one removes oneself from any worldliness, he can tell the praise of the Creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, in order for one to rise to heaven, his work is in a manner of question and answer. This is the meaning of the sons asking, since&nbsp;<em>Banim<\/em>&nbsp;[sons] means&nbsp;<em>Havanah<\/em>&nbsp;[understanding] and reason and intellect, and they ask him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One who has no sons\u2014whose mind and reason have no questions because he is pure in his reason and qualities\u2014must evoke the questions by himself, as Baal HaSulam interpreted the words of our sages, \u201cI awaken the dawn, and the dawn does not awaken me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat has changed this night compared to all other nights?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNight\u201d means the body, which is regarded as \u201cdeficiency\u201d and \u201cdarkness.\u201d \u201cDay\u201d means the soul, which illuminates the body. At that time, he asks, \u201cHow has his body changed from the rest of the bodies of the nations of the world?\u201d \u201cFor on all other nights,\u201d the bodies eat what they want without any scrutinies. Rather, whatever their hearts desire, they say is in their favor. But this night, my body is limited in both thought and desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The explanation is, \u201cWe were slaves\u2026 and He delivered us.\u201d That is, specifically through these limitations we will be able to emerge from exile. Precisely by seeing the changes and ascents and descents each time, by struggling, a place of prayer awakens. Then the words \u201cAnd the children of Israel sighed from the work, and their cry went up\u201d come true. If the exile is revealed in full, then begins the redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shows us the order of exile and redemption that took place in Egypt at that time, and this is the order we must extend through the end of correction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our sages said that the story of the exodus from Egypt should be said in a manner of question and [&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-14884","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 | 933.
