In their work, in holding them for the purpose of a&nbsp;<em>Mitzva<\/em>&nbsp;[good deed\/correction], seven others awaken above, the seven&nbsp;<em>Sefirot HGT<\/em>&nbsp;<em>NHYM<\/em>: three myrtles, opposite&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>; 2 willows, opposite&nbsp;<em>NH<\/em>; a palm branch opposite&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>; and a citron opposite&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>\u2014to impart to the world in several&nbsp;<em>Behinot<\/em>&nbsp;[discernments\/ways\/manners\/aspects], imparted from the seven&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>109) Although the Assembly of Israel,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, is actually seven&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>, she is blessed by all six&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;above her, which are&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>&nbsp;<em>NHY<\/em>, and by the deep stream that the fountain extends and whose water never cease from being drawn over the six&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>&nbsp;<em>NHY<\/em>. Also, she nurses the daughter,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, for because&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;is the daughter of the upper world,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, and the lower world,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, she is blessed by them in this awakening. This is because when the Assembly of Israel is blessed by them, all the worlds are blessed, receiving from her, and hence surround the altar on the seven days of&nbsp;<em>Sukkot<\/em>, since the altar,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, receives from&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and from&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, and fill her with seven&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;through the seven circlings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>110) Also, in the awakening of holding the four species, all six&nbsp;<em>Sefirot HGT<\/em>&nbsp;<em>NHY<\/em>&nbsp;are blessed in water, in abundance, to settle for it. They all draw from the fountain of the stream that is the deepest of all, from&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, to bring down to the world. For this reason, all four species must be moist and not dry, for moisture implies that they are full of abundance to extend blessings to the world. This is so because the trees of myrtle, willow, and the palm are always moist, and their leaves are always in the tree, whether in summer or in winter, and their time of joy is on the seven days of&nbsp;<em>Sukkot<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>111) That force, which was appointed over the trees of the four species, each of them takes blessings of joy above only at that time. And the joy of everyone above and the joy of these trees below is entirely during the days of&nbsp;<em>Sukkot<\/em>. Also, their awakening depends on those holy ones of the King, meaning on the holding of the palm branch of Israel. And when Israel take them, everything awakens at that time, and the world,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, is blessed to pour out blessings into this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>112) It is written, \u201cThe voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders.\u201d This is Abraham, the quality of&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>. \u201cThe voice of the Lord is powerful\u201d is Isaac,&nbsp;<em>Gevura<\/em>. \u201cThe voice of the Lord is majestic\u201d is Jacob,&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>. \u201cThe voice of the Lord breaks the cedars\u201d is&nbsp;<em>Netzah<\/em>. \u201cThe voice of the Lord hews out flames of fire\u201d is&nbsp;<em>Hod<\/em>; \u201cThe voice of the Lord frightens the desert\u201d is righteous,&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>. \u201cThe voice of the Lord makes the deer calve\u201d is&nbsp;<em>Tzedek<\/em>&nbsp;[justice],&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. They all grow on the sea,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, and are watered by water, by the abundance of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, to grow, as it is written, \u201cA river comes out of Eden to water the garden.\u201d And all those awaken blessings to the world from that potion that they all drank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>113) Seven voices,&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>&nbsp;<em>NHYM<\/em>, depend on the speaking of the mouth, all year long. Now during the seven days of&nbsp;<em>Sukkot<\/em>, they are dependent only upon the action. And we need an action, not speaking, since at the time of the seven days of the&nbsp;<em>Sukkot<\/em>&nbsp;it blesses for the whole of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;that depend on speech extend internality,&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>, but they do not extend illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;from the left line, as it is externality. And&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;that depend on action extend externality, the illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;from the left line,&nbsp;<em>Mochin de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>&nbsp;and externality. On the seven days of&nbsp;<em>Sukkot<\/em>, we must correct the externality, the extension of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;from the left, and for this reason we need practical&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>, which can evoke it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why it was said, \u201cNow during the seven days of&nbsp;<em>Sukkot<\/em>, they are dependent only upon the action.\u201d We need an action to extend the correction of the externality, which is illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;from the left, and not the speech, since the speech extends only the internality,&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>, which we draw throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seven voices,&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>&nbsp;<em>NHYM<\/em>, depend on the speaking of the mouth throughout the year and do not need action. This is so because during the seven days of&nbsp;<em>Sukkot<\/em>, it blesses for the whole of the year, since once we extended illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;on the left, during the seven days of&nbsp;<em>Sukkot<\/em>&nbsp;into&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>&nbsp;<em>NHYM<\/em>, it is sufficient for the rest of the year so the&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;we extend by the&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;that depend on speech throughout the year are blessed with illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;from the seven days of&nbsp;<em>Sukkot<\/em>. By that, they become disclosed&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;and no longer need the&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;that depend on an act for this matter, but for other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>114) The seventh day of the festival,&nbsp;<em>Hoshana Rabbah<\/em>&nbsp;[Great Supplication], is the end of the&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>&nbsp;of the world. The judgments that come out of the King\u2019s house and the&nbsp;<em>Gevurot<\/em>&nbsp;awaken and end on that day. The willows of the brook depend on those&nbsp;<em>Gevurot<\/em>&nbsp;and must awaken the&nbsp;<em>Gevurot<\/em>&nbsp;into water, circling the altar seven times corresponding to the&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>&nbsp;<em>NHYM<\/em>, which is opposite the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, to satiate the altar with the waters of Isaac, with the illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;from the left line, Isaac, so the water may fill Isaac\u2019s well, the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. When she receives from the left, this is what she is called. And when she is filled, the whole world is blessed with water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three books open on&nbsp;<em>Rosh Hashanah<\/em>&nbsp;[Hebrew New Year\u2019s Eve]: that of complete righteous, that of complete wicked, and that of intermediate. The complete righteous are immediately written to life. The complete wicked are immediately written to death. The intermediate remain undecided until&nbsp;<em>Yom Kippur<\/em>&nbsp;[Day of Atonement]. There is no speaking of the complete righteous or the complete wicked, since their sentence is already given on the first day of&nbsp;<em>Rosh Hashanah<\/em>. All it speaks of is the intermediate, which remain undecided until&nbsp;<em>Yom Kippur<\/em>. If they repent, they are sealed to life; and the wicked, who do not repent, are sealed to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the atonement for sins on&nbsp;<em>Yom Kippur<\/em>&nbsp;is extension of illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;through&nbsp;<em>Malchut\u2019s<\/em>&nbsp;ascent to&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, for there is atonement for sins only by disclosure of light of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, the light of life. Hence, the intermediate, who repent, are then rewarded with atonement for sins and with signing to life. However, this still does not fully complete the matter, since the light of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;does not shine without&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>, and the time of extension of&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;for clothing of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;is during the seven days of&nbsp;<em>Sukkot<\/em>. It follows that on the seventh day,&nbsp;<em>Hoshana Rabbah<\/em>, the clothing of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;is completed, and then the signing to life that was done on&nbsp;<em>Yom Kippur<\/em>&nbsp;is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, for those who did not repent and were signed to death on&nbsp;<em>Yom Kippur<\/em>, the signing is not yet completed, since they have time to repent until the seventh day of&nbsp;<em>Sukkot<\/em>, since&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;continues through that time. And if they repent, their iniquities will be atoned by her and they will be rewarded with the light of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, the day of&nbsp;<em>Hoshana Rabbah<\/em>&nbsp;is considered a day of handing of verdicts to the angels, whether for life or for death. This is so because after the verdicts are given to the executors, they are not returned, since after the day of&nbsp;<em>Hoshana Rabbah<\/em>&nbsp;there is no longer extension of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. And since afterwards there is no more extension of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, the verdicts come out from the King\u2019s house, meaning that they are carried out and are no longer returned. Also, the&nbsp;<em>Gevurot<\/em>&nbsp;awaken and end on that day since the&nbsp;<em>Gevurot<\/em>, which is extension of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, end on that day and do not extend&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;for later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>115) On the day of&nbsp;<em>Hoshana Rabbah<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Gevurot<\/em>&nbsp;are required to extend water, which is illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, which is drawn out only with&nbsp;<em>Gevurot<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>. Later, they must be concluded since on that day, the&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>&nbsp;ends, meaning there is no longer a need to extend illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, which is drawn by&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>. This is the reason for the need to strike the willows on the ground and to conclude them, meaning their illumination, so they will not be found. It is because on this day there are awakening of the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;and the conclusion of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. Hence, we use the willows of the brook, which imply to&nbsp;<em>NH<\/em>, in which the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;appears through&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>, to make awakening and an ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ground is the last&nbsp;<em>Behina<\/em>&nbsp;[discernment] in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. When the willows are struck on the ground, illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;is extended with the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;into the last&nbsp;<em>Behina<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, where there is the conclusion of her illumination. The reason why&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;appears only in the willows, in&nbsp;<em>NH<\/em>, is that from the&nbsp;<em>Chazeh<\/em>&nbsp;and above it is&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>NH<\/em>&nbsp;from the&nbsp;<em>Chazeh<\/em>&nbsp;down is&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>. And since the&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;were concealed and only&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;are revealed, their place is in&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Guf<\/em>, which is&nbsp;<em>NH<\/em>. This is the willows of the brook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>116) They are called \u201cwillows of the brook\u201d because the&nbsp;<em>Gevurot<\/em>, illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;with the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;in them, come out from the stream,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, and on that day they awaken and end. On that day, it is written, \u201cThen Isaac returned and dug the wells of water.\u201d It writes \u201cwell\u201d without a&nbsp;<em>Vav<\/em>&nbsp;[in Hebrew], since it implies to the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, who is called \u201ca well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is \u201cReturned\u201d? On the first day of the month, on&nbsp;<em>Rosh Hashanah<\/em>, there was the beginning of&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>&nbsp;through the world, and Isaac, the left line, rose to the throne of justice to judge the world. On&nbsp;<em>Hoshana Rabbah<\/em>, Isaac returned to evoking&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;and to concluding the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>, and to dig the wells of water\u2014meaning to spill&nbsp;<em>Gevurot<\/em>&nbsp;for the Assembly of Israel,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, the well\u2014to evoke the water, illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, since the water in&nbsp;<em>Gevurot<\/em>&nbsp;descend to the world, for illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;is drawn out to the world only with&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On&nbsp;<em>Rosh Hashanah<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;of the left line began to appear. At that time the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;was about the two great lights, clothing the left line of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. By the blowing of the horn, the left line was diminished by the middle line through two actions: first in&nbsp;<em>Man\u2019ula<\/em>&nbsp;[lock], which completely diminishes it, and then through the&nbsp;<em>Miftacha<\/em>&nbsp;[key], which qualifies it to receive&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. On&nbsp;<em>Yom Kippur<\/em>, through&nbsp;<em>Malchut\u2019s<\/em>&nbsp;ascent to&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;appeared in her in five torments that she received from the left line of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After&nbsp;<em>Yom Kippur<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;for clothing the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;began to appear, without which&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;does not shine, and the correction of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;is extended in&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;through the circling of the altar until the day of&nbsp;<em>Hoshana Rabbah<\/em>, which is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;of the seven days of&nbsp;<em>Sukkot<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>HGT<\/em>&nbsp;<em>NHYM<\/em>. Hence, the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;must be reawakened in the correction of&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;in the circling of the altar, to correct the seventh day with her, and to altogether end the extension of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. This is so because since she reached&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, there is no longer a need to extend her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>117) And because these&nbsp;<em>Gevurot<\/em>&nbsp;come down only through clouds,&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>, and on a cloudy day, the wind [<em>Ruach<\/em>] of the pillars of the world does not settle in them, so it must be because the world needs them, since the world was created in&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>Rosh Hashanah<\/em>. For this reason, the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;should always appear with the water, which is illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, to prevent the wicked from clinging to the left line and from bringing back the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Rosh Hashanah<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything should be so because everything depends on the act. Hence, the priest, by the act and correction that he performs below, in the act of the offering, the upper and lower awaken to correct them, and they are corrected by it. Similarly, through the act of the four species and the willow on&nbsp;<em>Hoshana Rabbah<\/em>, the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;is corrected through the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;that appear along with her so there will not be a grip to the wicked ones in her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>118) The willow is like lips on that day, for on that day, the matter depends on lips. This is so because on that day, the King orders the giving of verdicts to the appointee, the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;end, and the slander is concealed from the world. The first day of the month is the beginning of the&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>&nbsp;and the end is on that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the first day of the month,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;grips to the left line of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, Isaac. And through the blowing of the horn the middle line awakens to mate on the&nbsp;<em>Masach<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Hirik<\/em>, to diminish the left line, first in&nbsp;<em>Man\u2019ula<\/em>&nbsp;[lock] and then in&nbsp;<em>Miftacha<\/em>&nbsp;[key]. It means that the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;has risen to&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;has returned to being&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>&nbsp;without a&nbsp;<em>Rosh<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the one hand, a correction was done by that to subdue the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;of the left line and to prepare it for uniting with the right. On the other hand, the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Katnut de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;gripped due to the ascent of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;within her, for which the external ones came out with slander against&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, saying that there is a deficiency in her so they would cling to her in the place of deficiency, as is their way. For this reason, there was a need to shut the mouth of the external ones from slandering&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. This was done on&nbsp;<em>Yom Kippur<\/em>&nbsp;and during the seven days of&nbsp;<em>Sukkot<\/em>, when&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;descended from&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;once more and the&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;received her&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>&nbsp;back from being&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why it was said that slander was concealed from the world, that on the day when&nbsp;<em>Hoshana Rabbah<\/em>&nbsp;ended,&nbsp;<em>VAK<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;returns to the&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;as before and the mouths of the external ones are shut from slandering&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. And after the slander has ended, there is no longer a need to extend&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, which brings&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;with it, since after the slander has ended, there is no longer a need for disclosure of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. Through the&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;that depend on action, which are the holding of the palm branch and the willow, the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;is drawn out, and through&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;that depend on speech, the lips, the&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;are drawn out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was said that on that day, the willow is like lips. This is so because with the willow, the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;is awakened and ended with the&nbsp;<em>Gevurot<\/em>, so that henceforth, we will extend only&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>&nbsp;that depend on the lips. Hence, there is a hint of that in that the leaves of the willow resemble lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>119) On that day, the idol worshipping nations complete and conclude their blessings and are in&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>. And on that day, Israel conclude their&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;and are in blessings. This is so because on&nbsp;<em>Shemini Atzeret<\/em>&nbsp;[Eighth [day] of Assembly], they will be amused with the King, taking from Him blessings for all the days of the year. In that joy, only Israel will be with the King, and one who sits with the King and takes Him alone, asks for anything that he wants and the King gives it to him. Hence, Israel begin to receive the blessings and the idol worshipping nations conclude their blessings. This is why it is written, \u201c\u2018I have loved you,\u2019 says the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is so because the nations of the world cling to the left line, from which there is illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. They cannot receive from the right line,&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>, since their root is only in the left. Hence, the nations of the world receive their blessings during the seven days of&nbsp;<em>Sukkot<\/em>, when&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;extends in them from the left line, through the act of the&nbsp;<em>Mitzvot<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the seventy bulls that we offer on the seven days of the festival, opposite the seventy nations, from which they suckle. It follows that on the seventh day, after the beating of the willow, when the extension of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;has ceased, the blessings cease from the nations because they have nothing more from which to suckle. This is why it was said that on that day, the idol worshipping nations complete and conclude their blessings, for on that day, the extension of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, which is all their blessings, has already ended, and they are in&nbsp;<em>Din<\/em>&nbsp;for they cannot suckle&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;from the right, and they are in emptiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Israel cling to the middle line, from which the&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;come, and their whole root is there. Hence, since the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;that extends from the left line on the seven days of the holiday is drawn out only with&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>, once the illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;has ended, the&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;that are with her end, as well. On that day, Israel conclude their&nbsp;<em>Dinim<\/em>&nbsp;because they no longer extend illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;and they are in blessings, in&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>, which extend from the middle line, which is their root. This is so because from the&nbsp;<em>Zivug<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;on the day of the Eighth of Assembly, blessings, meaning&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>, are drawn out to Israel for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the joy is from the imparting of&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>, which no nation but Israel can receive, it follows that at that time, only Israel are with the King. It is so because the illumination of the left, which is from the root of the nations, has ended, and they have nothing more to suckle, and the illumination of the middle line, illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>, which is from the root of Israel, begins on the Eighth of Assembly and continues throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>120) Thus we see that Esau is in peace, in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, in great and high cities, ruling over the world. Why is it written, \u201cAnd I will make his mountains desolation\u201d? It is like that in every place. Because the holy King makes a verdict and places that verdict in this sentence, the text testifies as though it was done, even though the verdict has not been carried out. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd I will make his mountains desolation,\u201d for I have already envisioned it in My verdict, and the thing will come true in its time. Also, all the good that He had sentenced for Israel will come true in its time, as it is written, \u201cI the Lord have spoken and done.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>108)
