And the world was created in the Torah, as it is written, \u201cThen I was beside Him as trusted [<em>Amun<\/em>].\u201d Dot not read it as&nbsp;<em>Amun<\/em>, but as&nbsp;<em>Uman<\/em>&nbsp;[a master craftsman], as she was His tool for creating the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Man was created in the Torah, as it is written, \u201cAnd God said: \u2018Let us make man\u2026\u201d It is written, \u201cLet us,\u201d in plural tense. The Creator said to the Torah, \u201cI wish to create man.\u201d She said before him, \u201cThis man will sin and vex you. If You are not patient with him, how will he persist?\u201d He told her, \u201cYou and Me will establish him in the world, for it is with good reason that I am called, \u2018slow to anger.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) The written Torah,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, and the oral Torah,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;established man in the world, as it is written, \u201cLet us make man in our image, after our likeness.\u201d It is written in plural tense. This is the image and the likeness, both of which made man.&nbsp;<em>Tzelem<\/em>&nbsp;[Image] is&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Demut<\/em>&nbsp;[likeness] is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, from the word,&nbsp;<em>Demama<\/em>&nbsp;[stillness\/silence], who has nothing of her own, except what she receives from&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>. Also, man\u2019s soul is born from the&nbsp;<em>Zivug<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, which is why it is written, \u201cin our image, after our likeness.\u201d Hence, the beginning of the Torah is in the letter,&nbsp;<em>Bet<\/em>&nbsp;[numerical value, 2], implying&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4) Why is the letter&nbsp;<em>Bet<\/em>&nbsp;[<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/staging.kabbalah.info\/d4f014e2-ce99-4fe6-ace8-d5f0723a6183\" alt=\"Bet\">] open on one side and closed on the other side? When a person comes to join with the Torah, it is open to receive him and partake with him. And when a person shuts his eyes to her and goes by another way, she is blocked from the other side, like the&nbsp;<em>Bet<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cIf you forsake me for one day, I will forsake you for two days,\u201d and he will not find the opening until he reconnects with the Torah face-to-face and will not depart it. Hence, the Torah opens, calling upon people and declaring and summoning them, \u201cTo you, O men, I call.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5)&nbsp;<em>Bet<\/em>&nbsp;has a shape of two roofs and one line that connects them. One roof points up, toward the heaven, and this is&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, and one roof points down toward the earth, and this is&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. And the Creator,&nbsp;<em>Yesod<\/em>, grips them and receives them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6) The three upper lights, three lines, which are clung together are the whole of the Torah, and they open doors to all. They open doors and impart upon faith, meaning&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, and they are home to all. This is why they are called, \u201chouse,\u201d since they are the three lines in the&nbsp;<em>Bet<\/em>, implying the three lines of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, which are a house. And this is why the Torah begins with&nbsp;<em>Bet<\/em>, since she is the Torah, and the cure for the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7) Hence, for one who engages in the Torah, it is as though he engages in the holy name. And the whole Torah is one sublime, holy name. And because it is a holy name, it begins with&nbsp;<em>Bet<\/em>, the entirety of the holy name, the three lines in \u201cjourneyed,\u201d \u201ccame,\u201d and \u201cpitched,\u201d which are the three lines of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, which are three ties that affect the faith,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8) All those who engage in Torah cling to the Creator and are crowned in the decorations of Torah. They are loved above and below, and the Creator offers them His right hand, mercy. It is even more so with those who engage in Torah at night, as well, for they have established that they partake in Divinity and join together. And when the morning comes, the Creator decorates them with a single string of grace, so they will be among the higher and among the lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9) And all these morning stars sing together when the assembly of Israel,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;and all who engage in Torah, come to be seen before the king, as it is written, \u201cWhen the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy.\u201d What is, \u201cshouted for joy\u201d? It is written, \u201cThe earth is broken, broken down,\u201d meaning shattered. This is so because these judgments, called \u201cGod\u2019s children,\u201d are broken. They all break before the morning, when the morning rises in the world, which is the illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;<em>de<\/em>&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cNow Abraham arose early in the morning.\u201d Abraham is&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>; hence, \u201cand all the sons of God shouted for joy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1) \u201cWhen the morning
