28. He began to tempt her until, as it is written, \u201cAnd the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes,\u201d with a great and strong taste, meaning that it was good for food and pleasant to the eyes. This teaches that the letters Vav and Tav of \u201cand saw\u201d fled and rose up to connect with the letter Mem, and the letter Mem was ascending and descending, and was not connecting with them until Eve was tempted. Then, death was decreed upon the people of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
29. The letters Vav-Tav Dalet-Peh fled and surround the letter Mem from four directions, as it is written, \u201cAnd she took of its fruit and ate, and gave also to her man with her, and the eyes of both of them were opened.\u201d There are four times Vav Tav here, teaching that they surrounded the letter Mem on its four sides, and the Mem in the middle, creating the combination MaVeT [death] on all the sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
30. It is written, \u201cFor death has come up into our windows.\u201d This is Sam, one of the windows of heaven. This is why it is written, \u201cWhat man can live and not see death?\u201d Promptly, he controlled Eve and cast filth in her. The Creator went down to see, and as it is written, \u201cAnd the man and his wife hid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
31. Before they sinned, the Shechina was crowning their heads, meaning it was present in the world for them. Once they sinned, it is as though the power of the Shechina has waned and she departed and did not govern the world, and the Creator began to wail, and said, \u201cHow,\u201d with the letters Aleph-Yod Kaf-Hey, which means \u201cWhat shall become of her,\u201d of Koh, the Shechina, since the governance has been removed from her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here, too, in the ruin of the Temple, the governance has been removed from the Shechina and she no longer controls the world, and the Creator began to lament and said, \u201cHow,\u201d Aleph-Yod Kaf-Hey, which means \u201cwhat shall become of her, of Koh, the Shechina.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
