288. \u201cOn the eighth day, you shall have an assembly,\u201d since this day is only from the king; it is His joy in Israel. There is an allegory about a king who invited guests, and his entire household troubled themselves for them. Finally, the king said to the people in his hall, \u201cUntil now, I and you have troubled ourselves about the guests; you have sacrificed offerings for all the nations each day, seventy bulls. From here on, I and you will be glad one day, as it is written, \u201cOn the eighth day, you shall have an assembly.\u201d \u201cYou,\u201d to sacrifice its offering for you. However, the guests of faith, who were on the seven days of Sukkot, are always with the king, as well as on the eighth of the assembly and in the day of the king\u2019s delight; everyone assembles to it and are with him. This is why it is written \u201cassembly,\u201d which means a gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
289. On that day, Jacob, Tifferet, is the host, and all the other guests\u2014Abraham, Isaac, Moses, \u200eAaron, Joseph, and David\u2014rejoice with him. This is why it is written, \u201cHappy are you, \u200eIsrael, who is like you?\u201d and it is written, \u201cAnd He said unto me, \u2018You are My servant, Israel, \u200ein whom I take pride.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
290. \u201cCommand the children of Israel that they will bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to make the candle burn continually.\u201d Why did the Creator attach this portion to the portion Moadim [Festivals]? All the high candles, the Sefirot, which are the festivals, are candles to light the high anointing oil to draw the abundance of Hochma, which is called \u201coil.\u201d Through Israel, upper ones and lower ones are blessed, and the candles are lit and shine to the world, as it is written, \u201cOil and incense delight the heart,\u201d the joy of the upper ones and lower ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
291. It is written, \u201cDelight in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and sing for joy, all you upright in heart,\u201d and it is written, \u201cThis is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it,\u201d since we must rejoice and shine our faces in the Creator.\u201d Man should be in joy, since it is the joy of the Creator, as it is written, \u201clet us rejoice and be glad in it.\u201d In it, in the day. In it, in the Creator, and it is all one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
292. \u201cDelight in the Lord,\u201d when the judgments grow silent and the mercies awaken. When the mercies awaken, then \u201crejoice, O righteous,\u201d righteous and justice, Yesod and Malchut, blessed together. They are called righteous because they are blessed with bestowing upon the world, and delight to all the world. \u201cAnd sing for joy, all you upright in heart,\u201d the faithful ones, to connect in Yesod and Malchut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
293. Everything requires an act from below in order to awaken above. One who says that there is no need for an action or for words, to bring them out and make a sound in order to awaken above, damned be he. After all, this portion proves, through the lighting of the candles and the incense, as it is written, \u201cOil and incense will delight the heart,\u201d that by this act of lighting the candles and the incense below, there is lighting and joy above and below, and connecting together of Hochma and Bina, since oil awakens the Hochma, and the incense awakens the Bina. The altar below awakens another altar, Malchut; the priest below awakens another priest, Hesed, since by the act below, an act above is awakened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
