Upper&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, is crowned, and all the candles, the&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, shine from her. And they said about themselves, \u201ctwo thin souls fly out,\u201d meaning raise&nbsp;<em>MAN<\/em>&nbsp;with their Torah. And all the best-men, who raise&nbsp;<em>MAN<\/em>&nbsp;through their Torah, tie the&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>&nbsp;and from there draw her light below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>21) The Creator preceded us on that day to make miracles for us. They entered and saw two people engaged in Torah. One said, \u201cHow precious is Your grace, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.\u201d They rose up, and all sat and all rejoiced. He said, \u201c\u2018How precious is Your grace, O God,\u2019 for I have found you. The Creator has been gracious with us in this place, now light the candles,\u201d meaning they said words of Torah to raise&nbsp;<em>MAN<\/em>, to light the&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>&nbsp;through&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>22) \u201cWhen you mount the candles\u201d means when you actually mount, light up. This is because two operations were done by the priest, which are one tie: the oil and the incense,&nbsp;<em>HB<\/em>, as it is written, \u201cOil and perfume make the heart glad.\u201d It is written, \u201cAaron shall burn fragrant incense on it\u2026 when he dresses the candles, he shall burn it.\u201d It is also written, \u201cAnd when Aaron lights the candles at dusk, he shall burn it.\u201d What is the difference that makes it say \u201cdresses\u201d here and \u201cmounts\u201d there? He said, \u201cdressing and mounting are the same thing, for dressing is like lighting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>23) \u201cWhen he dresses.\u201d It is written, \u201cFor your love is better than wine.\u201d This is so because the saturated from wine, which are the satiated, are good, as it is written, \u201cFor then had we plenty of bread, and were good.\u201d This means that anyone who has been satiated by wine or bread, which is lights of&nbsp;<em>GAR<\/em>, is called \u201cgood.\u201d It turns out that \u201cWhen he dresses the candles\u201d means extending the abundance of lights, called \u201cwine\u201d and \u201cbread,\u201d which are illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is an actual benefit, and not that the benefit is a result of the abundance of lights. Rather, the lights of the feast, the illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, are called \u201cbenefit,\u201d as it is written, \u201cHe that is of a merry heart has a continual feast.\u201d \u201cWhen you mount\u201d means that when the&nbsp;<em>Sefirot<\/em>&nbsp;are watered and saturated by the potion of the river, the river of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, whose potion is from&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, the upper ones rise and there are blessings in everyone, and everyone rejoices. It turns out that the dressing of the candles is illumination of&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>, wine, which extends from&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, and the raising of the candles is drawing abundant&nbsp;<em>Hassadim<\/em>&nbsp;without cessation from the&nbsp;<em>Hochma<\/em>. This is why it writes, \u201cWhen you mount.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>24) When the deepest of all\u2014upper&nbsp;<em>Aba<\/em>\u2014shines, He shines in the river, in upper&nbsp;<em>Ima<\/em>, and the river stretches directly through the middle line,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, to water everything, all the degrees in&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. It is written about that time, \u201cWhen you mount,\u201d since everything stems from the deepest of all. \u201cWhen you mount\u201d means that it comes from the Upper One, the deepest of all, called \u201cthought,\u201d which is&nbsp;<em>Aba<\/em>, and all is one thing. At that time, the assembly of Israel is blessed and the blessings are in all the worlds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20) \u201cWhen you mount the candles, the seven candles
