And because He desired them,<\/strong>&nbsp;He called them, \u201cHoly firstborn sons,\u201d brothers, as though He came down to live with them, as it is written, \u201cAnd let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.\u201d He wished to correct them such as above, placed seven clouds of glory over them, and His Divinity walks before them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>16)&nbsp;<strong>Woe to people who do not notice and do not engage in their Master\u2019s glory, nor regard the upper&nbsp;<em>Kedusha<\/em>&nbsp;[holiness], to be sanctified in this world and to be holy in the next world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>27-28)&nbsp;<strong>There it said \u201csong,\u201d and here, \u201csinging.\u201d \u201cSong\u201d is male,&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, and \u201csinging\u201d is&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><em>Nukva<\/em><\/strong><strong>,&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><em>Malchut<\/em><\/strong><strong>.<\/strong>&nbsp;Compared to Moses, all the prophets are as a monkey in the eyes of people. They said, \u201csong,\u201d meaning \u201cThe Song of Songs,\u201d \u201cA psalm, a song for the Sabbath day,\u201d and Moses said \u201csinging.\u201d But should Moses not have said, \u201csong,\u201d and they, \u201csinging\u201d? Yet, Moses did not say it to himself, but for Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is therefore clear that Moses was at a higher degree than all of them. Moses rose from below upward and they descended from above downward. Moses rose from below upward, as we learn that sanctity is increased, not decreased. Moses rose from below upward, saying the singing, which is the praise of the queen, who praises the king, and he began with&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, while Moses himself united with the king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It follows that his singing rose from below upward, and they descended from above downward, saying a song, male, the praise, that the King praises the queen, and they united in the queen. It follows that their song is from above downward, from&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. Hence, by that, Moses\u2019 merit is recognized as more than all the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>34-35)&nbsp;<strong>For this reason, a man should establish his Master\u2019s praise in the same way<\/strong>. First, from below upward, raising his Master\u2019s glory,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, to a place from which the potion of the depth of the well pours forth, the place of&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, and then to extend from above downward, from the potion of the stream,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, to every degree of&nbsp;<em>ZAT<\/em>, through the last degree,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, to extend blessings to all from above downward. Afterwards a tie of faith must be tied to all, to connect everything to&nbsp;<em>Ein Sof<\/em>. This is a man who respects the name of his Master, to unify the holy name. This is why it is written, \u201cFor them that honor Me I will honor,\u201d meaning for those who honor Me in this world, I will honor in the next world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd they that despise Me shall be esteemed lightly.\u201d This is one who does not know how to unify the holy name and tie the knot of faith, to extend blessings to the required place, and to honor the name of his Master. Anyone who does not know how to honor his Master\u2019s name would be better off not being born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>37-39)&nbsp;<strong>When Israel below keep their answering of Amen and aim their hearts as they should<\/strong>, several doors of blessing open above, there is much goodness in all the world, and there is joy in everything. What is Israel\u2019s reward for causing it? Their reward is in this world and in the next world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this world, when they are afflicted and they pray their prayer before their Master, the voice declares through all the worlds, \u201cOpen the gates and let in the righteous, loyal nation.\u201d Do not pronounce it \u201cloyal,\u201d but Amens [a similar pronunciation in Hebrew], who observe their answering Amen. \u201cOpen the gates,\u201d as Israel opened the gates of blessings for them, now open the gates and let the prayer of those who are afflicted be answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is their reward in this world. What is their reward in the next world? When a man who observed answering Amen departs this world, what does he observe? That is, he observe that blessing which the sayer blesses and he waits for him to answer after it, \u201cAmen,\u201d as he should? At that time, his soul rises and declares before him, \u201cOpen the gates before him,\u201d as he opened the gates each day when he was loyal, meaning Amens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is Amen? Amen is the spring of the stream that extends,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>. It is called Amen, as it is written, \u201cAnd I was beside Him as an apprentice.\u201d Do not pronounce it&nbsp;<em>Amon<\/em>&nbsp;[apprentice], but Amen. Keeping all the degrees\u2014that river that stretches out,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>\u2014is called \u201cAmen,\u201d as it is written, \u201cFrom the world and to the world,\u201d from the world above,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, to the world below,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. Here, too, Amen and Amen, Amen of above,&nbsp;<em>Bina<\/em>, Amen of below,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>. Amen means keeping of them all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1)&nbsp;Happy are Israel, whom the Creator desires.
