1) \u201cThen Judah approached him, and said, \u2018Oh my lord, may your servant please speak … and let not your anger burn against your servant.\u2019\u201d It is as it is written, \u201cFor You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not recognize us. You, O Lord, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is Your name.\u201d When the Creator created the world, each day He did His work properly. On each day, He did as He should have done. When the sixth day arrived and man had to be created, the Torah came before Him and said, \u201cThis man that You wish to create, he is destined to anger You. If you do not have patience, it is better for him to not be born.\u201d The Creator replied to her, \u201cIs it without reason that I am called, \u201cpatient\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2) However, everything was created in the Torah, and everything was perfected in the Torah. And as the Torah begins with the letter Bet, the world was created in the letter Bet. This is so because before the Creator created the world, the Nukva, all the letters came before Him and entered one at a time in reverse order, in the order of Tav-Shin-Reish-Kof and not in the order of Aleph-Bet-Gimel-Dalet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3) The letter Tav came before Him and said, \u201cYou wish to create the world with me.\u201d The Creator replied, \u201cI do not, since many righteous are destined to die in you, as it is written, \u2018And set a mark [Hebrew: Tav] upon the foreheads of the men,\u2019 and it is written, \u2018And begin at My sanctuary\u2019; do not pronounce, \u2018At My sanctuary,\u2019 but rather, \u2018At My sanctified,\u2019 who are the righteous. This is why the world will not be created in you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4) The three letters, Shin-Kof-Reish, approached each on his own. The Creator told them, \u201cYou are unfit for the world to be created in you for you are the letters used for reading Sheker [deceit\/falsehood], and a lie is unworthy of rising before Me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5) The letters Peh and Tzadik approached, and so did all of them until they reached the letter Kaf. When the Kaf descended from the Keter [Keter is written with Kaf in Hebrew], the upper ones and the lower ones were shaken, until everything came to exist in the letter Bet, which is the sign for Beracha [blessing], and in it, the world was perfected and created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6) But the Aleph is the head of all the letters, so should the world not have been created with it? Yes, indeed, but since Arur [cursed] is read with it, the world was not created in it. Thus, although Aleph is a letter from above, the world was not created in it so as to not give strength and fortification to the Sitra Achra, who is called \u201ccursed,\u201d hence the world was not created in her. Instead, the world was perfected and created in Bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7) \u201cFor You are our Father,\u201d since this world, the Nukva of ZA, called \u201cYou,\u201d was perfected and created on that degree, in blessing, in Bet, and man, too, was created in it and came to the world. This is why the Nukva is regarded as the root of man, and we say to her, \u201cFor You are our Father,\u201d for You are our root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8) \u201cAbraham does not know us.\u201d Even though the sustenance of the world is in him, Hesed, as it is written, \u201cHesed [grace] is built forever,\u201d he did not try with us as he had tried with Ishmael, when he said, \u201cMay Ishmael live before You.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd Israel does not recognize us,\u201d since he left all the blessings that he had to bless his sons for this degree, the Nukva, to bless everyone. It is written about that, \u201cAnd this is what their father said to them.\u201d Nukva is called \u201cthis.\u201d \u201cSaid to them\u201d means for them, meaning their father, that you will bless them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, in the blessing of Ephraim and Menashe, he said, \u201cThe angel who redeems me from all evil,\u201d meaning the Nukva, \u201cBless the boys.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9) \u201cYou are our Father,\u201d the Nukva, since you always stand over us, to bless and to watch over us like a father watching over his children with all that they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur Redeemer from of old is Your name,\u201d since You, the Nukva, is the Redeemer. She is also called \u201cthe redeeming angel,\u201d and this is the meaning of \u201cOur Redeemer from of old is Your name.\u201d \u201cYour name\u201d indeed, since the Nukva is called by the name, HaVaYaH, and there is no cessation between redemption and prayer, between the blessing, \u201cRedeem Israel\u201d and the Eighteen Prayer [two adjacent sections in the Jewish prayer], as there is no cessation between the blessing for the hand-Tefillin and the blessing for the head-Tefillin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is written, \u201cThen Judah approached him, and said, \u2018Oh my lord.\u2019\u201d It seems as though it would have been enough to say, \u201cThen Judah approached him.\u201d However, as it is written, \u201cFor You are our Father,\u201d where first, both Adam and Nukva of ZA are at the same degree, in revealed Hassadim in illumination of Hochma. Adam was created with the name \u201cPatient One\u201d [in Hebrew: Erech Apayim, \u201clong nose\u201d], which indicates that He stretches His nose and does not reveal it so Adam would be able to receive GAR of illumination of Hochma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is the same with the world; Nukva of ZA was created in Bet, which is a dot in His hall, which is a sign for blessing, a beginning of disclosure of Mochin of GAR of illumination of Hochma. As is explained, the letter Aleph is hidden animals, Hassadim that are covered from Hochma, and Bet is disclosed animals, Hassadim that are revealed in illumination of Hochma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israel said to the Nukva of ZA, which is called \u201cYou,\u201d \u201cFor You are our Father,\u201d since she was the revealed world. This is because the Nukva from Chazeh of ZA and above is called \u201cHe,\u201d hidden, and not \u201cYou.\u201d And since she is a world that is revealed with illumination of Hochma, she was told, \u201cFor You are our Father,\u201d since the children of Israel, too, are from the degree of the revealed world. This is why it was created with the name, \u201cPatient One\u201d [in Hebrew: the one with long nose].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThough Abraham does not know us,\u201d meaning he did not try with us as he tried with Ishmael, as it is written, \u201cMay Ishmael live before You.\u201d Ishmael means he was circumcised but he did not expose Koh [Yod-Hey], meaning he does not draw GAR of Hochma, called Koh. His word is in emptiness, in VAK, without Mochin of illumination of Hochma. And since he needs Hochma because he is from the Chazeh down, but hasn\u2019t any, he is therefore regarded as \u201cwaste of the right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Abraham is Hassadim of the right, Bina, who does not need Hochma. For this reason, he is covered from Hochma, as it is written, \u201cbecause he delights in mercy [Hesed].\u201d This is why he prayed primarily for the Hassadim that are hidden from Hochma, since all his longing and desire aim for them. This is why it is written, \u201cMay Ishmael live before You.\u201d He did not say that about Isaac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It therefore follows that \u201cAbraham does not know us\u201d means that his Daat is not revealed to us. \u201cAnd Israel does not recognize us,\u201d since Israel is the middle line, from Chazeh of ZA and above, where there is the world that is covered from illumination of Hochma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hence, he left the blessings that he had to bless his sons for this degree, the Nukva, to bless everyone, since his sons are from the Chazeh down, which is the world that is revealed in illumination of Hochma. And since he is regarded as merely covered Hassadim, he could not bless them. This is why he left their blessing in the hands of the Nukva, who is the revealed world, so she would bless them. Thus, Israel will not recognize our needs so as to satisfy us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is why they said to the Nukva, \u201cFor You are our Father,\u201d the Nukva, since you always stand over us, to bless and to watch over us as a father watching over the sons for everything they need, both Hassadim and Hochma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur Redeemer from of old is Your name,\u201d since You, the Nukva, are the Redeemer. This is so because there is redemption only in Mochin of illumination of Hochma; hence, the Nukva is called \u201cthe redeeming angel,\u201d with respect to the children of Israel. Also, Yesod of ZA, called \u201cJoseph,\u201d is called \u201credeemer\u201d with respect to the Nukva because it bestows these Mochin of illumination of Hochma upon her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the reason why there is no cessation between redemption and prayer, between Yesod and Nukva, for it is their unification that we need. This is also why there is no cessation between the hand-Tefillin, the Nukva, and the head-Tefillin, ZA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This explains the verse, \u201cThen Judah approached him.\u201d Judah is the Nukva, a prayer, and Joseph is redemption. The text tells us that they approached each other for a coupling, until, \u201cJoseph could not refrain himself,\u201d and revealed those Mochin to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
