Dark and light hair


Hair that is 'ke'amar nekei' - like clean wool is on the side of chesed - kindness while - taltalim schorot ke'orev - locks dark like a raven is gevurah - strictness.
The white (yeriot Shlomo) corresponds to mizvot as'e -positive commandments while the dark corresponds to the mitzvot lo-tase - negative commandments.
Its compared to a raven, even though they are achzari - cruel, because the it is only with shlila and harchakos - pushing away the bad that you get closer to the atzmiut - essence. 
Like a king who does not pay attention to even the things he likes, but you will catch his attention with something that he hates. The shlila - negative touches closer.

'ohr chadash al tzion tapir' - 'a new light on tzion will shine' refers to the chesed lifnei hatzimtzum being me'ir onto the chakika of tehira ila - 'yud de'sag' - in the lashon of the Emek Hamelech.

K'e'aholei Kedar' - 'tents of Kedar' refers to the yenika - nurturing of klipa - shell-like covering from the or makif - encompassing light. However, the 'tents of the kedar' implys that they themselves are the makif, not just that they receive from it.
This is compared to the klipa - peel that comes befor the pro - fruit or the shlia that sourounds a baby. 
Yishmael came out from Avraham before for this reason before Yitzchok. Ke'aholei kedar refers to Yishmael. The red dinim - judgments of Eisav are a similar concept.
Eisav came out before Yakov for this is reason and for this reason he was covered with hair which is like the hamshacha - drawing down of the ohr makif that can only come down like hairs.

The concept of Ke'aholei Kedar refers is like yeriot Shlomo because the whitness of Yeriot Shlomo refers to the source of all whiteness, not whiteness itself. This level is an opaque whiteness which can be equated with the darkness of aholei Kedar before the tzimtzum. The 'whiteness' before the tzimtzum corresponds with 'Lavan'. Kissing his sons and daughters refers to the giluy of the 'levanonis' - 'whiteness'  of into the partzufei Atz' until the shvatim as they are in Briah. 'Levanon' refers to a higher level than this, the source of white, beyond white, with two 'nunns' as a double measure, one a nun peshuta to draw it down.

Yakov said to Eisav כה אמר עבדך יעקב. - the word כ״ה hints to the acceptance of  מלכות שמים in the 25 letters of the pasuk שמע ישראל, the concept of עבדך. We say "listen ישראל,"  like it says in this pasuk, "thus says Yakov.״ He then says עם לבן גרתי I lived with Lavan, גרתי גימט׳ תרי״ג, this refers to the second paragraph of Shma, והיה the acceptance of the מצוות.  This is like our sages said about Shma, why do we preface the first paragraph of Shma to the second? To first accept upon yourself the rule of heaven and afterwards the rule of the מצוות. Ohr Hatorah Vayishlach, Mamer Im Lavan Garti

There both is and isn't a mazel for Israel and how the name Moshe is not reflexive. The two opinions in Gemara about whether or not -יש מזל לישראל Israel is under the influence of "mazal" are actually both in agreement with each other מר אמר חדא ומר אמר חדא ולא פליגי. The mazal that Israel does not have is to be under the influence of the astrological signs and heavenly מזלות. Where Israel does have mazal is the higher concept of mazal, beyond nature. About this it states, "everything is dependent on mazal, even the sefer Torah in the heichal." Hence, Avraham was told to leave his land, since, as Rashi explains, "here you won't have children." If Avraham was beyond the mazal already, this would not have mattered.(Even with his name change where he was told - "leave behind your astrology", it was that the mazal of "Avraham" would have children even if the name "Avram" wouldn't.) Under the mazal,

Ahavat Aztmo

Ahavat Aztmo is usually hidden. It is only revealed at certain times, for example, when a person is in danger.  It is then that a person strives with the utmost and for self preservation. -Mittler Rebbe With this we can, perhaps, get insite into the mitzah of loving ones fellowman like yourself.  First, it is the hidden level that you are loving, not the revealed.  Second, expressing this love means striving to the point of self sacrifice to preserve the well being of another who is in trouble.
