Mamalacha and Memshala, Shchina and Schinta


Mamalacha and Memshala, Shchina and Schinta
Lecha Hashem Hamamlacha - To you Hashem is kingship refers to Malchut as it is in Atz'.
Ve'ata Moshel Ba'kol - You rule over all refers to Malchut as it is revealed into lower worlds.
3 levels.
Malchut de'ein sof - Asher Malach be'terem kol yetzur nivrah.
Malchut as it is in atz'
Malchut as it is goes down into time
'Hashem malach' - was king in the past tense refers to Malchut before the tzimtzum.
Hashem Melech - is king refers to Malchut as it comes down into zman - time.
This is why women are not obligated in mitzvot she'hazman grama - Mitzovot that are caused by time, because they come from this level. (They are rooted in the cause, so, free from the effect.)
Hashem Yimloch refers to hamshacha - drawing down of higher than time into time, like "(ve'achal) ve'chai le'olam" - eating from the tree (under the domain of 'time') and living forever and David Melech Yisrael Chai ve'kayaim - King David is alive and well etc.
The term 'Shchina' refers to Malchut as it is 'shochen' or 'sho're' dwelling from above to below, from Atz' to BY"A
'Shchinta' refers to Malchut as in "shochnim" yachad - tav lemeitav tan du, two together is better than one, ha'pam yizbeleni ishi - now my husband will join me in Atzilut itself.
This is what is refered to by "leshem Yichud KBH"U uh shchintei" and why shchinta ilah and shichnta tata are concepts in Atz' itself, since both are under the term 'Shchinta'.

The 16 expressions of forgiveness

The 16 different expressions of forgiveness, extended explanation. Translation by Rabbi Mendy Greenstein  Kapara - atonement, “atone for your nation Israel. כפרה - כפר לעמך ישראל . When you are in debt to get forgiven for it you need to give a כופר נפש , a payment of your soul. This is  judgment that descends upon you and a difficulty you go through in order to atone. A direct exchange for atonement all at once. Thus, on Yom “Kippurim” we ask for complete forgiveness in the merit the five עינוים afflictions we subject ourselves to.  Slicha - forgiveness, by the golden calf, “and Hashem says, I have forgiven, as you said” סליחה - ויאמר ה׳ סלחתי כדבריך . The idea is forgiveness for now, but the punishment is still in the wings and has not gone away. Even if there is punishment for now, to affect the forgiveness, it is not over. Just as by the golden calf it states וביום פוקדי ופקדתי , “on the day I remember (to punish you for a sin) I remember (to pu...

The concept of רוח מלפני יעטוף - the "wind" in this verse as referring to the נפש אלוקית - the divine soul. In the first chapter of Tanya the verse in Yishayahu 57:16 ונשמות אני עשיתי - "and I have made souls", is quoted as a proof that the soul is actually composed of two. The beginning of this verse states, not quoted directly is, רוח מלפני יעטוף - "a spirit that comes from before me enshrouds you". While this part of the verse might refer to the soul in general, which is divids into two, as the end of the verse continues, " and I have made souls", in the plural, this first part of the verse might also refer to the נפש אלוקית in particular. That is, the concept of רוח.  The word "Ruach" refers to a radiance of divine light of the soul, according to one interpretation in the following Medrash Hagadol (ויגש דף תשנב): Skip the brackets below to get to the relevant quote. ["...It is written "לעשות לרוח משקל - to...

'Ein bal ha'nes makir be'niso' according to the Mittler Rebbe

  'Ein bal ha'nes makir be'niso' means, not that you do not recognize the miracles going on. Rather, it means that you do not know what you did to deserve the miracles that happen to you. Usually, divine response is reciprocal.   However, Hashem also gives constantly even if you did not call to him. This is because of 'Ani Yeshena ve'libi er' - Hashem's 'heart' is awake even though he is, so to spe ak, 'asleep' in the exile. This is the concept of Hashem answering you before you ask - 'terem yikre'u ani e'e'ne.' -Mittler Rebbe Perhaps this is parralleled in the pasuk 'nidrashit le'lo sha'alu, nimtzeti le'lo bikshuni, amarti, heneni, hineni el goy lo korah be'shmi' - I am in answer to those who did not ask for me, found by those who did not search for me, I say, "Here I am! Here I am" to a nation who does not even call in my name.' (Yishaya 65:1)
