Part 2:

Rabash. Explanation of the Article, “Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah” (start with: Now let us return to explaining the refinement of the screen.)

Reading (00:34) “Now let us return to explaining the refinement of the screen..”

1. R. (11:16) I feel there are a lot of questions about it. These are not critical details, next?

Reading (11:30) “The Inner Partzuf”

2. S. (14:17) He said that the light of Hassadim is not drawn by the coarseness and is not dependent on it? So what does it depend on?

R. The light of Hassidim? Comes as a desire of the light to be in equivalence of qualities with the light. Hence, that’s how it creates itself.

S. How can you measure such a desire to be equal?

R. A desire to be equal we can measure with a screen and reflected light.

S. But we learn that a screen is measured by coarseness but here it’s not by coarseness?

R. Right because it speaks of Hassadim, the light of Hochma, where relative to working with the coarseness of the Kli?

S. So how do we measure the desire to be equal if it's not by coarseness?

R. We can't, we don't have the ability to equalize with the vessel of Hassadim through restriction, screen and reflected light, it's not the light of Hochma. We can equalize with the vessel of Hassadim only through the action itself.

S. What is the action itself?

R. That we don't receive, we don't work in order to receive with our coarseness and we reject the light.

S. Is this something we can also feel, this desire?

R. We can feel this desire, certainly, quicker than working with the light of Hochma.

S. So how is that felt for us?

R. By shrinking, minimizing our will to receive. In the vessels of Hochma we need to grow the will to receive, then we have to enter into action with it and with the light of Hassadim, as much as we diminish, minimize the will to receive then we turn to action.

S. So there is a measurement: is it by overcoming or what?

R. It's measured by overcoming but the overcoming is different compared to the vessels of the light of Hochma because with the vessels of the light of Hassadim, with the vessels of the light of Hassadim, we can grow ourselves only according to the equivalence of form, when we don't want to receive the light.

Reading (17:38) “Records”

3. S. (24:43) Can we say according to what we just read that the Partzuf is called Partzuf only when the light departs, when there’s refinement?

R. [No Translation]

S. So before there’s a refinement or the reflected light?

R. It is not considered the Partzuf.

S. So how many Partzufim are there exactly? It seems as if there’s infinite Partzufim? 

R. Why? It depends on how you are counting it but we have five worlds, each world has five Partzufim: in total twenty-five Partzufim.

S. But it’s as if every discernment is a Partzufim, every time the light enters and departs?

R. Yeah, this way you can count infinitely because every small movement builds many Partzufim and in all the worlds you can’t have change in one place that does not evoke a reaction in all the worlds. So, yes.

S. So why are they considered one-hundred and twenty-five degrees?

R. Well, you need to count it somehow. You can’t say ad-infinitum, somehow. You can’t say ad-infinitum.

Reading (26:44) “Tags and Letters”
