Part 1:

Zohar for All. "Introduction of The Book of Zohar". The Thirteenth Commandment. #246

1. Rav’s Introduction: (00:28) [missing translation] Let’s read, please go ahead.

Reading 13th Commandment (00:50) “The 13th commandment is the one..”

2. R. (02:15) This means that if a person doesn't carry out this commandment, this commandment of the redemption of the son he seemingly does not extend life to his son, meaning, he has to carry out this commandment with the hope that by this he acquires life for him, so that the person and his son, the angel of life and the angel of death, those are those forces that operate within a person and we have to revive them and tie them together correctly, without the angel of death, the angel of life will also not exist. This is how we continue.

Reading continues (03:15) “We learn from the words,..”

3. R. (07:12) That is we see here that those two forces, the good force and the seemingly bad force, operate within a person and the person learns how to get along with them and how he can use the good force and then use the bad force correctly. These two things later on join together and they reach a state where the very good is the angel of death, specifically where they correct the angel of death which is in order to receive one reaches his eternal life.

4. S. (08:08) Should a person choose between one of the angels or should he try to keep some middle ground?

R. A person should always keep himself so that he will be drawn to life; to in order to bestow as much as possible he will be adhered to that and he will allow his angel of death if it rises and he can identify it he will not give it any room to have life, to live.

S. Usually we see that we are more drawn to this angel of death, how do we, I don't really have the words but how are we supposed to cover it with good, basically?

R. How will we be drawn to the angel of death or to the angel of life?

S. I'm saying that naturally it seems that we are drawn more to reception than bestowal, so how, what gives life to the angel of life?

R. You add life to the angel of life only through connection, connection with the friends with the other parts of creation. Whereas to the angel of death, you add and give life only when you disconnect from them, from all the parts of creation and you live it as it is.

S.This connection has some degrees?

R. Of course through all 125 degrees by which we rise until the correction. And it happens so that the angel of death seemingly weakens in its basic function and then gradually joins the role of the angel of life. And then both angels (and the angel of death) act in the same way as the angel of life. Therefore we say: “On the eve of Shabbat we welcome two angels”. Two angel servants come to raise a man to the level of eternal life.

5. S. (10:45) How do we increase life between us?

R. In the ten, everything that divides us is the angel of death. Everything that divides us. And the opposite is the angel of life. And the more they are, the harder and the more opposite they are to each other, the harder it is to connect them... means that we are at higher levels of the angel of life.

6. S. (11:35) It is written that thanks to the commandment of the redemption of the son, that evil force leaves him, what is this redemption?

R. The part of the will to receive that is under the angel of death, under the intention of in order to receive he is being corrected and it will be corrected and then I will be able to perform with the actions just as with the good angel the angel of life.

S. What do I acquire and what does it mean?

R. To get some part which is under the control of the angel of death and then you use it in order to bestow.

S. It's some kind of an addition to the work?

R. Yes, the reflected light and all of the corrections that we do in each and every level when we rise higher and higher, it means that we bring out the force of the will to receive from the in order to receive and gradually we add it to in order to bestow.

S. And what is the redeeming of the firstborn?

R. The first son is the will to receive, we start from that this is what the Creator created and we through our corrections, we correct it.

S. And the redeeming of the firstborn is that I cover this desire with a screen?

R. Correct.

7. S. (13:55) He speaks about the preparation that one has to do so that the evil will not be able to grip it, preparation for the light of Haya, for the Mochin on the day of the Sabbath. What is this preparation and what is the change that occurs in the created being that allows him to be in a state where the evil cannot grip him?

R. A person is in the middle between the good inclination and the evil inclination. The good inclination and the evil inclination seemingly fight over the person and so we say, we come in peace, the angel of peace, meaning we want to draw these forces and use them in order to correct the person. And this is actually what we try to do during our life, until they surrender, these forces surrender one under the other, and the angel of death becomes the good angel as well. First we want to correct, if possible, and emphasize and to increase the good angel, meaning to bestow in order to bestow, and later also the angel of death would come in and surrender under the intention to bestow, meaning receiving in order to bestow. And this is how we reach the complete correction.
