Daily Morning Lesson: May 24, 2026.
Reader: Now friends, we will watch a recorded lesson on TES with Rabash, the Study of the Ten Sefirot, volume 2, part 5, item 47. Starting with first we will read the letters, or rather first we will read the letters live, this will be item 47, let's read the ARI's words.
Reading: (00:42) The second phase is simple, since now it returns to being Matei in Keter. At that time it is not Matei in Hochma, Bina, and Hesed, and Matei in Gevura, and not Matei in Tifferet, and Matei in Netzach, and not Matei in Hod, and Matei in Yesod, and not Matei in Malchut, and then it repeats as in the beginning. Let's continue to Rabash's lesson.
RABASH (Source Text/Commentary): (01:24) And there's a male in the records of clothing, phase 2. And here he says the same thing, that since in Keter there's 3-2, in Keter of SAG, similar to Hochma of AB. If so, just as there Hochma of AB did a coupling upon the two bits, the two twos, for the sake of the lower degree called Bina, here as well the Kli of Keter that has 3-2 made a coupling upon 3-2 for the sake of her lower one. Where here it is considered 3-2 the lower one, which is Hochma, I'm sorry, that here the lower one is called Hochma. What happens with it? We'll see in a moment.
It comes and tells us that this level that emerged from Keter is included from male and female. The male extends from the male of phase 3 of clothing. The coarseness is considered female, which extends from phase 2 of coarseness. It turns out that the level from which Keter emerged upon the lower degree called Hochma, there is male and female there. From who? From the light, actually.
Whereas the coupling that was made upon the Kli of Hochma of AB, for the sake of his lower one, called Bina, is considered male only. It's called VAK, because it receives this level of the upper one called VAK. Whereas here he says male-female. Why? We could say since there was the male only of 2 of clothing, and 2 of clothing does not rise in 2 of coarseness, the upper degree is always considered a lower degree.
Whereas here, in phase 3 of clothing is important. If this is from 2 of coarseness, that's also important, if it's not the same kind of clothing.
Therefore he says here, in the level that emerged from Keter to Hochma, there's male and female, not the same with the light of Hochma, where the coupling was on the Partzuf AB, for the sake of Bina, for the Partzuf of Partzuf AB.
In additional thing there we learned that Hochma gave to Bina, there was the aspect of VAK, whereas in Bina, Hochma has her three of clothing, and here he gives to the lower one, she's considered Hochma, when it is three of clothing, and it's not similar to there either, right? I'm starting again,
and now we will explain. And now we will clarify the male and female of the Kli of Hochma, for the male and the female of the Kli of Keter couple, and give forth male and female in their example, whereas the male is extended from the form of the male.
Now we're speaking of what? That male and female have been begotten. From where? From 3-2, whereas the male extends from the male form, that is, VAK without GAR. It turns out that he calls it by the name VAK, the male, don't run, the male. Why? Not like in the Kli of Bina of AK, where it extends from Hochma of AB, and then it takes VAK due to being born from that, but rather from another reason. Since this clothing can only illuminate in VAK, which is what we learned in the Partzuf of AB. Where Keter stands below Rosh of AB, and doesn't let the light of Keter to illuminate there because there's no phase four of coarseness there.
We also learned that in SAG, the light of AB, that emerged from AB, stands under the Rosh of AB, while there is phase three of clothing, it doesn't let the GAR to illuminate, only VAK. It turns out, what is it called VAK for? Who is the offspring that is born from it? In another form due to the clothing It's not similar to there, where the light of offspring is called VAK.
Student: Because of the clothing, or because of the offspring?
RABASH (Source Text/Commentary): (07:24) Here, because of clothing. So, he explains to us that the
light of Hochma stands below Malchut of Rosh of AB. It turns out that its posterior is below, towards the emanated in the Guf. And therefore, there is no male of Keter, but rather VAK without GAR.
Here too, we should look deeper, since according to what we learned, means what we say. That only VAK illuminates. This is towards the lower ones. And the Partzuf, no. So, we would learn that the offspring that comes from the phase three of clothing, what is the three of clothing that it can give? Only VAK. This can explain the first question. And he also says that
the male that is born from it, does not have but VAK without GAR.
It doesn't let it give anymore. And who doesn't give? Who's the one who's obstructing? Who prevents it from him? The light of AB, which stands under the Malchut of Rosh of AB. Hence, it doesn't have three of coarseness, and doesn't let it illuminate to the lower ones. Only VAK.
I'll tell you what I'm asking. If we learn that in the Kli of Hochma of AB, there was a coupling upon the two twos, then we learn that in the Kli of Bina, there is the level of phase two. Why? Since it's weak. Why? Because it was born from two twos.
From this, the level that emerged from 3-2 needs to reach the vessel of Hochma, also 3-2. Now, if it's really 3-2 he asks, if there's a difference between 3-2 of the Kli of Keter or the 3-2 of the Kli of Hochma. So he says, if I were to say that there's the same level 3-2, soon we will see if it's so. Let's assume that it does.
There's a difference. 3-2 in the Kli of Hochma, I'm sorry, the Kli of Keter has GAR. Whereas, 3-2 in the Kli of Hochma, the light of AB controls there, where the Kli of Keter will not bestow GAR below. Turns out that they remain in the GAR, and they only have VAK. And there we learned, who is the female of the Kli of Bina? What is the record that remains from the first expansion?
And here, he doesn't think of it as male. Only what? Not as a female. Only what does he think as a female? Phase 2 of coarseness. So it could be that he wants to think about one time ZON here.
However, actually, we need to say the same thing, for also the Kli of Hochma remains with the record of Partzuf AB, like it remained with the records of the Kli of Bina of AB in the Partzuf Galgalta, so they're the same, no differences.
Hence, also the male that is begotten from it, there's no VAK, only has VAK without GAR. And also the female of Keter gives from its form to the female that is begotten from her, as it is the light of Bina.
RABASH (Source Text/Commentary): (11:43) And then, the Kli of Keter is refined, inverts its anterior downwards, meaning it refines Phase Aleph, the first phase, and gives these three lights to the vessel of Hochma.
If now 3 of clothing is refined, he doesn't say here. What does he say? 2 1. Also, we should say that also 3 of clothing is refined to 2. Here, we'll see, he doesn't say it here, we'll see it later on. Only what's written here, meaning that from Phase 1,
it refines and gives these three lights to the vessel of Hochma, which are the male, which is VAK of Hochma,
because the 3 of clothing does not illuminate only VAK in Hochma, and female, which is the light of Bina, which comes from Phase 2 of coarseness, and the level of Phase 1, which is the light of Hesed, including the 7 lower Sefirot. Meaning completely in the manner that was clarified in Atzilut of ZON, of the Kli Bina, with Partzuf AB. And the whole difference is that here, the degrees descended, and all the aspects of light in the vessel of Bina of AB, are here in the Kli of Hochma.
But as I said earlier, there's a difference. There, she took Bina, only VAK, which is the Phase 2 level. Here, she took VAK of 3, which is truly not the same. Only the question is, how we think of male and female of the Kli of Hochma, soon we'll see.
Now, what from the vessel of Bina, so this is something new. The vessel of Bina is incorporated here with the vessel of Hochma. Therefore, there remain in Bina, which was incorporated with the vessel of Hochma, records from ZON, in the time when she was in Partzuf AB, prior to the second departure.
It turns out that even when I say that Bina is incorporated with Hochma, and Bina is incorporated with Hochma, we have it in the past time with clothing, as we learned in Partzuf AB, that it's got expansion, clothing. It's got a record of clothing in Partzuf Galgalta. Likewise, there remains in Bina of SAG, a record that she had in Partzuf AB. He says, but they do not merit a name, since they are equal phases with ZON in the vessel of Hochma.
We could say, even more importantly, ZON in the vessel of Hochma does not rise with a lower phase, does not merit a name with a lower phase anyhow. And likewise, the same coupling that was in the ZON of the vessel of Bina, in Partzuf AB, which engendered one Hey, that descended with the light of the seven bottom Sefirot, until it reached Yesod of Malchut, where the Vav in the Hey Yesod took it, and Malchut took the Dalet in the Hey, just so they made a coupling here in Partzuf Bina, Partzuf SAG. Who made a coupling? ZON in the vessel of Hochma, and also engendered one Hey, descended with the ZAT from vessel to vessel, until she reached the vessels of Yesod of Malchut, where the Vav in her took the Yesod, and the Dalet in her Malchut took.
RABASH (Source Text/Commentary): (17:21) Thus, we explain the four males and four females in the vessels of the Ten Sefirot of the new Partzuf here, from the level of Bina, level of SAG, because the male of the vessel of Keter, let's say he shines VAK of Hochma, and the female of Keter is the level of Bina. This is simple. Two, three, two. And the male and female in the vessel of Hochma is also VAK of Hochma to the male, which is extended from the three of clothing, and the level of Bina to the female, extended from two of coarseness.
He asks, even though in every place, the offspring are regarded as VAK with respect to their progenitors, we therefore learned that the coupling that is made in the vessel of Hochma on the two Beits in Partzuf AB, she gives to Bina. I say VAK of the male, this is called because the lower one takes VAK with respect to the progenitors.
Nevertheless, here in Partzuf SAG, because the male of Keter, the clothing, three of clothing, its light is immense and great, and they are called VAK of Hochma is because of the posterior of the light of Hochma in the Rosh that controls it, so it bestows only VAK. And therefore its offspring is also regarded as VAK, like itself, because it comes in the vessel of Hochma, which has no posterior.
What is he asking here? Even though in every place the offspring are regarded as VAK with respect to their progenitors, here, you're aware, in the vessel of Hochma, in the vessel of Hochma, I'm not saying it receives VAK. What is he saying here? That it receives VAK. What is his question? We say that he is VAK of male, of the male, and from the phase of the female, it's got it from the phase of Bina. So he's asking, why does he not think of VAK for a different reason? VAK is VAK, there's nothing to talk about. He says, why doesn't he say VAK? It's VAK, he says, VAK of the male. So the question here is different. Why there, in the coupling that was made in the vessel of Hochma of AB, and that light goes out to Bina, he says it's called VAK, because it's an offspring. Why? Like a result. Why doesn't he say here, too, that it's called VAK, because of an offspring? That's what he's asking.
Student: For the same reason, same thing he's asking here.
RABASH: (21:30) So what is called VAK? For a different reason. The answer is very simple. Since here, it's not like there, where it's called VAK because of the results, because of the offspring, because of the diminution. Since here, there's a question, is it an offspring, a result, or is it not a result? Or maybe the rule is canceled, or it's not canceled. I must say that here, it's a result, there's nothing to talk about, and I must say that the rule is not canceled. So I'm reiterating, why does he not consider it as VAK? He explains this way. Here, he wants to imply that there is an advantage here, compared to what there isn't in the vessel of Bina. One, first, here, that which comes from the vessel of Keter is three, sorry, from the male of Keter is three, a higher degree. Whereas in Bina, which receives from Hochma, was only two. This is why the light is very pleased. But it cannot shine in the vessel of Keter, while there was a control of Keter. But only VAK, because of the posterior of the light of AB, that stands below the Rosh of AB. Because there is three of clothing all the time, that doesn't let Hochma shine. There’s posterior. So it turns out that the three of clothing, the light that comes from him, descended to the vessel of Hochma. Now its vessel has no control. The posterior is canceled already. So I already have an advantage. Something can take preference from what he will receive from the male. Likewise, the vessel of Bina, though it's a result, it also has an advantage. Since, in Partzuf AB, there was three of coarseness in the vessel of Keter. And what was in the vessel of Hochma? Two of coarseness. A record of two of coarseness remains there. The record of two of coarseness helps the Bina, which received from two of Keter, so it doesn't give her. Like any result, there is an advantage here from what there is in Partzuf of Bina, in the vessel of Bina of Partzuf AB. What was the question? Why is he not saying, according to the known rule, that the coupling that the lower one receives from the upper one, which is called an offspring or a result, is called VAK. Here he does not regard it as such. But what do we call VAK of Hochma? Why does he say that it's called VAK? Because it receives from the three of clothing, from three of clothing called VAK, because of the clothing. So the light of AB doesn't let it shine. Why do we need all those things? Simple, it's a result like Bina, which is a result of the vessel of Hochma from Partzuf AB. Answer. Here he says that it's not like there, where the result, the lower one, the vessel of Hochma, have assistance, which is not similar to there. This is why he doesn't want to say VAK. So he will know it's not similar to there. That's one. What he receives, what he receives from the VAK of the male, he receives VAK of Hochma, three of clothing. It's a great light, which was not in the vessel of Bina, which received from which phase? Two. Here from two, from three, three is a great light. One. The same language. He received encouragement from his vessel while there was this light, which expanded in Keter. There was the governance of the light of AB on the vessel of Keter, so only actual VAK would shine. He had posterior of the light of AB controlling the vessel of Keter of SAG. But when she descended to Hochma, the light of AB does not control Hochma, but this posterior. This is why there is assistance here from the vessel of the lower one, so it will not be called an offspring like there. This completes the clothing for us. Now, the level of Bina of the vessel of Hochma of SAG receives from the vessel of Keter of SAG, where there is Bina of coarseness. It's also not called actual offspring, it's called VAK, because there's assistance here. What assistance?
RABASH: (27:01) There, he says, when he knew of the two of coarseness to the vessel of Hochma, he says, this is difficult, he says, since in the vessel of Hochma there remains two of clothing of Partzuf AB, there was three in Keter of AB, there was two in Hochma of AB, so that record remains. That also helps him make this phase two not be real VAK. Why is it difficult for me? There too, it's the same, where the two of Hochma descended to a Bina, although there is a record there, and we're saying it is called an offspring. That concept is a little perplexing. What is the question? Why do we learn that the coupling that emerged on the two Beits of the vessel of Hochma to the vessel of Bina, he calls it male light for VAK, and the record that remained from the first expansion in the vessel of Bina is regarded only as the female light. Right, GAR, light, but female.
Student: The student says AB.
RABASH: Yes. Why is it called female? Because there's only a record there. You find that the level that there is in Bina is called VAK, whereas here in Partzuf SAG, he asks, why am I not saying that Bina, that Hochma too, who received from the coupling that emerged in the vessel of Keter on 3/2, and he says three is called VAK, that comes from clothing, and two remains in Bina, and two descended to Hochma. And he doesn't say that it's called VAK because of the result, the offspring. So he says, here is not like there, one. Except here I call it VAK because there's clothing from it. Meaning, when the light was shining in the vessel of Keter, we say, what can it to the lower ones? Only VAK. For this reason, the third light, the three of clothing, that descends to the vessel of Hochma, and in the vessel of Hochma, there is no posterior. This is why they have the light of Hochma, called VAK of Hochma. But why is it not called an offspring? Because there is more than there is there from the vessel of Bina. The light that she receives comes from three. So I know, that's simple.
