Part 2: RABASH. "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 2. Part 6. #4

Reader: Dear friends, we are starting today, and every Friday evening, Saturday morning, we'll be watching the “Study of the Ten Sefirot” with Rabash. We're starting with part six, the text of The ARI, item four. We will read it together from the “Study of the Ten Sefirot,” second volume, part six, item four, the text of The ARI. 

Reading: (00:45) "Study of the Ten Sefirot" (TES). Vol. 2. Part 6. #4

4. Afterward, it elicited the external phases to clothe it. First, it elicited lights from the general, inner AB, which is the Se’arot [hair] of the Keter, surrounding its Rosh from the outside up to the Metzach and up to the Oznayim. Afterward, it elicited the Se’arot of the Zakan [beard] that are extended from the general SAG called Nekudim, from which the general three Mochin in it were made.

Reader: And now we're going to enter a lesson of Rabash.

RABASH (Source Text/Commentary): (01:23) There is equivalence with light there — just listen. Just listen without questions. If he says so, if everything is below Tabur, it is related to VAK, ZON; and since the second Aviut, the coarseness from two to one, and then the Kelim are filled — the vessels are filled with VAK of SAG. Is that clear? He asked a question here. What resemblance does it mean that VAK…, that it is VAK? This is VAK of phase four, and it's VAK of phase two. How can you say that there's equivalence between them? And he asks — do you understand the question here? Just listen. The answer is: if there's equivalence between GAR and VAK, that's enough. But when the light shines, and it's not clear that this is a small degree or it's a large degree, the vessels — he says — they need to have equivalence between GAR and VAK. But once the vessel has equivalence with VAK, it can already receive VAK. But this is a small degree, and while the light shines, it is not apparent that it is a small degree. You just need to listen. If so, how do we distinguish phase two, phase three, phase four? And if that light shines there, and there's no distinction at all, but we see big differences, great distinctions? The answer is: when the light departs, and the record, the Reshimo remains, the record has a difference between the big, the great degree and the small degree. And with the light, it's otherwise; why? If we say the light is called eternal and doesn't have any deficiency in it, then at the moment the light comes, and it already has a deficiency, it is no longer called... That's why it stands on some degree, and the light is obligated to fill it to the full measure. And from here it follows that the equivalence must be between GAR and VAK in order to be able to receive the light. And once the light is received, there is no longer a difference. And here — you understand? You don't understand. Here you can ask questions about it. There's no difference between… the light is called completeness — and there is a deficiency; it's no longer called light. Do you understand this explanation? You can ask about that. The main thing is there. And here, there's a great question that's asked. And he tells us: yes, there is a difference between these Kilim. When the Partzuf from Galgalta left, and the vessels remained empty, and the record remained inside, and there's a deficiency of light, and Chaim Vital was asking this question in the “Tree of Life.” But in the second expansion, when this coarse light comes and fills the vessel, the answer is that only the light of Hochma is in the vessel of Keter, and the light of Bina in the vessel of Hochma; it doesn't have its own light in the vessel of Keter. Only in the light of Hochma, it lacks in Keter. This is why we say: when the light is shining, there is no deficiency. So, how can we call it that there is a difference?

RABASH (Source Text/Commentary): (06:19) There's another way to explain it: the Reshimo that remained there, but this record is not yet revealed. For example, we say that the vessel of Keter has a coarseness of three, and it has the light of Hochma, but the three of the clothing remained there, remained in the vessel, and it's not receiving the filling. So, what is happening here? When we are speaking of the Partzuf of Galgalta, there is a record of ZON there of four three. And now ZON comes — one and two, let's say, MA and BON, the level of two. We can also say that MA and BON, four, three, do not receive fulfillment, but only MA and BON of the second phase. And if so, it's the same thing: they don't receive filling. But we must say that there is indeed some difference in here. It is assumed that when the light shines, it is not apparent which one is a small degree or a great degree. This is a bit difficult, complicated. What are you asking? How... wait, how does AB fill the empty vessels? And it also says: what records remain there? Four, three. No, you are right — four, three, four. So, what do we receive? We come to four, three. About this... no, this is not it. No, this is not the right — the correct Dalet, Gimel. The correct one is — and here there is Dalet Gimel, ZON of four three, VAK of four three, MA and BON of four three. And the light that comes now is MA and BON at three and two. We can say, on three two, when they were weakened from that, from which level? The level of Bina. Let me say it differently: this is MA and BON, this is MA and BON, this is MA and BON that remained there from phase two. But yes, you're right, we can ask. And another one, one more degree — with this we can explain… 

RABASH (Source Text/Commentary): (09:43) Look, when we say Partzuf of Galgalta had… in other words, phase four, the entire phase four was weakened, or refined, then another question comes up: what's remaining in Galgalta? Only correct two three, that remains. There's no four — four was refined. So, what's a record? It's what was impressed by some degree. In other words, it can right now overcome itself, if we're speaking about the Aviut of four, coarseness of Keter, coarseness of the root. Four, can it try to bestow? What does it want — only simply three. What... the Tabur of Galgalta? What do you want? It's not that the record remained, that the record of four of clothing remains. But remember — don't forget — that there's nothing, nothing that remains. I'm not speaking of AB. In the Partzuf Galgalta, nothing remains. Just think: the question is, so when I say that a coupling was made on the coarseness of three, and that's three, but that's not three, that's in four — where does it... with whom does it remain? For AB or for Galgalta, I ask? For Galgalta: what do you want? I hear. You're asking me if I'm saying that only the coarseness, except the coarseness of phase three? Listen: we learn that when the light departs, the record remains from the vessels — yes or no? 

Student: Yes. 

RABASH: (12:31) What record remains? More from the clothing? The clothing remains? But the coarseness does not remain. If so, can I say that afterward the light of Hochma comes, the coarseness of three? That's called the vessel of Keter. Why is it called a deficiency? Because the deficiency is in the record of four of clothing, and it remained there and did not receive any filling. So now, what is there? There are records that remain below the Tabur of Galgalta — VAK, four, three. That is, what is VAK, four, three? Once more: above the Tabur, it is filled through AB and SAG; and below the Tabur, which is called VAK, it's not yet filled. So, what kind of records remain in those Kelim? Four of clothing — but only VAK of four of clothing, and VAK of three of coarseness, in the vessels that are below the Tabur of VAK. And then we learn that in the Nekudot of SAG — what is the height of the level of the Nekudot of SAG below the Tabur? Also MA and BON, Vav, Hey, but they are with what coarseness — of phase two? So he asks: what do you mean that there is equivalence between VAK of two and VAK of three? Well, this is three, and this is two. But he explains here that when the light shines, it's not possible to differentiate which is a smaller degree. But then, when is it possible to differentiate that it's a smaller degree? When the light departs — that's when you can differentiate that it's a smaller degree; but for now, it shines as it was. So then the question here is: when the light shines on the coarseness of three in Partzuf AB, the record of four remains, it did not receive the filling, so what is the difference? He asked this question, and we say that AB fills the coarseness of three and remained in Partzuf Galgalta. SAG fills the coarseness of two that remain in the Bet of Aviut, that remain in the Partzuf AB — and we say that SAG fulfills it. Who? Three. How? We can explain it in the same way that he explains here: when the light shines from Keter. You asked here: who, of AB — which is to Galgalta? Just three. We said Galgalta is filled by AB and SAG. What does SAG have? Two. And how can two fill three that is inside Galgalta? What does he explain? As long as it does not shine, it's not called a smaller or a greater degree. In the light, there is no deficiency — so then what's called a deficiency? When the light departs. That's how it is written.
