Angels Anger Compassion Destruction Firmaments Klipot (Shells – Negativity) Prayer Prosecution Samael Serpent Seven Shells (Klipot)

184. If the prayer is not complete, many demons pursue it, as it is written: "All her prosecutors overtook her within the straits" (Eichah 1:3). This is why people pray, "But He was full of compassion, forgiving iniquity... (Heb. vehu rachum...)" (Tehilim 78:38) AGAINST THE FOUR KLIPOT. "INIQUITY" REFERS TO Samael, who is the Serpent; "and He did not destroy" alludes to the Angel of Destruction; "often He turned away His anger" refers to THE KLIPAH CALLED anger; and "not stirring up all His wrath" refers to THE KLIPAH CALLED wrath. AND WE PRAY that these FOUR KLIPOT do not pursue the prayer, as many demons are attached to these KLIPOT. There are seven ministers, who have seventy more attached to them. Those seventy bring allegations in each and every firmament through which the prayer passes and 700 million demons are attached to them.

Adonai Earth Fear Head Prayer Precepts Talit Tfilin Yud Hei Vav Hei (YHVH)

185. If the prayer ascends complete, with the precept of covering of TALIT AND Tefilin of the head and of the arm, it is said of them: "All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of Hashem; and they shall be afraid of you" (Devarim 28:10). The phrase: "The name of Hashem" has already been explained as the Tefilin of the head. Whoever sees the name Yud Hei Vav Hei over the head in the prayer, which is THE NAME Adonai, shall immediately flee, as it is written: "A thousand shall fall at your side" (Tehilim 91:7).

185. וְאִי צְלוֹתָא סַלְקָא שְׁלֵימָא, בְּעִטּוּפָא דְמִצְוָה וּתְפִילִּין עַל רֵישָׁא וּדְרוֹעָא, אִתְּמָר בְּהוֹ וְרָאוּ כָּל עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ כִּי שֵׁם הוי"ה נִקְרָא עָלֶיךָ וְיָרְאוּ מִמֶּךָּ. שֵׁם ה' אוֹקְמוּהָ דְּאִיהִי תְּפִילִין דְּרֵישָׁא, וּמָאן דַּחֲזֵי שֵׁם הוי"ה עַל רֵישָׁא בִּצְלוֹתָא, דְּאִיהִי אדנ"י, מִיָּד כָּלְהוֹן בָּרְחִין הה"ד יִפּוֹל מִצִּדְךָ אֶלֶף וגו'.

Bread Edom Exile Fear House Jacob Joseph Klipot (Shells – Negativity) Leah Merit Peace Prayer Rachel Shells (Klipot) Suffering Temple, The

186. Because Jacob saw through the Holy Spirit the oppression of the last exile, in the end of days, it is said of him, "Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed" (Beresheet 32:8). As a result, he divided the holy nation in exile into three parts, as it is written: "And he put the handmaids and their children foremost" (Beresheet 33:2). THIS MEANS at first in the exile of Edom, "and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last of all." Because he saw their eventual poverty and suffering, HE PRAYED FOR THEM: "So that I come back to my father's house in peace" (Beresheet 28:21), SO THAT THEY MAY HAVE THE MERIT TO BE REDEEMED AND RETURN TO THE TEMPLE. He said IN PRAYER: "And will give me bread to eat, and clothing to wear" (Ibid.), THAT THE KLIPOT WILL NOT OVERCOME THEM TO STOP THEIR ABUNDANCE.

186. וְיַעֲקֹב בְּגִין דְּחָמָא בְּרוּחָא דְקוּדְשָׁא דּוֹחֲקָא דְגָלוּתָא בַּתְרָאָה בְּסוֹף יוֹמַיָּיא וַיִּירָא יַעֲקֹב מְאֹד וַיֵּצֶר לוֹ וּפָלֵיג עַמָּא קַדִּישָׁא בְּגָלוּתָא לְג' סִטְרִין. כד"א וַיָּשֶׁם אֶת הַשְּׁפָחוֹת וְאֶת יַלְדֵיהֶן רִאשׁוֹנָה בְּרֵישָׁא, בְּגָלוּתָא דֶאֱדוֹם, וְאֶת לֵאָה וִילָדֶיהָ אַחֲרוֹנִים, וְאֶת רָחֵל וְאֶת יוֹסֵף אַחֲרוֹנִים. וּבְגִין דְּחָמָא בָּתַר כֵּן עֲנִיּוּתָא וְצַעֲרָא דִלְהוֹן, אֲמַר וְשַׁבְתִּי בְּשָׁלוֹם אֶל בֵּית אָבִי, וַאֲמַר וְנָתַן לִי לֶחֶם לֶאֱכוֹל וּבֶגֶד לִלְבּוֹשׁ.

David Exile Poor Prayer Samuel Shechinah Ten

187. Because of this exile, David described THE SHECHINAH AS "hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness" (II Shmuel 17:29), because he saw the Shechinah desolate and withering and then joined in her sorrow. After he saw that the children of Yisrael repented with joy, he composed ten types of psalms. At the end of them all, he said, it is written: "A prayer of the afflicted (lit. 'poor'), when he faints..." (Tehilim 102:1). This prayer encompasses all other prayers AND ASCENDS BEFORE ALL OTHER PRAYERS. THE OTHER PRAYERS, SUNG WITH A MELODY, ARE DELAYED IN BEING PRESENTED BEFORE THE KING, AND DO NOT ENTER, UNTIL THE PRAYER OF THE POOR DOES. This is why THE PRAYER OF the poor comes before all the others.

187. וְדָוִד, בְּגִין גָּלוּתָא, אֲמַר רָעֵב וְעָיֵף וְצָמֵא בַּמִּדְבָּר. בְּגִין דְּחָמָא שְׁכִינְתָּא חָרְבָה יָבְשָׁה, הֲוָה נָטַל צַעֲרָא בְּגִינָהָא. לְבָתַר דְּחָמָא דְּהַדְּרִין יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּחֶדְוָה, תַּקֵּין עֲשַׂר מִינֵי נִגּוּנִין, וּבְסוֹף כָּלְהוֹ אֲמַר תְּפִלָּה לֶעָנִי כִי יַעֲטוֹף, וְהִיא צְלוֹתָא, דַּעֲטֵיף כָּל צְלוֹתִין קַדְמָהָא, עַד דְּיֵיעוֹל צְלוֹתָא דִילֵיהּ, בְּגִין דָּא אַקְדִים עָנִי לְכָלְהוֹ.

Exile Jacob Poor Prayer Righteous Slavery

188. HE ASKS: Which is the prayer of the poor? HE ANSWERS: It is the evening prayer, WHICH IS THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE WHEN SHE IS ON HER OWN WITHOUT HER HUSBAND. Since she is without her husband, she is poor and withered, LACKING ALL ABUNDANCE, and may be taken freely by anyone, MEANING THAT ANYONE MAY ENSLAVE HER FOR HIS OWN PURPOSES. The Righteous are withered and poor. This refers to the seed of Jacob, which is under the rule of all nations of the world; THAT IS, ALL NATIONS ENSLAVE THEM AND RULE OVER THEM. This is similar to the evening prayer, because it is the aspect of night in the exile. JUST AS THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE IN THE ASPECT OF THE EVENING PRAYER IS FREE FOR THE TAKING BY ALL, THE DESCENDANTS OF JACOB IN EXILE ARE UNDER THE RULE OF THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD.

188. מָאן צְלוֹתָא דְּעָנִי, דָּא צְלוֹתָא דְעַרְבִית, דְּאִיהִי רְשׁוּת בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָהּ, בְּלָא בַּעֲלָהּ. וּבְגִין דְּאִיהִי בְּלָא בַּעֲלָהּ, אִיהִי עֲנִיָּיה יְבֵשָׁה, וְצַדִּיק עָנִי יָבֵשׁ. דָּא זַרְעָא דְיַעֲקֹב דְּאִיהוּ בִּרְשׁוּת כָּל אוּמִין דְּעָלְמָא, וְדַמְיָא לִצְלוֹתָא דְעַרְבִית, דְּאִיהִי לֵילְיָא דְגָלוּתָא.

Adonai Amidah (Standing Prayer) David Gates Lips Mishnah Poor Prayer Shabbat Shechinah Standing Prayer (Amidah) Sun Talit Temple, The Tzitzit

189. The prayer of Shabbat is a charity given to the poor, as the sages of the Mishnah explained that the sun during Shabbat is charity given to the poor. Therefore, on all weekdays, a person should make himself a pauper at the gate of the King during the prayer of Amidah for the sake of the Shechinah, WHICH MEANS THAT HE SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN THE SORROW OF THE SHECHINAH, AS DID DAVID. He should cover himself with the proper vestments, NAMELY TALIT WITH TZITZIT, as a poor man stands at the gate to the temple OF THE KING, who is Adonai, because THE NUMERICAL VALUE OF 'ADONAI' adds up to that of 'temple' (Heb. heichal). This is WHY IT IS SAID, "Adonai, open my lips..." (Tehilim 51:17).

189. וּצְלוֹתָא דְּשַׁבָּת אִיהִי צְדָקָה לֶעָנִי, כְּמָה דְאוֹקְמוּהָ מ"מ שֶׁמֶשׁ בְּשַׁבָּת צְדָקָה לָעֲנִיִּים. ובְגִין דָּא צָרִיךְ בַּר נָשׁ לְמֶהֱוֵי אִיהוּ, כְּעָנִי לְתַרְעָא דְמַלְכָּא, בִּצְלוֹתָא דַּעֲמִידָה בְּכָל שִׁית יוֹמִין דְּחוֹל, בְּגִין שְׁכִינְתָּא, וּמִתְעַטֵּף לָהּ בְּעִטּוּפָא דְמִצְוָה דְצִיצִית כְּעָנִי, וִיהֵא בִּתְפִילִין כְּאֶבְיוֹן לְגַבֵּי תַּרְעָא דְּאִיהוּ אדנ"י, דְּהָכֵי סָלֵיק לְחוּשְׁבַּן הֵיכָל. וְדָא אִיהוּ אֲדֹנָי שְׁפָתַי תִּפְתָּח.

Daughter Door Gates Head Living Creatures Patriarchs Prayer Shabbat Yud Hei Vav Hei (YHVH)

192. On Shabbat, the Holy One, blessed be He - ZEIR ANPIN - descends with the three patriarchs - CHESED, GVURAH AND TIFERET - to receive His only daughter through them, REFERRING TO THE PRAYER WHICH IS THE FEMALE PRINCIPLE. This is the secret of Shabbat WHICH CONSISTS OF Shin and Bat (Eng. 'daughter'). THE THREE LINES OF THE LETTER SHIN REFER TO THE THREE PATRIARCHS. THROUGH THEM, THE HOLY ONE, BLESSED BE HE, RECEIVES THE PRAYER, SHABBAT, HIS ONLY DAUGHTER. At that time, the celestial living creatures that are called by the name Yud Hei Vav Hei say, as it is written: "Lift up your heads, O you gates; and lift them up, you everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in" (Tehilim 24:9).

192. וּבְשַׁבָּת נָחִית קָדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא בְּג' אֲבָהָן לְקַבְּלָא בַּת יְחִידָא דִילֵיהּ בְּהוֹן. וְדָא רָזָא דְשַׁבָּת ש' ב"ת יְחִידָא דִילֵיהּ. בְּהַהוּא זִמְנָא חֵיוָון עִלָּאִין דְּאִתְקְרִיאוּ בִּשְׁמָא דְּהוי"ה, פָּתְחִין וְאָמְרִין שְׂאוּ שְׁעָרִים רָאשֵׁיכֶם וְהִנָּשְׂאוּ פִּתְחֵי עוֹלָם.
