81. He opened again with, "And Aaron lifted up his hands towards the people, and blessed them" (Vayikra 9:22). We learned that 'hands' is spelled without Yud AND IS READ 'HAND,' TO TEACH US that one should raise the right over the left. Why? To display an action below so that a CORRESPONDING act will be awakened above.
81. תּוּ פָּתַח וְאָמַר, וַיִשָּׂא אַהֲרֹן אֶת יָדָיו אֶל הָעָם וַיְבָרֲכֵם. וְתָנֵינָן יָדוֹ כְּתִיב, דְּבָעֵי לְזַקְפָא יְמִינָא עַל שְׂמָאלָא. וַאֲמַאי. לְאַחֲזָאָה עוֹבָדָא לְתַתָּא, בְּגִין דְּיִתְּעַר עוֹבָדָא לְעֵילָּא.
82. It is written, "Then shall you cause the Shofar to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month" (Vayikra 25:9). HE ASKS, Why sound the Shofar, AND HE ANSWERS, The Shofar breaks the fetters OF THOSE IMPRISONED IN THE CHAINS OF ENSLAVEMENT, which breaks the power on all slaves. FOR 'SOUND' IS DERIVED FROM BREAKING. One should display a simple (THAT IS, STRAIGHT) Shofar, not curved, to indicate freedom to all, which that day has brought about. It behooves one always to demonstrate a deed BELOW TO AWAKEN A CORRESPONDING ONE ABOVE. Hence a Shofar is used rather than a horn, to indicate whence it comes, a place called Shofar, SINCE A SHOFAR IS THE SECRET OF BINAH AND A HORN THE SECRET OF MALCHUT.
82. כְּתִיב וְהַעֲבַרְתָּ שׁוֹפָר תְּרוּעָה בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי וְגוֹ,' שׁוֹפָר תְּרוּעָה אֲמַאי. אֶלָּא שׁוֹפָר, דְּמַתְבָּר שַׁלְשְׁלָאִין, דְּמַתְבָּר שׁוּלְטָנוּתָא מִכָּל עַבְדִּין. וּבַעְיָא לְאַחֲזָאָה שׁוֹפָר דְּאִיהוּ פָּשִׁיט, וְלָא כָּפִיף, לְאַחֲזָאָה חֵירוּ לְכֹלָּא, דְּהָא יוֹמָא גָּרִים. וּבְכֹלָּא בָּעֵי לְאַחֲזָאָה עוֹבָדָא, וְעַ"ד שׁוֹפָר, וְלָא קֶרֶן, בְּגִין לְאַחֲזָאָה מַאן הוּא אֲתַר דְּאִקְרֵי שׁוֹפָר.
83. Happy are Yisrael in this world and in the World to Come, for they know how to cleave to the Holy King and raise the power from above and draw their Master's holiness upon them. Hence it is written, "Happy are you, O Yisrael. Who is like to you" (Devarim 33:29), and, "But you that did cleave of Hashem your Elohim are alive every one of you this day" (Devarim 4:4).
83. זַכָּאִין אִינּוּן יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעָלְמָא דֵּין וּבְעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי, דְּאִינּוּן יַדְעִין לְאִתְדַּבְּקָא בְּמַלְכָּא קַדִּישָׁא, וּלְאַתְעֲרָא חֵילָא דִּלְעֵילָּא, וּלְאַמְשָׁכָא קְדוּשָּׁה דְּמָארֵיהוֹן עָלַיְיהוּ, בְּג"כ כְּתִיב אַשְׁרֶיךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל מִי כָמוֹךָ וְגוֹ.' וְאַתֶם הַדְּבֵקִים בַּיְיָ' אֱלֹהֵיכֶם חַיִּים כֻּלְּכֶם הַיּוֹם.
84. Introduction by Ra'aya Meheimna (the Faithful Shepherd). "And you shall keep My commandments, and do them" (Vayikra 22:31). We have learned about the commandments of the Master of the Universe, as it is written, "And you shall keep My commandments, and do them." HE ASKS, If they need keeping, WHEN THEN DOES THIS INCLUDE DOING AS WELL, and why DOES IT SAY, "and do them?" Furthermore, HE ASKS, all the commandments in the Torah have two Facets that are one, NAMELY 'remember' and 'keep;' 'remember' is for the Male, NAMELY ZEIR ANPIN, and 'keep' for the Female, MALCHUT, and they are all joined into one. HE ASKS, If 'keep' is for the Female, why is it written, "And you shall keep My commandments," WHICH INDICATES ALL THE PRECEPTS ARE ONLY OF THE ASPECT OF THE FEMALE, NAMELY 'KEEPING?'
84. (הקדמת רעיא מהימנא) וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם מִצְוֹתַי וַעֲשִׂיתֶם אוֹתָם וְגוֹ.' פִּקוּדִין דְּמָארֵי עָלְמָא, הָא תָּנֵינָן. דִּכְתִּיב וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם מִצְוֹתַי וַעֲשִׂיתֶם אוֹתָם. אִי נְטוּרֵי קָא בָּעֵינָן, עֲיבִידָא לָמָּה. תּוּ, כָּל פִּקּוּדֵי אוֹרַיְיתָא אִינּוּן בִּתְרֵין גַּוְונִין דְּאִינּוּן חַד, זָכוֹר וְשָׁמוֹר, זָכוֹר לִדְכוּרָא, וְשָׁמוֹר לְנוּקְבָּא. וְכֻלְּהוּ כְּלָלָא חֲדָא, אִי שָׁמוֹר לְנוּקְבָּא אֲמַאי כְּתִיב וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם מִצְוֹתַי.
85. HE ANSWERS, Everything is within this verse. "And you shall keep" refers to 'keep,' while, "and do them" refers to 'remember.' It all pertains to the same secret. Remembering is doing. Whoever mentions something below causes the doing of that secret above. There are 613 commandments in the Torah, which are the whole of Male and Female, NAMELY 'REMEMBER' AND 'KEEP,' ZEIR ANPIN AND MALCHUT, all pertaining to the same secret.
85. אֶלָּא כֹּלָּא בְּהַאי קְרָא, וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם: דָּא שָׁמוֹר. וַעֲשִׂיתֶם: דָּא זָכוֹר, דְּכֹלָּא רָזָא חֲדָא. זְכִירָה דָּא אִיהִי עֲשִׂיָּה, דְּהָא מַאן דְּאַדְכַּר מִלָּה לְתַתָּא, אַתְקִין וְאִתְעָבֵיד הַהוּא רָזָא דִּלְעֵילָּא. פִּקּוּדֵי אוֹרַיְיתָא אִלֵּין אִינּוּן שִׁית מֵאָה וּתְלֵיסָר פִּקוּדִין, דְּאִינּוּן כְּלָלָא דִּדְכַר וְנוּקְבָּא, וְכֹלָּא רָזָא חֲדָא.
