Blessing Cup Grades Light South West

504. Come and see, All the supernal blessings were given to this grade, MALCHUT, so it would bless everything. And though it has not its own light, yet all the blessings, joy and goodness are in it, and issue from it. It is therefore called "a cup of blessing," an actual blessing, as it says, "The blessing of Hashem, it makes rich" (Mishlei 10:22), AS THE BLESSING OF HASHEM IS MALCHUT. It is therefore written, "And full with the blessing of Hashem: possess you the west and the south" (Devarim 33:23).

504. תָּא חֲזֵי, כָּל בִּרְכָאן עִלָּאִין, כֻּלְּהוּ אִתְמְסָרוּ לְהַאי דַרְגָּא, לְבָרְכָא לְכֹלָּא. וְאע"ג דְּלֵית לָהּ נְהוֹרָא מִגַּרְמָהּ, כָּל בִּרְכָאן, וְכָל חֵידוּ, וְכָל טִיבוּ, כֻּלְּהוּ קָיְימִין בָּהּ, וּמִנָּהּ נָפְקֵי, וְעַל דָא אִתְקְרִיאַת כּוֹס שֶׁל בְּרָכָה. וְאִקְרֵי בְּרָכָה מַמָּשׁ, כְּמָה דִכְתִיב בִּרְכַּת ה' הִיא תַּעֲשִׁיר, וְעַל דָּא כְתִיב וּמָלֵא בִּרְכַּת ה' יָם וְדָרוֹם יְרָשָׁה.

Blessing Hands Jacob Joseph Merit

505. Hence MALCHUT has a residue of all THE SFIROT, SINCE THEY ARE ALL INCLUDED WITHIN HER, and she is filled by them all and has something from them all. She is blessed from supernal blessings, which were handed to her to confer. HE ASKS, How do we know that? HE REPLIES, Rabbi Yitzchak said, Jacob blessed Joseph's sons from this place, which was given all the blessings to confer, as it says, "And you shall be a blessing" (Beresheet 12:2), WHICH MEANS HE WILL MERIT MALCHUT, THE SECRET OF BLESSING, AND from THEN on the blessings were delivered to you, SINCE ALL BLESSINGS ARE IN THE HANDS OF MALCHUT.

505. וּבְגִין כָּךְ אִית לָהּ בְּכֻלְּהוּ שִׁיּוּר, וּמִכֻּלְּהוּ אִתְמַלְיָא, וּמִכֻּלְּהוּ אִית בָּהּ, וְאִתְבָּרְכָא מִכָּל אִינוּן בִּרְכָאן עִלָּאִין, וְאִתְמְסָרוּ לָהּ בִּרְכָאן לְבָרְכָא, מְנָלָן, דַּאֲמַר רִבִּי יִצְחָק, יַעֲקֹב בָּרֵיךְ לִבְנוֹי דְיוֹסֵף, מֵאֲתַר דָּא דְכָל בִּרְכָאן אִתְמְסָרוּ בִּידֵיהּ לְבָרְכָא, כְּד"א וֶהְיֵה בְּרָכָה, מִכָּאן וּלְהַלְאָה בִּרְכָאן אִתְמְסָרוּ בְּיָדֶךָ.

Female Waters (Mayin Nukvin) Grades Hallel Mayin Nukvin (Female Waters) Praise Prayer Righteous Seven Waters Zeir Anpin

506. Come and behold, in the same manner SHE IS ESTABLISHED BY THE SEVEN SFIROT OF ZEIR ANPIN, we bless and praise this name, MALCHUT, and hence the Halel (lit. 'praise') prayer we recite during certain days. Rabbi Chiya said, We need three grades to the Halel: the pious, the righteous and Yisrael. The pious are on the right, the righteous on the left and Yisrael on all sides, since Yisrael comprise all, BEING THE CENTRAL COLUMN, WHICH INCLUDES THE TWO COLUMNS RIGHT AND LEFT. THEY CORRESPOND TO THE THREE COLUMNS, WHICH MALCHUT RECEIVES FROM ZEIR ANPIN, THOUGH SHE HAS NOTHING OF HER OWN. Therefore the praise of the Holy One, blessed be He, MALCHUT, was raised above THE SFIROT. Also, wherever Yisrael praise the Holy One, blessed be He, from below, THAT IS, RAISE MAYIN NUKVIN (FEMALE WATERS), His glory is elevated throughout THE SFIROT.

506. תָּא חֲזֵי, כְּגַוְונָא דָא אֲנַן מְבָרְכָן וּמְשַׁבְּחִין לִשְׁמָא דָא, וְע"ד הַלֵּילָא, דְּאִינוּן יוֹמִין דְּקָאַמְרֵי הַלֵּילָא. דַּאֲמַר רִבִּי חִיָּיא בְּהַלֵּילָא צְרִיכִין ג' דַּרְגִּין, חֲסִידִים, צַדִּיקִים, וְיִשְׂרְאֵלִים. חֲסִידִים, מִסִּטְרָא דִּימִינָא, צַדִּיקִים מִסִּטְרָא דִשְׂמָאלָא, וְיִשְׂרָאֵל מִכָּל אִינוּן סִטְרִין, בְּגִין דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל כְּלִילָן מִכֻּלְּהוּ, וְעַל דָּא אִסְתַּלַּק תּוּשְׁבַּחְתָּא דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא מִכֹּלָּא, וְכֵן בְּכָל אֲתַר דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל מְשַׁבְּחָן לֵיהּ לְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא מִתַּתָּא, אִסְתַּלַּק יְקָרֵיהּ בְּכֹלָּא.
