Aeter with R' Paltiel 8/12/09 Wednesday 22 Menachem Av 5769 Pay Hay
Page pay hay – about 13 lines from the top. Line starts “ve hagam”.
Yirah tata is a preparation to be able to receive the moreh gadol.
'Tho the arousal from above comes of itself and not due to solicitation from below (and is thus not limited to the scale of the lower arousal), yet still there is preparation for it – this hachanah is so that you will be sensitive to it and be able to receive it.
“This is the gate way to hashem”, says the pasuk and this is the preparation. Opening up this initial “receiving quality” from below allows/enables us to recognize it. This is the matzah eaten before midnight.
There is a difference between the matzah before midnight and after midnight. Matzah has a letter, “hay” and chametz a “chet”. The hay is representative of malchus. And this hay has two levels – external and internal – two levels of malchus. Matzah from before midnight requires safekeeping – it is within seder hishtalshalus, within the world and here it can sour.
At midnight there was a revelation and after that, when leaving mitzraim the dough couldn't sour – the gilui had been from/of malchus ein sof – atzmius hamalchus and it incorporates everything without coming out of itself and thus the matzah could not sour.
The matzah is in the world and part of atzmius. The world was in such a state that nothing would be separate from elokus. We say that when dough sours it becomes separate from its source – it has its own internal process.
The exodus was after chatzot as a result of the fact that the king of kings was revealed on them. This order of first a preparation of one level of matzah and then the revelation was the process in mitzraim when they were sunk in the deepest level and they also did not have torah and mitzvahs.
But after matan torah when torah and mitzvah were given there is already the element of yira tata the whole year. One does a mitzvah with kabalos ol – one of the means that one gets yirah tata. So yirah tata is a common state of being.
We have mitzah's during the year and they are rooted in kesser – this is higher than the metziut of world.
Your are given the opportunity to do the mitzah, but you have to summon the effort do, the exertion from below.
Significance of mitzah's being rooted in kesser: mitzvahs can be viewed from 2 perspectives – they are directives that tell us how to live in the world – this perspective won/'t connect you to yirah ilah. The fact that mitzvahs are connected to kesser and the reason for them are not contained in the world at all – this connects you to the king himself.
