“My beloved is like a deer”


Aeter with R' Paltiel 8/18/09 Tuesday 28 Menachem Av 5769 Pay Vav

Page pay vav – middle of the page. Line starts “rak”.

The matzah is at a level of mitzvah and not a the level of chovah before chatzot.

Leaving mitzraim the matzah had the level of chovah and not mitzvah. The chovah had come to sweeten the dinim.

Now matzah has the higher quality of mitzvah.

After chatzot when there is revelation of ein sof without garments then it becomes an aspect of reshus. Reshus comes without instruction. Chovah is coming from something that puts the obligation on you.

In this reshus category there is a difference between the 6 days and the 7th day. The 7th day their was kriyat yam suf (splitting of the sea) – it split and there was dry land – this means that yam of malchus was opened and the ohrot atzmium were shown/revealed.

The element of rommemus al am in malchus connects the essential/upper element of malchus with the am.

Significance of this connection is that the essential level is connected yet remains aloof. Hence the ohrot atzmium remain concealed.

Kriyat yam suf – the sea split. The rommemus atzmi no longer concealed – it revealed the essential lights that are contained there. It is know that the splitting of the sea occurred both physically and also up to the highest spiritual level – all the way to malchus ein sof.

This means the essential lights were revealed – malchus of ein sof before the tzimzum.

“My beloved is like a deer”, says the verse – just like the deer jumps – hashem “jumps” from mitzraim to the yam. This is a dilug – a jump.

Why is it a dilug? In mitzraim there was a moreh gadol, but this was the revelation of the greatness of malchus itself, which contains the ohrot atzmium, but at kriyat yam suf, then the ohrot atzmium were revealed – this is a great jump.

The dilug from yam to matan torah can be described as the revelation of the essential lights as they are unto themselves – not thru malchus.
