Main Reading for PRAYER OF MANY, today with ENGLISH ZOHAR READING, page 151.
ARVUT OF : Robin Anderson
The letters Aleph-Bet-Gimel correspond to Sefirot Keter-Hochma-Bina, called
“the head” of a spiritual object (Partzuf). The letters from Dalet to Tet refer to the
body of the Partzuf.
The body only receives what descends to it from the head. Therefore, Dalet,
the first letter of the body, through which the body receives Light from the head,
is called Dalah ve Aniyah (poor and destitute). Dalet only receives what Gimel gives
it. Since Gimel contains the Light of Hassadim, that is, what descends into Dalet.
And this is why the letter Gimel is called Gomel Hassadim (merciful One)
(Talmud, Shabbat, 104), according to its action with regard to Dalet, which would
otherwise be completely without Light. The protruding sharp angle on the right
side of Dalet is the sign of Dalet’s abundance of Ohr Hassadim.
