THE LETTER OF DALET AND GIMEL
- The letters Dalet and Gimel appeared before the Creator. However, the
Creator told them right away: “It is enough that you are both together, so that
as long as the poor exist on earth, there is someone to treat them with mercy
(LiGmol Hesed).” The letter Dalet derives from Dalut (poverty), while Gimel
renders mercy to it (Gomelet Hassadim). “Therefore, you cannot part, and it
is enough for you to aid one another in this way.”
It was already stated (item 24) that although Dalet receives the Light from
Gimel and its sharp right angle protrudes from the Light of Hassadim, the impure
forces are nonetheless strong enough to cling to it, separate it and make the
sharp angle smooth, thus transforming it into the letter Reish.
This is why the letter Dalet requires special protection so as not to be
corrupted and to be able to continue being fulfilled by Gimel so as to keep the
needy ones (Dalut) in the world from disappearing. Thus, it is sufficient for
these two forces to sustain and complement one another, to fulfill one another
in reciprocal union so as to prevent the impure forces from ruling. And this
role is enough from them. This is why the Creator did not want to create the
world with them.
