– PRAYER OF GRATITUDE FOR THE NEW INCOMING CORRECTIONS ON NEW MOON

ACT OF INITIAL CORRECTION: SHORT READING FROM SHAMATI

And that was the dispute between Mordecai and Haman.
Mordecai’s argument was that what we now see, that the Creator
reveals the dominion of Hochma, is only so that they would
receive the Hochma, but in order to better the Hassadim.
It means that now they will have a place to show that their
reception of the Hassadim is voluntary, meaning they have room

to receive Hochma, since now is the time of the dominion of
the left, which shines Hochma, and still they choose Hassadim. It
follows that they now show—by receiving the Hassadim—that the
right rules the left.
Thus, the Jewish decree is the important one, and Haman
claimed the opposite, that the Creator’s current disclosure of
the left line, which is Hochma, is in order to use the Hochma.
Otherwise, it would mean that the Creator had done something
needlessly, meaning that He had done something and there is no
one to enjoy it. Hence, we should not regard what Mordecai says,
but everyone should listen to his voice, and use the disclosure of
Hochma that now appeared.
