ACT OF CONCESSION: READING OF AN EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK OF SHAMATI
AND THEY SEWED FIG-LEAVES
I heard on Shavat, 26, February 16, 1947
The leaf refers to the shade that it puts on the light, meaning
on the sun. There are two shades: one comes from the side of
Kedusha (Sanctity), and the other comes due to a sin.
Thus, there are two kinds of concealment of the Light. As the
shade conceals the sun in corporeality, so there is concealment
on the Upper Light, called โsun,โ which comes from the side of
Kedusha, namely because of a choice. This is as it is written about
Moses, โAnd Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look.โ
The shade comes because of fear, and fear means that one
is afraid to receive the bounty, that he may not be able to aim
in order to bestow. It follows that the shade comes because of
Kedusha, meaning that one wants to cleave to the Creator.
