EXISTENCE FROM ABSENCE
Creation refers to appearance of something
that did not exist before. This is considered
existence from absence. Yet, how do we picture
something that is not included in Him,
since He is almighty and includes all of them
together? And also, one does not give what is
not in Him.
As we have said, the whole Creation that
He created is only the Kelim (plural for Kli) of
the souls, which is the will to receive. This is
quite clear, since He necessarily does not have
a will to receive, as from whom would He receive?
Hence, this is truly a new Creation,
not a trace of which existed previously, and is
hence considered existence from absence.
-Baal HaSulam, “Introduction to the Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah,” Item 4, Gem of Wisdom, published by Bnei Baruch.

TZADIKIM צדיקים PRAYER FOR THE OLD RIGHTEOUS
Show compassion Adonai, our God, for the righteous, for the pious, for the elders of Your people, the House of Israel, and to the remnant of their sages, and to righteous converts, and to us. And give a good reward to all who truly trust in Your name. And let our lot be with them forever, that we will be proud that we have put our trust in you. Blessed are You, Adonai, who is the support and trust for the righteous.
עַל הַצַּדִּיקִים וְעַל הַחֲסִידִים.

וְעַל פְּלֵיטַת סופְרֵיהֶם.
וְעַל גֵּרֵי הַצֶּדֶק. וְעָלֵינוּ.
יֶהֱמוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ ה’ אֱלהֵינוּ.
וְתֵן שכָר טוב לְכָל הַבּוטְחִים בְּשִׁמְךָ בֶּאֱמֶת.
וְשים חֶלְקֵנוּ עִמָּהֶם לְעולָם וְלא נֵבושׁ כִּי בְךָ בָטָחְנוּ.

FOR UNITY, PURIFICATION OF SOULS, AND ADHESION WITH THE CREATOR, OUR GOD.
