WEDNESDAY PRAYER: HOCHMA-KIDDUSH LEVANAH קִדּוּשׁ לְבָנָה

READING: BETWEEN AFTERNOON – SUNSET TUESDAY

KIDDUSH LEVANAH קִדּוּשׁ לְבָנָה : 🌱

– PRAYER OF CONCESSION ON FULL MOON

This is the meaning of Bigthan and Teresh, who sought
to lay hands on the king of the world. “And the thing became
known to Mordecai… … inquisition was made of the matter, and
it was found to be so.” The matter of seeking was not at once,
and Mordecai did not obtain it easily, but after great labor was
the matter of this flaw revealed to him. Once it had become
evident to him, “they were both hanged,” meaning after the
sensation of the blemish in it, they were hanged, meaning they
removed these actions and desires from the world.
“After these things,” meaning after all the labor and the exertions
Mordecai had made by the scrutiny that he had made,
the king wanted to reward him for his effort of working only Lishma
(for Her Name) and not for himself. Since there is a rule that
the lower one cannot receive anything without a need, as there is
no Light without a vessel, and a vessel is called a need, since it is
not a need for oneself, how can anything be given to him?
