And this Heaven and earth, which the righteous correct to the level that
preceded Adam’s sin, during the creation (Beresheet), are not called new, as they’ve
already existed and the Creator Himself corrected them even before Adam’s sin.
Hence, they are called renewed, and the righteous who correct them are not
called the Creator’s partners.
“Encloses in their mouths” implies reception of such Upper Light that was
neither received by Adam nor emanated from the Creator. And now, by the
actions of the righteous, which are called partners, participants and co-creators,
it comes out and shines in creation. Thus we see that all the righteous are
divided into two groups: those who correct Adam’s sin and those who create
new degrees of attainment. The latter are called the Creator’s partners.
ZA is called voice and Malchut is called speech. When a righteous person
studies the Torah and thereby raises MAN (by the voice and speech of his Torah)
from his soul to ZON, his voice ascends to ZA and his speech ascends to Malchut.
The voice of the Torah that ascends with MAN to ZA is called the Creator
(Kadosh Baruch Hu).
Also, each renewed word in the Torah builds a new firmament. A word
means speech, and any speech that renews the Torah by those who study it
ascends in the form of MAN to Malchut, who is called “word and speech.” This
creates a new firmament in the form of a screen, on which a Zivug between the
Creator and the Shechina is made. This is what the righteous, who study the
Torah, attain by raising MAN!
However, renewal in the words of the Torah does not imply anything new
in the voice of the Torah. For Malchut has to recreate herself for each new Zivug,
for after each Zivug, Malchut returns to the state of virginity thanks to the MAN
raised by the righteous, who constantly renew her properties, her Yesod—the
Kli for the reception of Light from ZA. Hence, it is written that the Torah is
renewed by each word, for a word (Malchut) is renewed by the speech of the
righteous in the Torah, as, after each Zivug, the previous Kli disappears and a
new one appears.
- We have learned that just as the Torah is renewed by one’s mouth, that
renewal ascends and appears before the Creator. And the Creator accepts this
wisdom, kisses it, and adorns it with seventy adornments. And the renewed
wisdom itself ascends and settles on the head of the righteous that revive the
worlds, and then flies, soaring through 70,000 worlds, until it ascends to Atik,
the Sefira Keter. And all that exists in Atik is concealed, Supernal wisdom.
When a person raises MAN from his Torah, this word, which is Nukva de
ZA, ascends and connects to the Creator in a Zivug with Him. The Creator takes
this word, kisses, and adorns it, and these are the two types of Zivugim (plural
for Zivug) in ZON: - Zivug de Neshikin (kisses);
- Zivug de Yesodot (bases/foundations).
