Moses ben Jacob Cordovero

During these days, one should increase his Torah study, his mitzvahs, his charity, and minimize his business affairs.

The great Kabbalist, Rabbi Moshe Cordovero, the Ramak, would say that these days should be treated like Chol Hamoed.

Chol Hamoed, the intermediary days of the holiday.

We know we have, for example, in the diaspora, the holiday of Sukkot has two days of holiday, four days intermediary days, and then two days of holiday.

And it's in this prat, because the way it creates Keilim of Briya, that it's called Yesh MeAyin.

Umach, because of the Ramak.

It says in Kabbalah from the Ramak, HaMoshechut DeViri Im Panus.

In Yin Hishtalsut Yolo, the idea of Hishtalsut, or the chain reaction of worlds of cause and effect.

In Keilim of Atzilus.

"U'bottel b'matir etzla," it is nullified in its form to it.

"Ki'zeh v'shav rishamsot," the rays of the sun and sun.

"U'me shekasu b'pades me'aramak," it says in the pades from the Ramak.

As the Rambam says, you have to love and fear Hashem through the study about Hashem, and today we do it through studying Chassidus, and the Rebbe blesses him for success.

The Rebbe also, uh, points to the Rashi in the Ramak, L'ma'asimilim, and then Rashi, Yoma, ayin beis, ayin beis, ayin beis.

He literally says that.

And yet, all the Kasteem, Nebuchadnezzar's government, was punished because of what they did, And we spoke about the Rambam who asks this question, the Ramban who asks this question, and we presented the third and probably the deeper layer of the Kabbalistic understanding of it based on the Ramak, Ramosha Cordovero, who here explains that any negative power that has been created in the world stays and hovers around and it is collected by the party that has to be absorbing it.

Now, this could be in different ways.

If Israel, for instance, sinned and they created this massive negative energy, so that obviously is going to be the consequence of their decisions, the punishment.

And he went and he became a ger tzedek and his great-grandson was none other than Rabbi Meir Balhanes, direct descendants of Neron Kesar, of the Roman general.

So that, but this is how it actually happens.

So it says, The Ramak, the analogy of this in Chumash on Yom Kippurim is Sair HaMishtaleach, which we started discussing last week, that it says about it that it carries all of the Chataim, all the Avonot of Kladis on it.

V'nasah Sair et kol Avonotam el Erez HaGezerah.
