Lekutey Halakhos Shiur with Rabbi Nasan Maimon - September 2, 2026

Ubefina's Kaseder over there in the Ketimran, Rabbeinu Zal speaks about Kaseder and Shaloi Kaseder.

We spoke about this in the previous year.

Tishrei, we said, is Tov Shin Resh, the Aleph Beis in the other order.

We spoke about Yud Kei Vav Kei in the Mili of Ma, which is Begimatria Odom.

And in Odom, the letters are Kaseder.

In Chava, the letters are Shaloi Kaseder.

Somehow, Rabbi Nisrael adds there also that the letter Yud itself, the way it's pronounced, Yud Vav Dalet, represents the flow and the order from top to bottom, from Chochma, from Sechel, into Malchus.

This concept, when things are flowing in the proper order, is called the letter Yud.

Malchus is generally represented by the letter Dalad from the word Deles.

It has nothing.

It has nothing of its own.

So that's the Dalad of the Yud Vav Dalad.

And Hashem draws life into the Malchus.

And Chochmah is represented by the letter Yud.

So in Yud Vav Dalet, the Yud is Chochmah, the Dalet is Malchus, and the Vav is the pipe.

V'zeh Yud, Yud Vav Dalet, which represents this flow when things are flowing keseder.

V'zeh, and this is also the word kapecho, Rabbeinu Zoleh quotes a posok, You created, Odom HaRishon says, Hashem, you created me front and back, and you covered me over with your hands.

Apecho is also the letter chaf.

Chaf, kapecho means your chaf.

Yud, yud vav dalet, bigimatria chaf.

Yud vav dalet is bigimatria 20, the number which is the letter chaf.

And Rabbi Nisrael explains that when a person sees that things are not going well for them, things are upside down.

The person should know that one of the reasons possibly is because the person has gaiva.

I'm king.

I, I do, I make, I want.
