SYNOPSIS:

ascribe greatness to our Elohim" Rabbi Shimon tells us that people have to arrange their praise to God in a certain way so that the glory can be raised upward and the blessings can be drawn downward; then they need to create the bond of Faith in order to unify the Holy Name. The matter of Moses' song is examined in great detail, and we are reminded that the song was meant to testify against Yisrael later when they transgressed the laws of God. Rabbi Shimon clarifies which is the most valuable and important song ever written, since the discussion has also included the Song of Songs and the song that David sang towards the end of his life. The purpose of the song is to connect everyone to God and to unify His Name.

מְנָלָן מִמֺּשֶׁה, בְּקַדְמֵיתָא, מִתַּתָּא לְעֵילָּא, כִּי שֵׁם יְיָ' אֶקְרָא. מַאי אֶקְרָא. כְּמָה דִּכְתִּיב, וַיִּקְרָא אֶל מֺשֶׁה, דָּא שְׁכִינְתָּא. לְבָתַר, הָבוּ גֺּדֶל לֵאלֹהֵינוּ, דָּא מַלְכָּא עִלָּאָה. לְבָתַר נָחִית בְּדַרְגּוֹי מֵעֵילָּא לְתַתָּא, דִּכְתִּיב צַדִּיק וְיָשָׁר. לְבָתַר קָשִׁיר קִשְׁרָא דִּמְהֵימְנוּתָא וְאָמַר, הוּא, וְדָא הוּא קִשְׁרָא לְכֺלָּא.

Translation

Whence do we know that? From Moses. At first HE SPOKE from below upward, SAYING, "Because I will call on the name of Hashem" (Devarim 32:3). What is "call"? It is as in, "called to Moses" (Vayikra 1:1), which is the Shechinah. Then he said, "ascribe greatness to our Elohim," which is the supernal King, NAMELY ZEIR ANPIN. Then he descended the grades from above downward, FROM ZEIR ANPIN TO MALCHUT, as written, "just and right is He" (Devarim 32:4), WHICH ARE YESOD THAT IS CALLED 'RIGHTEOUS', AND 'JUST' THAT IS MALCHUT. Then he bound the bond of Faith and said, "is He," NAMELY "JUST AND RIGHT is He," which binds everything, BECAUSE "HE" IS THE THIRD, HIDDEN PERSON THAT ALLUDES TO THE BLESSED INFINITY THAT BINDS EVERYTHING.

chanoch's Commentary

When one calls on the Name one must know that He is Malchut and rising to Zeir Anpin and even higher to Binah - the energy store and then the caller must descend down to Malchut and bring the shefa with him. Or at least start the flow of Shefa. This pasuk is very important.

בג"כ, בָּעֵי בַּר נָשׁ לְסַדְּרָא שְׁבָחָא דְּמָארֵיהּ כְּהַאי גַּוְונָא, בְּקַדְמֵיתָא מִתַּתָּא לְעֵילָּא, לְסַלְּקָא יְקָרָא דְּמָארֵיהּ, לַאֲתָר דְּשַׁקְיוּ דַּעֲמִיקָא דְּבֵירָא נָגִיד וְנָפִיק. לְבָתַר לְאַמְשָׁכָא מֵעֵילָּא לְתַתָּא, מֵהַהוּא שַׁקְיוּ דְּנַחֲלָא, לְכָל דַּרְגָּא וְדַרְגָּא, עַד דַּרְגָּא בַּתְרָאָה, לְאַמְשָׁכָא בִּרְכָאן לְכֺלָּא, מִלְּעֵילָּא לְתַתָּא. לְבָתַר בָּעֵי לְקַשְּׁרָא קִשְׁרָא בְּכֺלָּא, קִשְׁרָא דִּמְהֵימְנוּתָא. וְדָא הוּא ב"נ דְּאוֹקִיר לִשְׁמָא דְּמָארֵיהּ, לְיַחֲדָא שְׁמָא קַדִּישָׁא. וְעַל דָּא כְּתִיב, כִּי מְכַבְּדַי אֲכַבֵּד, כִּי מְכַבְּדַי לְעָלְמָא דָּא, אֲכַבֵּד בְּעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי.

Translation

For that reason man needs to arrange his Master's praise in the same way, at first from below upward, to raise the glory of his Master, WHICH IS MALCHUT, to the place where the water of the depth of the well flows and emerges, THAT IS, TO THE PLACE OF BINAH. Then to draw from above downward to each and every grade OF THE SEVEN LOWER SFIROT down to the last grade, WHICH IS MALCHUT, in order to draw blessings to everything from above downward. Then we need to bind the bond on everything, the bond of Faith, THAT IS, TO BIND EVERYTHING TO BLESSED INFINITY AS MENTIONED. Such a man glorifies his Master, to unify the Holy Name. Hence it is written, "for them that honor Me I will honor" (I Shmuel 2:30), for those who honor Me in this world shall I honor in the World to Come.

chanoch's Commentary

The pasuk is clear yet leads to a question. How does one go from Binah and then to chochmah and also to Keter so that one can connect to infinity - the endless world? it is left unanswered in this section perhaps we learn how to do this elsewhere and can apply this when we call upon the Name.

וּבוֹזַי יֵקָלּוּ, מַאי וּבוֹזַי יֵקָלּוּ. דָּא הוּא מַאן דְּלָא יָדַע לְיַחֲדָא שְׁמָא קַדִּישָׁא, וּלְקַשְּׁרָא קִשְׁרָא דִּמְהֵימְנוּתָא, וּלְאַמְשָׁכָא בִּרְכָאן לַאֲתָר דְּאִצְטְרִיךְ, וּלְאוֹקִיר שְׁמָא דְּמָארֵיהּ. וְכָל מַאן דְּלָא יָדַע לְאוֹקִיר שְׁמָא דְּמָארֵיהּ, טַב לֵיהּ דְּלָא אִבְרֵי.

Translation

"And they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed" (Ibid.). HE ASKS, what is meant by, "And they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed," AND ANSWERS, this is one who does not know how to unify the Holy Name and bind the bond of Faith and draw blessings where they should be and glorify the name of his Master. Whoever does not know how to glorify the name of his Master, it would have been better for him had he not been created.

chanoch's Commentary

As a practical matter, when calls upon the Name and does not know how to unify Binah Cochmah and Keter is asking the Angels of Malchut and Zeir Anpin to do work and to receive nothing in return. Woe to that soul as the cause and effect can be difficult to control.
