**ענין הכתר והמוחין שבו:**

[Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 101:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kalach%20Pitchei%20Chokhmah/r/101:3)

**הראש תמיד הוא ראשית כל הנהגת הפרצוף, ושלמותה - בכתר ומוחין בתוכו, והיינו בסוד השראת העליון ממנו, השורה עליו. ושם נכללו ג' מוחיו, ששם כל עיקר הולדת ההנהגה שלו:**

**138 Openings of Wisdom, translated by Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum. The Azamra Institute, 2005:**
**The Head is always the beginning of the entire government of the Partzuf, and is only complete with the Crown (Keter) and the Mental Powers (**מוחין**, mochin) within it – that is, through the mystery of the indwelling of the one above it, which rests upon it. Included in the Head are the three Mental Powers of the Partzuf, because that is where the whole birth of the governmental order of the Partzuf in essence takes place.**

עכשיו נבוא לפרש בפרט ענין צורת הפרצופים, ובתחילה בכלל:

**138 Openings of Wisdom, translated by Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum. The Azamra Institute, 2005:**
*We now come to a detailed explanation of the form of the Partzufim, starting with a general rule.*

[Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 101:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kalach%20Pitchei%20Chokhmah/r/101:5)

חלקי המאמר הזה ב'. ח"א, **הראש תמיד הוא,** והוא ענין הראש בפרצוף. ח"ב, **והיינו בסוד** וכו', הוא ביאור הקדמה הזאת:

**138 Openings of Wisdom, translated by Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum. The Azamra Institute, 2005:**
This proposition has two parts. **Part 1: The Head is always…** This defines the Head of a Partzuf.**Part 2: …that is, through the mystery…** This explains the above premise.

[Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 101:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kalach%20Pitchei%20Chokhmah/r/101:6)

חלק א:
**הראש תמיד הוא ראשית כל הנהגת הפרצוף,** היא לבדה כוללת כל מה שיש בכל הפרצוף, אך בבחינת ראשית, שעל כן נקראת ראש. ותשלום ענינה - בכל שאר הפרצוף:

**138 Openings of Wisdom, translated by Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum. The Azamra Institute, 2005:**
**Part 1: The Head is always the beginning of the entire government of the Partzuf…** The Head itself includes everything that exists in the entire Partzuf – but in the form of a beginning (ראשית, *reishit*). This is why it is called the Head (ראש, *rosh*), while the function of the Head is completed through the rest of the Partzuf (see Opening 90).


###### Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 101:7
[Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 101:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kalach%20Pitchei%20Chokhmah/r/101:7)

**ושלמותה - בכתר ומוחין שבתוכו,** והיינו שהם מינים הצריכים שניהם להנהגה. כתר - מין אחד, ומוחין - מין אחר:

**138 Openings of Wisdom, translated by Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum. The Azamra Institute, 2005:**
**…and is only complete with the Crown (Keter) and the Mental Powers (מוחין, *mochin*) within it…** These are two distinct aspects both of which are needed in order for the Partzuf to exercise its governmental power. The crown, Keter, is one kind while the mental powers are another.

[Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 101:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kalach%20Pitchei%20Chokhmah/r/101:8)

חלק ב:
**והיינו בסוד השראת העליון ממנו השורה עליו,** כי צריך כח העליון המנהג התחתון, וכח התחתון בכל מדותיו. הכתר הוא כח העליון:

**138 Openings of Wisdom, translated by Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum. The Azamra Institute, 2005:**
**Part 2: …that is, through the mystery of the indwelling of the one above it, which rests upon it.** For there must be a superior power that governs the lower one, as distinct from the lower power itself in all its attributes. The crown, Keter, is the superior power. (Keter reflects the governmental mode of the Partzuf above).


###### Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 101:9
[Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 101:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kalach%20Pitchei%20Chokhmah/r/101:9)

**ושם נכללו ג' מוחיו,** שהם כללות מדות התחתון:

**138 Openings of Wisdom, translated by Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum. The Azamra Institute, 2005:**
**Included in the Head are the three Mental Powers of the Partzuf…** These encompass all the attributes of the lower Partzuf. (The three Mental Powers contain the roots of the governmental power exercised by the lower Partzuf, because Chochmah-Binah-Daat are the roots of Chessed-Gevurah-Tiferet.)

[Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 101:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kalach%20Pitchei%20Chokhmah/r/101:10)

**ששם כל עיקר הולדת ההנהגה שלו,** שם נולדת ההנהגה בקיבוץ כל הכחות האלה, ואחר כך מתפשטת בפרצוף כולו:

**138 Openings of Wisdom, translated by Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum. The Azamra Institute, 2005:**
**…because that is where the whole birth of the governmental order of the Partzuf in essence takes place.** It is through the ingathering of all these powers on the level of Chochmah-Binah-Daat that the governmental order of the Partzuf is born, and from the Head it extends through the entire Partzuf.
