[Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 133:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kalach%20Pitchei%20Chokhmah/r/133:1)

**מבאר הטעם שג"ב אינו נחשב עליה:**

**138 Openings of Wisdom, translated by Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum. The Azamra Institute, 2005:**
*Zeir Anpin’s ascent – after the Second Maturity*


###### Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 133:2
[Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 133:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kalach%20Pitchei%20Chokhmah/r/133:2)

**מה שמקבל הז"א אפילו הגדלות ב' - אינו נקרא עליה לו, אלא מה שיעלה אחר כך - זה נקרא עליה:**

**138 Openings of Wisdom, translated by Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum. The Azamra Institute, 2005:**
**What Zeir Anpin receives even in the Second Maturity is not called an ascent for him. Only when he rises further afterwards is it called an ascent.**


###### Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 133:3
[Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 133:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kalach%20Pitchei%20Chokhmah/r/133:3)

אחר שבארנו ענין העליות, עתה נבאר ענין גדלות ב', שאינו עליה:

**138 Openings of Wisdom, translated by Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum. The Azamra Institute, 2005:**
*Having discussed the concept of ascents, we will now explain the significance of the Second Maturity, which is not an ascent.*


###### Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 133:4
[Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 133:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kalach%20Pitchei%20Chokhmah/r/133:4)

**מה שמקבל הז"א,** המוחין שלו הוא מקבלם מאבא ואימא. ועד שהוא מקבל - אינו נקרא עליה, כי אדרבא, אבא ואימא הם הם הבאים ומעטירים אותו:

**138 Openings of Wisdom, translated by Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum. The Azamra Institute, 2005:**
**What Zeir Anpin receives…** Zeir Anpin receives his Mental Powers from Abba and Imma, and until he has received them it is not called an ascent. On the contrary, it is Abba and Imma who come down to Zeir Anpin, lowering their Netzach-Hod-Yesod to his level, and crowning and adorning him.


###### Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 133:5
[Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 133:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kalach%20Pitchei%20Chokhmah/r/133:5)

**אפילו הגדלות ב',** כי כבר פירשנו שגם הוא אינו אלא נתינת מוחין, אלא שאו"א הם הנותנים אותם:

**138 Openings of Wisdom, translated by Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum. The Azamra Institute, 2005:**
**…even in the Second Maturity…** As explained earlier, Second Maturity is only the conferral of mental powers, although now they are given by Abba and Imma and not merely by Israel Sabba-Tevunah.


###### Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 133:6
[Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 133:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kalach%20Pitchei%20Chokhmah/r/133:6)

**אינו נקרא עליה לו,** זה מבואר כמ"ש למעלה: **אלא מה שיעלה,** שאינו תלוי בנותנים, שכבר הם חכמה נתנו לו מה שצריך, אלא הוא העולה -:

**138 Openings of Wisdom, translated by Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum. The Azamra Institute, 2005:**
**…is not called an ascent for him. Only when he rises further…** For then he no longer depends on Abba and Imma *giving* him, because they have already given him what he needs, and now it is Zeir Anpin that ascends. Thus:


###### Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 133:7
[Kalach Pitchei Chokhmah 133:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Kalach%20Pitchei%20Chokhmah/r/133:7)

**אחר כך - זה נקרא עליה,** כל מה שהוא אחר גדלות הב' - הכל הוא עליה, וזהו:

**138 Openings of Wisdom, translated by Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum. The Azamra Institute, 2005:**
**…afterwards is it called an ascent.** All that comes after the Second Maturity is considered an ascent.
 **•** “Understand this through the ascents of Shabbat: on Shabbat night Zeir Anpin receives the encompassing levels in his interior, and then attains the Second Maturity… But only in the morning is the Second Maturity altogether complete, after which he literally ascends to Netzach-Hod-Yesod of Imma during the Morning Prayer” (*Pitchey Chochmah VaDaat* ch. 56).
