בְּעִנְיַן סְגֻלַּת הַפִּדְיוֹן.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Regarding the propitiousness of a *pidyon* (redemption):

[Likutei Moharan 180:1:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/180:1:2)

מָעוֹת הֵם בְּחִינַת דִּינִין, כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמְרוּ: וְאֶת כָּל הַיְקוּם אֲשֶׁר בְּרַגְלֵיהֶם – זֶה מָמוֹנוֹ שֶׁל אָדָם שֶׁמַּעֲמִידוֹ עַל רַגְלָיו, (פסחים קיט). נִמְצָא, הַמָּעוֹת הֵם בְּחִינַת רַגְלִין.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Money is an aspect of judgment. As it is written (Deuteronomy 11:6), “and all the property at their feet”—this is a man’s money, which puts him on his feet (Pesachim 119a). Hence, money corresponds to the feet.


###### Likutei Moharan 180:1:3
[Likutei Moharan 180:1:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/180:1:3)

וְזֶה בְּחִינַת (ישעיהו מ״א:ב׳): צֶדֶק יִקְרָאֵהוּ לְרַגְלוֹ. וְצֶדֶק מַלְכוּתָא קַדִּישָׁא, וּמַלְכוּת הוּא בְּחִינַת דִּינִין, כִּי דִּינָא דְּמַלְכוּתָא דִּינָא. וְעַל כֵּן מָעוֹת הֵם בְּחִינַת דִּינִין.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
This is the meaning of (Isaiah 41:2), “met righteousness wherever he set his foot.” Moreover, “righteousness is holy *Malkhut*” (Tikkuney Zohar, Introduction). And *Malkhut* is an aspect of judgment, for “the judgment of *malkhut* is judgment” (Gittin 10b). Therefore, money is an aspect of judgment.


###### Likutei Moharan 180:1:4
[Likutei Moharan 180:1:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/180:1:4)

וְצָרִיךְ לְהַמְתִּיק הַדִּינִין בְּשָׁרְשָׁן, וְשֹׁרֶשׁ הַדִּינִין בְּבִינָה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (משלי ח׳:י״ד): אֲנִי בִינָה, לִי גְּבוּרָה. וְעַל כֵּן עַל־יְדֵי שֶׁמַּנִּיחִין הַיָּדַיִם עַל הַמָּעוֹת נִמְתָּקִין הַדִּינִין,

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Now, it is necessary to mitigate the judgments at their root. The root of judgment is in *Binah* (Understanding), as it is written (Proverbs 8:14), “I am *binah* (understanding); I have strength.” Therefore, through the placing of hands on the money, the judgments are mitigated.


###### Likutei Moharan 180:1:5
[Likutei Moharan 180:1:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/180:1:5)

כִּי יֵשׁ בַּבִּינָה שָׁלֹשׁ יָדַיִם, הַיְנוּ שֶׁיֵּשׁ שָׁם שְׁתֵּי יָדַיִם: יָד הַגְּדוֹלָה וְיָד הַחֲזָקָה, וּכְלָלוּת הַיָּדַיִם הוּא יָד הָרָמָה. וְעַל־כֵּן עַל־יְדֵי שֶׁבָּא הַמָּעוֹת, שֶׁהוּא הַדִּינִין, לְהַיָּדַיִם, שֶׁהֵם בְּחִינַת שָׁלֹשׁ יָדַיִם שֶׁבַּבִּינָה, נִמְתָּקִין הַדִּינִין בְּשָׁרְשָׁן, כִּי שָׁרְשָׁן הוּא בִּינָה שֶׁשָּׁם הַשָּׁלֹשׁ יָדַיִם הַנַּ"ל.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
This is because there are three hands in *Binah:* there are two hands—the “great hand” and the “strong hand”—and the synthesis of the two is the “exalted hand.” Thus, by virtue of the money/judgments coming into the hands—the three hands that are in *Binah*—the judgments are mitigated at their root. For their root is *Binah,* in which are the aforementioned three hands.

[Likutei Moharan 180:1:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/180:1:6)

וְצָרִיךְ לְהַמְתִּיק הַדִּין שֶׁבְּזֶה הָעוֹלָם הָעֲשִׂיָּה עַל־יְדֵי הַשְּׁלֹשָׁה יָדַיִם שֶׁיֵּשׁ בְּכָל עוֹלָם וְעוֹלָם מֵהַשְּׁלֹשָׁה עוֹלָמוֹת שֶׁלְּמַעְלָה מִזֶּה הָעוֹלָם הָעֲשִׂיָּה, הַיְנוּ: אֲצִילוּת בְּרִיאָה יְצִירָה,

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Aperson must mitigate the judgment in this World of Action by means of the three hands that are in each of the three worlds which are higher than this World of Action—namely, Nearness, Creation and Formation.


###### Likutei Moharan 180:1:7
[Likutei Moharan 180:1:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/180:1:7)

וּכְשֶׁמַּמְתִּיק הַדִּין שֶׁל עוֹלַם הָעֲשִׂיָּה בְּשָׁלֹשׁ יָדַיִם שֶׁבַּיְצִירָה, נִמְתָּק עַל־יְדֵי שֵׁם שֶׁל מ"ב אב"ג וְכוּ', כִּי מ"ב בְּגִימַטְרִיָּא שָׁלֹשׁ פְּעָמִים יָד.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
When the judgment of the World of Action is mitigated by the three hands in Formation, it is mitigated by means of the Name of Forty-Two: *Ana B’koach Gedulah….* This is because forty-two is equal to three times *YaD* (hand).

[Likutei Moharan 180:1:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/180:1:9)

וּלְמַעְלָה בְּעוֹלַם הָאֲצִילוּת, נִמְתָּק עַל יְדֵי מ"ב אוֹתִיּוֹת שֶׁל שֵׁם מ"ה, הַיְנוּ: פָּשׁוּט וּמִלּוּי וּמִלּוּי דְּמִלּוּי, שֶׁכֻּלָּם יַחַד הֵם מ"ב אוֹתִיּוֹת, שָׁלֹשׁ פְּעָמִים יָד.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
And higher up, in the World of Nearness, it is mitigated by means of the forty-two letters in the Name *MaH*—i.e., the simple spelling, the expansion, and the expansion of the expansion. Together they are forty-two letters, three times *YaD*.

וְצָרִיךְ לִרְאוֹת שֶׁלֹּא יִהְיֶה קַמְצָן, שֶׁלֹּא יִשָּׁאֵר אֶצְלוֹ דִּינִין, וְלָזֶה צָרִיךְ חָכְמָה יְתֵרָה, לָדַעַת כַּמָּה זֶה צָרִיךְ לִתֵּן שֶׁלֹּא יִשָּׁאֵר אֶצְלוֹ דִּינִין:

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Moreover, a person must try to avoid being stingy, so that the judgments should not remain with him. This requires extraordinary wisdom, to know how much the person must give so that the judgments do not remain with him.
