[Likutei Moharan 32:1:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/32:1:1)

לְשׁוֹן רַבֵּנוּ זִכְרוֹנוֹ לִבְרָכָה אֲדֹנָי שְׂפָתַי תִּפְתָּח (תהילים נ״א:י״ז), וְהוּא בְּחִינַת רִקּוּדִין שֶׁל חֲתֻנָּה. כִּי כָּל זְמַן שֶׁלֹּא נְתוּנָה לְזִוּוּג, הִיא אִתְקְרִיאַת נַעֲר בְּלֹא ה' (זוהר בא דף לח:), גִּימַטְרִיָּא שַׁ"ךְ דִּינִים,

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
“*Adonoy Sfatai* (O God, my lips) open” (Psalms 51:17). This corresponds to the dancing at a wedding. This is because as long as she [the bride] has not been given for union, she is called a *naara* (maiden)—spelled without the *heh* (Zohar II, 38b) ; numerically equivalent to the three hundred and twenty judgments.

[Likutei Moharan 32:1:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/32:1:2)

וְכַד אִתְתַּקְנַת לְזִוּוּג אִתְקְרִיאַת נַעֲרָה בְּהֵ"א, שֶׁנִּמְתָּקִין הַדִּינִין עַל־יְדֵי ה' אַלְפִין שֶׁל אֶהְיֶה שֶׁבַּבִּינָה, כַּמּוּבָא בִּ"פְרִי־עֵץ־חַיִּים" שַׁעַר עֲמִידָה.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
But when she is rectified for union, she is called a *naaraH,* with the *heh.* The judgments are mitigated by means of the five *alephs* of *Ehyeh* that are in *Binah,* as is brought in the *Pri Etz Chaim, Shaar Amidah* .


###### Likutei Moharan 32:1:3
[Likutei Moharan 32:1:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/32:1:3)

נִמְצָא הַכַּלָּה עֲדַיִן בִּבְחִינוֹת נַעַר, בִּבְחִינוֹת שַׁ"ךְ דִּינִים, וְצָרִיךְ לְהַמְתִּיקָהּ וּלְתַקְּנָהּ. וְזֶה נַעֲשֶׂה עַל־יְדֵי רִקּוּדִין. כִּי הָרַגְלִין הֵם בִּבְחִינוֹת נֶצַח וָהוֹד. וְהֵם נִתְנַשְּׂאִים עַל־יְדֵי הַלֵּב, הַיְנוּ עַל־יְדֵי שִׂמְחַת הַלֵּב, כַּנִּרְאֶה בְּחוּשׁ שֶׁעַל־יְדֵי שִׂמְחַת הַלֵּב מְרַקְּדִין, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב גַּבֵּי יַעֲקֹב (בראשית כ״ט:א׳): וַיִּשָּׂא יַעֲקֹב אֶת רַגְלָיו, וּפֵרֵשׁ רַשִׁי: לִבּוֹ נָשָׂא אֶת רַגְלָיו. וְלֵב הוּא בִּינָה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב: בִּינָה לִבָּא, וּבָהּ הַלֵּב מֵבִין.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Thus the bride is still in the category of *naara,* the three hundred and twenty judgments, and must be mitigated and rectified. This is achieved by dancing, because the legs correspond to *Netzach* and *Hod.* They are lifted up by the heart, i.e., through the joy of the heart. This is seen empirically, that through the joy of the heart we dance. As is written about Yaakov (Genesis 29:1), “Yaakov lifted up his legs,” and Rashi explains that his heart carried his legs. And the heart is *Binah,* as is written: *Binah* is the heart, and with it the heart understands (Tikkuney Zohar, Introduction).

[Likutei Moharan 32:1:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/32:1:4)

עַל כֵּן צָרִיךְ לְכַוֵּן בָּרִקּוּדִים [לְהַמְשִׁיךְ] הָאַלְפִין שֶׁבַּלֵּב עַל־יְדֵי הָרַגְלִין לְהַכַּלָּה, שֶׁהִיא בְּחִינַת חָמֵשׁ פְּעָמִים דִּין, גִּימַטְרִיָּא שַׁ"ךְ, גִּימַטְרִיָּא נַעַר. וְעַל־יְדֵי אוֹר הַלֵּב שֶׁנִּמְשָׁךְ לָהּ, נַעֲשֵׂית נַעֲרָה בְּהֵ"א, וְנַעֲשֵׂית ה' פְּעָמִים "אֲדֹנָי".

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
Therefore, one has to intend while dancing to draw the *alephs* in the heart to the bride by means of the legs. She is the aspect of five times *din* (judgment), which is numerically equivalent to three hundred twenty and to *naara.* And through the light of the heart that is drawn to her, she becomes *naarah,* with a *heh,* and five times *Adonoy* .


###### Likutei Moharan 32:1:5
[Likutei Moharan 32:1:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/32:1:5)

וְזֶה בְּחִינַת: אֲדֹנָי שְׂפָתַי תִּפְתָּח, שֶׁעַל־יְדֵי הַשְּׂפָתַיִם, שֶׁהֵם נֶצַח וָהוֹד, נִפְתָּח וְנִמְתָּק הַכַּלָּה בִּבְחִינַת זִוּוּג, וְנַעֲשֵׂית בְּחִינַת אֲדֹנָי, שֶׁהִיא נַעֲרָה, שֶׁהִיא רְאוּיָה לְזִוּוּג.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
This is the meaning of, “*Adonoy* (O God), open my lips.” Through the lips, which are *Netzach* and *Hod,* the bride is opened and mitigated in the aspect of union. She becomes the aspect of *Adonoy, naarah,* fitting for union.

[Likutei Moharan 32:1:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/32:1:6)

וְזֶה דְּאִיתָא בַּמִּדְרָשׁ (בראשית פ' ע') כְּשֶׁנָּשָׂא יַעֲקֹב אֶת לֵאָה, בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁהָיוּ מְרַקְּדִין, הָיוּ מְזַמְּרִין הַיְא לַיְא, לִרְמֹז לְיַעֲקֹב הָא לֵאָה. הַיְנוּ כִּי לֵאָה הִיא עָלְמָא דְּאִתְכַּסְיָא (זוהר ויצא קנד), שֶׁהוּא בְּחִינַת לֵב, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (תהילים קי״ט:י״א): בְּלִבִּי צָפַנְתִּי אִמְרָתֶךָ, וּמִשָּׁם הַמִּתּוּק שֶׁל הַדִּינִים, כְּשֶׁמַּמְשִׁיכִין הֵ"א מֵהַלֵּב.

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
This is what is found in the Midrash (Bereishit Rabbah 70:19): At the wedding of Yaakov and Leah, while [the people] were dancing, they sang, “*Hei’a lei’a*”—to hint to Yaakov that “this is Leah.” This is because Leah is the “hidden world” (Zohar I, 154a), corresponding to the heart, as in (Psalms 119:11), “In my heart I have hidden away Your word.” From there comes the mitigation of the judgments, when the *heh* is drawn from the heart.


###### Likutei Moharan 32:1:7
[Likutei Moharan 32:1:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Likutei%20Moharan/r/32:1:7)

וְזֶה: הָא לֵאָה, שֶׁצָּרִיךְ לְהַמְשִׁיךְ מִלֵּאָה הָאַלְפִין, כְּדֵי לְהַמְתִּיק וּלְתַקֵּן אֶת הַכַּלָּה. גַּם הָיוּ אוֹמְרִים שֶׁהַכַּלָּה שְׁמָהּ לֵאָה, שֶׁעַל־יְדֵי בְּחִינוֹת עַצְמָהּ נִמְתֶּקֶת:

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
This is the meaning of, “*heh* Leah,” that one must draw the *alephs* from Leah in order to mitigate and rectify the bride. They were also saying that the bride’s name is Leah, who through her own aspect is mitigated.
