שעיקר האור העצמי נשאר למעלה מן המסך, ואין ההארה רק מהעלם אור העצמי, שנתעלם בתוך עובי המסך שבוקע ומאיר, שנקרא הארה דהארה

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**

ושרש ענין המסך הזה הוא נעשה מבחינת לבוש החשמ"ל דחיצונית בינה שמקיף עד מתחת רגלי דזעיר אנפין ונוקבא כו' כנזכר לעיל

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Now the root of the matter of this screen-*Masach* is that it is made from the aspect of the garment of the *Chashmal,* from the externality of *Binah,* that encompasses until beneath the feet of *Zeir Anpin* and *Nukvah* etc.,¹¹ as previously mentioned.

###### The Gate of Unity 51:11
[The Gate of Unity 51:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/51:11)

להיות שגופו של מסך ופרגוד זה נעשה מצרופי אותיות שנקרא אבנים בספר יצירה, והאותיות שהמה בלתי מסודרים, כמו גל אבנים זה עם זה, הן כמו בחינת מסך הארוג מחוטין המבדיל ומפסיק

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is because the essence of the matter of this screen and curtain is that it is made from the combinations of letters that are called “stones” in Sefer Yetzirah,¹³ 4:12; *Torat Chayim, Bereishit* 21d. in which the letters are not properly ordered, are like a heap of stones, one upon the other, and are like the aspect of a screen that is woven of many threads and causes a break and separation.

###### The Gate of Unity 51:12
[The Gate of Unity 51:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/51:12)

וכדוגמא שאנו רואים באותיות הדבור, שכאשר הן מסודרים על פי שכל, מאיר בהן אור השכל להדיא, שיוכל המקבל להבין, כמו שמשיגו המשפיע ממש

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is comparable to what we observe with the letters of speech, that when they are properly ordered according to intellect, the light of the intellect clearly radiates within them, so that the recipient is able to understand [the matter] exactly as the influencer [intends].


###### The Gate of Unity 51:13
[The Gate of Unity 51:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/51:13)

מה שאין כן כשאין מסודרים, לא ישיגנו המקבל כלל

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
In contrast, when they are not properly ordered, the recipient will not grasp them at all.


###### The Gate of Unity 51:14
[The Gate of Unity 51:14](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/51:14)

(וכמו אור שכל וחכמה הגנוז בהעלם במשל וחידה, בענין זר לגמרי, רק שמכל מקום עומד מתוכו על אותו אור השכל

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
(This is also similar to the light of the intellect and wisdom that is concealed and hidden in an analogy or a riddle about a completely foreign matter. Nonetheless, through it, he is able to come to that intellectual light.


###### The Gate of Unity 51:15
[The Gate of Unity 51:15](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/51:15)

נקרא גם זה בשם בקיעת מסך, כאור השמש הנראה בבקיעת אור השחר, דרך עובי הרקיע כו' וכמו שכתוב במקום אחר)

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This too is called a penetration of the screen, similar to the light of the sun as it is seen when its rays break through the thickness of the morning mist, as explained elsewhere.)


###### The Gate of Unity 51:16
[The Gate of Unity 51:16](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/51:16)

ולהיות כי אין ערך בין אצילות לבריאה, על כן הוצרך להיות בחינת צמצום דמסך הזה

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Since there is no comparison between *Atzilut* and *Briyah*, therefore there needed to be this aspect of the *Tzimtzum* of the screen-*Masach*.


###### The Gate of Unity 51:17
[The Gate of Unity 51:17](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/51:17)

(כמו שהוצרך להיות בחינת צמצום הראשון הנקרא מקום פנוי וחלל ריקן, בין העצמות דאור אין סוף להיות מקור להמשכת הקו כו' כמו שכתוב למעלה

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
(This is similar to how there needed to be the aspect of the first *Tzimtzum,* which is called the empty place and vacant space between the Essential Self of the light of *HaShem-*יהו"ה, the Unlimited One (*Ein Sof*), to be the source for the drawing down of the *Kav*-line etc., as previously explained.


###### The Gate of Unity 51:18
[The Gate of Unity 51:18](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/51:18)

רק שם היה בחינת העלם והתכללות האור בעצמותו הנקרא מקום פנוי, ולא בחינת מסך ממש

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Only that there, [in *HaShem’s*-יהו"ה Essential Self], it was an aspect of concealment and inclusion of the light within His Essential Self, and is called the Empty place (*Makom Panuy*), rather than an actual screen.


###### The Gate of Unity 51:19
[The Gate of Unity 51:19](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/51:19)

כמו דוגמת התעלמות הידיעה באריכות, בשעה ששונה בקיצור כו' כנזכר לעיל, לפי שהכל בבחינת עצמותו עדיין

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This was compared to the concealment of one's own expansive knowledge, at a time when he reviews it in summary etc., as discussed previously. This is because all this is still within the aspect of His Essential Self.


###### The Gate of Unity 51:20
[The Gate of Unity 51:20](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/51:20)

מה שאין כן מאצילות לבריאה, מבחינת בלתי בעל גבול להיות מקור לבעל גבול ממש, הוצרך להיות מסך בהפסק גמור

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is not the case from *Atzilut* to *Briyah,* because from an aspect of limitlessness to become the source of actual limitation, it is necessary for there to be a screen, in a way of complete separation.


###### The Gate of Unity 51:21
[The Gate of Unity 51:21](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/51:21)

אבל יש בו יתרון מעלה במה שהמסך עצמו נעשית מבעל הצמצום, כמו מי שעשה את המשל לנמשל, או מי שעושה הצירופים דאותיות בלתי מסודרים וכהאי גוונא, שאין הפסק המסך הזה ענין הפסק והבדל אמיתי לעצמו, רק לגבי המקבלים בלבד

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Nevertheless, there is a great benefit in the fact that the screen itself is made by He who made the *Tzimtzum-*restraint Himself, like a person who [himself] makes the analogy for the analogue, or like one who [intentionally] mixes the order of the letters and the like, because of which, this separation of the screen is not a true break or separation for himself, but only in relation to the recipients.


###### The Gate of Unity 51:22
[The Gate of Unity 51:22](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/51:22)

וכהדין קמצא דלבושים מיניה וביה כו' וכמו שכתוב בלקוטי אמרים (

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is analogous to a snail whose garment is of himself and part of himself etc.,¹⁴ as explained in Tanya.¹⁵)

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
(This is the meaning of¹⁶ “[I am first, and I am last].” That is, “I am first” with the first *Tzimtzum* of the empty place, and “I am last” is the final *Tzimtzum* between *Atzilut* and *Briyah* etc., because this end action of *Atzilut,* arose first in the thought and desire of *Malchut* of *HaShem-*יהו"ה, the Unlimited One (*Ein Sof*) etc. This will suffice for the understanding.)

והנה ידוע דזהו שרש ענין ברוך שם כבוד מלכותו לעולם ועד בחינת יחודא תתאה דמלכות

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Now, as known, this is the root of the matter of, “Blessed be the Name of His glorious Kingship forever and ever etc.,” which is the aspect of the “Lower Unity” (*Yichuda Tata'a*) of *Malchut*.¹⁷

דהיינו בחינת הארת עשר ספירות דמלכות דאצילות בבריאה כו', בבחינת הארה דהארה הנזכר לעיל, כמו שכתוב באורך נראה אור כו'

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
That is, it is the radiance of the ten *Sefirot* of *Malchut* of *Atzilut* within *Briyah,* in the aforementioned aspect of a “glimmer of a glimmer,” as it states, “In your light is light seen etc.”

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
Regarding this it states,¹⁸ “*HaShem-*יהו"ה, He is *Elohi”m-*אלהי"ם etc.,” and as known regarding the statement,¹⁹ 135a “Just as they are unified above” referring to the union of *Zeir Anpin* and *Nukvah* in the aspect of *Atzilut*, “so likewise is she unified below” referring to *Malchut* in “the Throne” (which is called) *Briyah* etc.

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This then, is what the tribes, who are rooted in the six directions of *Briyah,* said to Yaakov, who is the master of the world of *Atzilut*,²⁰ “Just as in your heart there is only One-*Echad*-אחד” – in the aspect of the upper unity of *Atzilut,* wherein He and His life force and His organs are one – “So likewise in our hearts there is only One-*Echad*-אחד,” in the aspect of *Malchut* of *Atzilut,* as it is in *Briyah* in the lower unity.

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
(The matter of expansions (*Miluy*) is known by way of example from the letter *Yod*-י. When it is pronounced (as a word) it has an expansion of *Vav* and *Dalet* (*Yod*-יו"ד), which is the explanation and expansion of the point of the written letter *Yod*-י.

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
And when one needs to explain the expansion of the *Vav*-ו and *Dalet*-ד, they too expand into additional letters of *Vav-*וא”ו and *Dalet*-דלי”ת. And so on with the expansions of the *Vav*-וא”ו and *Dalet*-דלי”ת until there are multiple expansions upon expansions (*Miluy D'Miluy*) etc.

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
This is similar to what is explained elsewhere regarding the matter of, “He spoke three thousand analogies” which are like the multitude of combinations that come in a way of chaining down, one after the other, each one internal to the next, like an analogy to an analogue, that descends and chains down. For, [even] the analogy for this analogue, itself requires an analogy, as stated in the Zohar.²⁷

[The Gate of Unity 51:36](https://torahapp.org/share/book/The%20Gate%20of%20Unity/r/51:36)

ויש בחינת מילוי בהיפך, שנתעלם בהעלם תוך העלם כו' וכמו שכתוב במקום אחר שזהו ענין לבוש המסך כו' ודי למבין

**Translated by Rabbi Amiram Markel, 2023:**
There is also the aspect of expansion in the opposite sense, in which there is concealment upon concealment, as explained elsewhere that this is the matter of the garment of the screen-*Masach* etc. This will suffice for the understanding.
