{“[Assist those who cease work on Shabbat…]; who stride on it with short steps; so’adim (who feast on it) three times in order to bless. May their righteousness shine forth like the light of the seven days.” (Shabbat Table Song). **Who stride on it with short steps—**This is because with regard to Z’er Anpin, Malkhut is an aspect of “a step outward,” as taught in the holy Zohar (III, 203b; and as explained in the writings of the Ari, of blessed memory) .

**So’ADim on it—**The explanation is: When we want to rectify her and bring her to maturity, as a SaAD (support) and “a helpmate,” so that they are face to face.

**three times in order to bless—**The explanation is: It is necessary to illumine Netzach, Hod and Yesod of Z’er Anpin, since she is constructed mainly from there.

**May their righteousness shine forth—**The explanation is: How are Netzach, Hod and Yesod of Z’er Anpin blessed? Through the mentalities that he receives, as is brought.

The mentalities are four: Chokhmah, Binah, Chesed and Gevurah. They are encompassed in Netzach, Hod and Yesod of Binah. This is:

like the light of the seven day s **—**These are a shin with three heads and a shin with four heads. {Until here the lesson is leshon Rabbeinu z’l.}
