them the extra souls on the Sabbath.

The ‘additional service’¹ **– this is the Righteous-One², that includes all prayers. And it is in the additional prayer that they say: ‘A Crown¹ they give to you Y”Y ELoQeYNU...’³

footnotes: ¹ musaph ² Yesod ¹ keter ³ Liturgical, Sabbath Additional Service (Spanish rite)

And the ‘crown’ is Higher Keter, Y”Y ELoQeYNU is Father and Mother, (Is. 6:3) Holy, holy, holy...– the three Patriarchs, Y”Y of Hosts – the covenant of circumcision, and the two ‘thighs of truth’¹, ... the Earth is full of His glory – this is the Shekhinah.

Worthy are the lips that are gates of the chamber, to receive through them these prayers, and because of this: (Ps. 51:17) ADNY! Open my lips...

(Ps. 118:19) *Open for me the gates of righteousness... *For when a person opens his mouth in prayer, through His Shekhinah, then immediately: (Is. 58:9) Then¹ *you shall call and Y”Y will answer... *– ‘He and His court of judgement’. A-Z¹² – eight letters which are YQV”Q EQY”Q – Father and Mother, *And Y”Y will answer...*immediately! – He and His court of judgement: YQV”Q ADNY.

When They these Holy Names are in Father and in Mother, to the right and the left, each one is a Name unto itself. Yet when They are in Higher Keter, they are in complete unity, like this: Y-A-Q-Q-V-Y-Q-Q. In Ḥesed and Gevurah, They are YQV”Q EQY”Q: branches separating to right and to left. In the Middle Pillar¹, they are, both-of-them, in complete unity. And likewise, there are branches separating in Netzaḥ and Hod: YQV”Q to the right, EQY”Q to the left. In ‘the Righteous-One’²¹ they unite.

Behold, here is ‘the mystery of the Tree’, whose branches spread out from above, and are unified in its roots below – and this is the Tree of Life.

The Tree of the knowledge of good – in which there is no evil – is from below to above, like this: ADNY is the Lower Shekhinah, YQV”Q is the Middle Pillar: and they are in the two thighs¹ – branches separating to right and left. And so it is with the two arms, which are branches that separate to right and to left, in the Righteous-One they are in complete unity: Y-A-Q-D-V-N-Q-Y. And this is the mystery of ḥashmal – ḥeyvan² ofesha² *me-male-lan*².

‘All who bend the knee, bend the knee at ‘Blessed’...’¹ – which is Y-A-Q-D-V-N-Q-Y. ‘And all who stand-upright, stand-upright in the Name...’² in the two Names, and this is YQV”Q EQY”Q.

And with Them does He praise the Shekhinah in Song of Songs, from below to above. It is this that is written: (Song. 7:2–6) *How beautiful are your steps in shoes, O daughter of the noble one, the curves of your thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a craftsman. Your navel is a moon-shaped dish... your two breasts... your neck... your head... *Behold, here is from below to above.

And She praises the blessed Holy One from above to below: (Song. 5:11–15) *His head is fine gold... his eyes... his cheeks... his lips... his hands... his thighs... *Worthy is he who elevates prayer in each-and-every place, [Var. in each-and-every limb] with this ritual.

[Var. return to above: ‘If a person elevates...’]

Come see: YQV”Q ADNY is the blessed Holy One and His Shekhinah, in the two thighs: YQV”Q to the right, ADNY to the left. And They are the ‘looking glass that illuminates’, and the ‘looking glass that does not illuminate’. In the Righteous-One, They are both one: Y-A-Q-D-V-N-Q-Y.

And so it is in the two arms: YQV”Q to the right, ADNY to the left, in the Middle Pillar Y-A-Q-D-V-N-Q-Y¹, both-of-Them in complete unity, in the mystery of AMeN¹.

And because of this: ‘Greater is the one who answers ‘Amen’ than the one who blesses’¹ – this is from below to above.

footnotes: ¹ BT Berakhot 53b

From above to below: YQV”Q EQY”Q – both-of-Them are one in Higher Keter, like this: Y-A-Q-Q-V-Y-Q-Q.

In Ḥokhmah and Binah: YQV”Q EQY”Q. In the two arms: YQV”Q EQY”Q. In the Middle Pillar, both-of-Them are as one. In Netzaḥ and Hod: YQV”Q EQY”Q – This one to the right, and This one to the left. In the Righteous-One, both-of-Them are in unity as one.

And similarly, in Malkhut, both-of-Them are in singular unity, like this: YQV”Q ADNY, and in it are joined YQV”Q EQY”Q. And because of this, it is: (Josh. 14:15) ... the city of ‘four’... – the joining of four Names, which are in the four scroll portions,¹ of the phylacteries¹ of the hand, and in the four ‘housings’ of the phylacteries of the head.

And when a prophet would ascend upon High, and knock at the gate, if he had ascended with the Shekhinah, He would open for him immediately, and would say to him: (Ez. 2:1) Son of man! Stand upon your feet and I shall speak with you...

For you have borne the Shekhinah in standing prayer. Stand upon your feet of which it is stated: (Ez. 1:7) And their feet... as the hoof of a calf¹ *... *Circular¹ – like vowel-points, which are the ‘conductors of the letters,’ and from the aspect of the letters, they are square. It is this that is written: (Ez. 1:17) When they went, they went upon their four sides...
