    Raaya Meheimna (the Faithful Shepherd)

    227b.It is a commandment to be afflicted on Yom Kippur, to subjugate body and soul by

    means of the five afflictions, the five grades of Yom Kippur, WHICH ARE CHESED,GVURAH,TIFERET,NETZACH AND HOD, for the prosecutor comes to impart their sins aswe learned. And they are all, ALL OF YISRAEL, repenting wholly before their Father, as we

    learned in different places.

    120. Yom Kippur

    A Synopsis

    The Zohar tells us that Yom Kippur is from the Tree of Life, where no evil has any part. Onthat day even those people who are under a sentence of judgment are forgiven. We hear

    about the difference between vows and oaths, and about the iniquities of Yisrael that are

    purified or whitened through repentance. We learn that on Yom Kippur a Shofar raises up avoice for freedom. There are three grades of worship on that day: thought, speech and deed.

    807. And you shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month which is the month of

    Tishrei, a holy gathering (Bemidbar 29:7), which is Yom Kippur, which is the tenth, whichis Yud, and these are the Ten Days of Repentance, and five prayer services were ordained for

    it in order to join the Yud with the Hei, NAMELY,CHOCHMAH WITH BINAH.What is themeaning of holy gathering? It is to differentiate it from other days when secular work is

    permitted which is why scripture says: you shall not do any work (Ibid.).

    808.And those days on which secular work may be done are from the side of the Tree of

    Knowledge of Good and Evil, that turned from a rod into a serpent and from a serpent backinto a rod, for each person according to his deeds, and this Metatron is rod, while Samael

    ISserpent. But on this day, which is Yok Kippur that is called holy, the Tree of Life is incontrol, and no devil nor evil spirit joins with it, and from its side nor shall evil dwell with

    You (Tehilim 5:5), BUT IT IS THROUGHOUT GOOD. And this is why in it, in the Tree of

    Life, the slaves find rest and go out to freedom, and emerge from their chains.

    809.Those over whom there is a verdict, A VERDICT NOT TO BE CHANGEDunder vow or

    oath, it was decreed for this reason that the following shall be recited: All vows (AramaicKol nidrei), bonds...they shall all of them be released and annulled. They shall not be

    binding, nor shall they have any power. BUT THE VERDICT SHALL BE VOIDED FROMTHEM. And this is why the vow is in the name of Yud Hei Vav Hei, which is Tiferet, while

    the oath is in the name of Adonai, which is Malchut, for they caused their own exile BY

    THEIR SINS. AND NOW, by means of Chochmah and Binah, they will be released andannulled; they shall not be binding, nor shall they have any power. And all thecongregation of the children of Yisrael shall be forgiven (Bemidbar 15:26). Chesed is

    water, Gvurah is fire, and Tiferet is air, AND SINCE THE VOWS ARE INTIFERET,WHICH ISAIR, the sages of the Mishnah therefore taught: release from vows hovers in the air, FOR

    812.And it is said about Yom Kippur: and you shall afflict your souls (Bemidbar 29:7)

    AND ALSO: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your

    souls (Vayikra 16:29). And five afflictions were decreed for it, so that small Hei, WHICH

    IS MALCHUT, should be purified in upper Hei, WHICH IS BINAH, OF WHOSE LEFTCOLUMN,THE AFFLICTIONS ARE DRAWN,which are five prayers, to establish in Yisrael:though your sins be like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow (Yeshayah 1:18). And

    this is the secret of the crimson colored strip,WHICH WAS TIED TO THE DOOR OF THESANCTUARY FROM INSIDE,WHICH,WHEN THE HE-GOAT REACHED THE WILDERNESS,

    TURNED WHITE. All the iniquities of the House of Yisrael reach to Malchut; and

    Repentance, which is Binah, purifies (whitens) them, for it is written about it, ABOUT

    MALCHUT: IAM HASHEMthat remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness(Vayikra 16:16). And the four garments of white and the four garments of gold for apparel

    are THE SECRET OF Yud-Aleph-Hei-Dalet-Vav-Nun-Hei-Yud, WHICH IS THE

    COMBINATION OF THE LETTERS OF YUD HEI VAV HEI AND THOSE OF ADONAI.FORTHE FOUR GARMENTS OF WHITE ARE THE SECRET OF THE FOUR LETTERS OF YUD HEIVAV HEI WHILE THE FOUR GARMENTS OF GOLD ARE THE SECRET OF THE FOURLETTERS OF ADONAI.

    14. On the tenth day of this seventh month

    A Synopsis

    The old sage explains why the Yom Kippur is on the tenth day. We learn of the seventy

    years that apply to everyone. We learn that on Yom Kippur one must not reveal his sinsto another, because the accusers may use it against him, and besides, it is shameless toreveal ones sins it is a desecration of Gods Holy Name. The seventh month is Gods,

    but He gave it to Yisrael as a revelation. This entire month is from the Upper World,Binah; therefore it is covered because the Upper World is in concealment. On the

    fifteenth day of the month, it is revealed, since everything becomes revealed with thefullness of the moon. From this day the Sfirot descend to the secret of the Lower World,Malchut. The old sage and Rabbi Shimon discuss the question of who passed Judgment

    on the world on Rosh Hashanah, and why Malchut judges only those who are twentyyears of age or older.

    116. It is written: On the tenth day (Heb. beasor) of this seventh month (Bemidbar

    29:7), and: Also on the tenth day of this month (Vayikra 23:27). HE ASKS WHY IT IS

    WRITTEN beasor (lit. on day ten) when it should say tenth. Why ten? HEANSWERS: It is because now, on this day, all the high grades come upon each other,MEANING THAT THE TEN SFIROT THAT HAVETHREE FIRST SFIROT ARE DRAWN FROMIMA to rest upon the moon, WHICH IS MALCHUT,to shine on it. And they all pertain to thesecret of ten so they add up to a hundred, BECAUSE TEN TIMES TEN EQUALS A HUNDRED.When it is based on the secret of a hundred, MEANING THAT IT HAS FIRST THREE SFIROT,then it is all one, FOR MALCHUT IS ONE WITH IMA. And BOTH are called the Day ofAtonement. Therefore, it is written, on day ten (Heb. asor), WHICH IS DERIVED FROM

    THE WORD SOURCE, as written, Remember (Shemot 20:8) and Keep (Devarim 5:12).THIS IS BECAUSE TENTH (HEB. ASIRI) MEANS AN ALLUSION TO MALCHUT ONLY,WHICH IS THE TENTH SFIRAH, BUT TEN, WHICH IS DERIVED FROM SOURCE,INDICATES ALL TEN SFIROT TOGETHER. For they all come FROM IMA in order to multiplyby ten EVERY SFIRAH and shine by means of ten NAMELY, ALSO INCLUDING THE

    THREE FIRST SFIROT.

    117. The old sage turned towards Rabbi Shimon and said to him: I know that you have aquestion about this passage, On the tenth day of this month. Rabbi Shimon said to him:

    Certainly, on day ten, WHAT YOU SAID,THAT IT POINTS TO TENis fitting. But if it is so,why does it add up to a hundred? From the passage, it seems that it all adds up only to

    seventy, for it is written: On day ten of this seventh month And when you multiply

    seven by ten, it equals seventy. He said to him: For this did I turn to you, because I know

    you are a wise man.

    118. Come and behold: there are two secrets here. The first is that the moon, WHICH IS

    MALCHUT, is called the seventh month and therefore the seventh month is called ten,AS IT SAYS,ON DAY TEN OF THIS SEVENTH MONTH.This is because they shine on ittenfold, MEANING TEN SFIROT,AND TEN TIMES TEN equals a hundred.THERE IS anotherSECRET HERE,because what you said, THAT TENINDICATES MULTIPLYING SEVEN BY

    TEN,assuredly amounts to seventy on that day, IN SUCH A MANNER,that it is both in thelevel of seventy and in the level of a hundred. IT ISin the level of a hundred in order to

    make it whole WITH THE THREE FIRST SFIROT and shine on it; AND IT ISin the level ofseventy because on this day MALCHUT receives all Yisrael in order to judge them. Theyare all in the soul rather than in the body, because on this day the soul is afflicted but not

    the body, as is written: And you shall afflict your souls (Vayikra 23:27), and, for

    whatever person (lit. soul) shall not be afflicted (Ibid. 29). For that day takes all the

    souls, and they are under its authority. Had it not been of the secret of seventy, it would nothave authority over the souls, because souls are maintained by means of seventy, as it is

    written: The days of our years are seventy (Tehilim 90:10).
