תּוֹרָה קיא תּוֹרָה קיא Source: https://ajew.org/reader/kitzur-likutay-moharan/1/114 Segment 1 HE: תּוֹרָה קיא רֹאשׁ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל רָאשֵׁי־תֵּבוֹת רַבִּי, וּלְהֵפֶךְ רְשָׁעִים בַּחֹשֶׁךְ יִדַּמּוּ רָאשֵׁי־תֵּבוֹת רַבִּי: [עַל־פִּי הַיָּדוּעַ מֵהַבַּעַל־שֵׁם־טוֹב, שֶׁעַל־יְדֵי גֵּאוּת יְכוֹלִין לִפּוֹל מֵאִיגְרָא רָמָא לְבִירָא עֲמִיקְתָּא, וְיָכוֹל לִהְיוֹת מֵרֹאשׁ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הַהֵפֶּךְ. וְכֵן עַל־יְדֵי אֲכִילָה שֶׁלֹּא נִתְבַּרְרָה, וּכְיוֹחָנָן כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב בְּשֵׁם הָאֲרִיזַ"ל]. EN: "Rosh B'nai Yisroel" [head of the children of Israel] — the initial letters spell "Rabbi". And in reverse — "u'R'sha'im ba-choshech yidamu" [and the wicked shall be silent in darkness] — the initial letters also spell "Rabbi". [According to what is known from the Ba'al Shem Tov — that through arrogance one can fall from the highest heights to the deepest depths ["me'igra ramma l'bira amikta"] — and it is possible to go from the head of the children of Israel to the opposite. And similarly through eating food that was not yet clarified — as in the case of Yochanan the High Priest — as written in the name of the Ari, of blessed memory.]
