      "en": "ר\n\nREISH — Numerical Value: 200 | The letter of 216 (Reish-Yud-Vov) and of the Alef's hidden form | 38 source entries\n\n [Translator's Note] In the source, Reish appears embedded within the Kuf section — separated by a single ר line. It is presented here as its own section (§20) to properly honor all 22 letters of the alphabet. The Reish-Yud-Vov (= 216) cluster is the dominant theme, connecting to the shape of the Alef, the sefirah of Gevurah, and the Divine Name Adonai.\n\nHebrew EntryEnglish Translation & ExplanationSource\n\n ר'אש ב'ני י'שראל — רבי\n \n Roshay Saveivos\n\n The first letters of \"the head of the children of Israel\" (ר׳אש ב׳ני י׳שראל) spell רבי (Rabbi, \"my teacher / the master\"). [Cross-reference: Rabbi → same verse, listed below.]\n \n Likutay Mooharan 111\n\n ר'אש ה'שנה י'ום כ'פור ס'וכות — כרסיה\n \n Roshay Saveivos\n\n The first letters of the three great festivals of Tishrei — Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkos — spell כרסיה (kursaya, \"His throne\"). [Cross-reference from Section 11.]\n \n Chayay Mooharan §84\n\n ראש תוך וסוף — אמת\n \n Tziroof\n\n Emes (אמת, \"truth\") is formed by the beginning (Alef), middle (Mem), and end (Tav) of the Hebrew alphabet. [Cross-reference from Section 1.] Truth spans all of reality.\n \n Likutay Mooharan 112\n\n ראשי בת — בראשית\n \n Tziroof\n\n Rashei Bas (ראשי בת, \"the beginning of the daughter\") — its letters are a permutation of בראשית (Bereishis). [Cross-reference from Section 2.]\n \n Likutay Mooharan 13:4; 38:7\n\n רב חסד — מרדכי\n \n Gematria\n\n \"And abundant in lovingkindness\" (ורב חסד) [Exodus 34:6] = gematria of Mordechai (מרדכי). [Cross-reference from Section 13.]\n \n Likutay Mooharan 60:9\n\n רב ע' אותיות — רעב\n \n Tziroof\n\n Rav ayin (רב ע׳, \"many eyes / seventy great ones\") — its letters spell רעב (ra'av, \"hunger / famine\"). The many-eyed great ones — when their vision is withdrawn — produce hunger. [Cross-reference: Ra'av listed below.]\n \n Sefer HaMidos, \"Strife\" 2:5\n\n רבא — באר\n \n Tziroof\n\n Rabbah (רבא, \"the great one\" — Aramaic title) — its letters are a permutation of באר (be'er, \"a well\"). [Cross-reference from Section 2.] The great master is a well of Torah.\n \n Likutay Mooharan 177\n\n רבי / ריב\n \n Tziroof\n\n Rabbi (רבי, \"my teacher / master\") — its letters are a permutation of ריב (riv, \"quarrel / dispute\"). The master and the quarrel share their letters — the Rabbi transforms disputes into Torah.\n\n Roshay Saveivos (×2)\n\n Rabbi is the first letters of two phrases:\n\n (1) ר׳אש ב׳ני י׳שראל — \"the head of the children of Israel\";\n\n (2) ר׳שעים ב׳חושך י׳דמו — \"the wicked are silenced in darkness\" [1 Samuel 2:9]. The master brings light to silence the wicked.\n \n Likutay Mooharan 48; 111; 108\n\n רוח מ\"ם — רומח\n \n Tziroof\n\n Ruach Mem (רוח מם, \"the spirit of Mem\") embodies the aspect of רומח (romach, \"spear / lance\"). And conversely: a spear = the spirit of Mem. The spear is the spirit of the fortieth gate — the weapon of spiritual warfare is the spirit of Mem (water/Torah).\n \n Likutay Mooharan 8:8; 10:9\n\n רחל / ל'פתח ח'טאת ר'ובץ\n \n Roshay Saveivos\n\n Rachel (רחל) — first letters of ל׳פתח ח׳טאת ר׳ובץ: \"sin crouches at the door\" [Genesis 4:7] — \"in the returning of the faces\" (be'chazaras anpin). [Cross-reference from Section 12.] Rachel's name transforms the crouching sin at the door.\n\n And: ר׳חל מ׳בכה ע׳ל ב׳ניה — \"Rachel weeping for her children\" — first letters spell מערב (ma'arav, \"west / evening\"). [Cross-reference from Section 13.]\n \n Likutay Mooharan 48; II:67\n\n רחש — ש'רים ר'דפוני ח'נם\n \n Roshay Saveivos\n\n Rachash (רחש, \"a stirring / rustling — inner speech\") — first letters of ש׳רים ר׳דפוני ח׳נם: \"Princes have persecuted me without cause\" [Psalms 119:161]. The inner stirring of the heart is the response to unjust persecution.\n \n Likutay Mooharan 237\n\n ריאה — יהו'ה רוע'י ל'א אחס'ר\n \n Sofay Saveivos\n\n The final letters of \"Hashem is my shepherd, I shall not lack\" [Psalms 23:1] spell ריאה (reyah, \"lung\"). [Cross-reference from Section 10.]\n \n Likutay Mooharan II:8; 12\n\n ריו\n \n Multiple\n\n Reish-Yud-Vov (ריו = 200+10+6 = 216) — the number that encodes the form of the letter Alef — yields a cluster of connections:\n\n (1) Gematria ריו = Ayin-Beis [72] three times (72 × 3 = 216);\n\n (2) ריו twice (432) = gematria of תבל (tevel, \"the inhabited world\" = 432);\n\n (3) Shape ריו is the visual form of the letter Alef;\n\n (4) ריו דין (216 + judgment) = gematria of מנצפ\"ך (the five final letters) [cross-reference from Sections 6, 13];\n\n (5) ריו דין = the letters of ורידין (\"veins\") [cross-reference from Section 6];\n\n (6) ריו דין embodies the aspect of Adonai — for Reish-Yud-Vov is the form of the Alef, which becomes Adonai [cross-reference from Sections 1, 5].\n [The number 216 is the key number of this section — it equals Gevurah (strength), the Alef's hidden form, three times the Name of 72, and the gematria of the world (tevel). The 216-nexus is one of the deepest architectural features of Rebbe Nachman's kabbalistic teachings.]\n\n \n Likutay Mooharan 46; 37:6\n\n ריתמא — ת'וכו ר'צוף א'הבה מ'בנות י'רושלים\n \n Roshay Saveivos\n\n Rismah (ריתמא — the name of a desert encampment in the Israelites' journey, Numbers 33:18) — first letters of ת׳וכו ר׳צוף א׳הבה מ׳בנות י׳רושלים: \"its interior inlaid with love, by the daughters of Jerusalem\" [Song of Songs 3:10]. A desert way-station encodes the inlaid love of Jerusalem.\n \n Likutay Mooharan II:5; 16\n\n רכד אורות — דרך\n \n Gematria\n\n 224 lights (רכ\"ד אורות) = the aspect of derech (דרך, \"the path\" = 224). [Cross-reference from Section 4.] The path is 224 lights.\n \n Likutay Mooharan II:87\n\n רמ\"ח — אברהם / מחקק\n \n Gematria (×2)\n\n 248 (רמ\"ח) = gematria of both Avraham (248) and mechokek (248). [Cross-references from Sections 1, 13.]\n \n Likutay Mooharan II:26; 72\n\n ר\"ע אותיות — כ\"ז אותיות\n \n Gematria\n\n 270 (ר\"ע) letters = the aspect of the 27 letters of the Hebrew alphabet — for there are 27 letters (22 + 5 final forms), each containing ten inner dimensions, totaling 270. [Cross-reference from Section 1.]\n \n Likutay Mooharan 38:2\n\n רע עין / סנפיר / ארבע מאות\n \n Gematria\n\n Ra ayin (רע עין, \"evil eye\" = 400) = gematria of 400 = gematria of snapir (סנפיר, \"fin\"). [Cross-references from Sections 1, 15.]\n \n Sichos HaRan 242\n\n רעב\n \n Tziroof\n\n Ra'av (רעב, \"hunger / famine\") — its letters are a permutation of ע׳ רב (ayin rav, \"seventy great ones\"). [Cross-reference from Rav Ayin above.]\n\n Gematria\n\n Ra'av = gematria of Havayah and Elokim each in their \"backwards\" (achorayim) progressive spelling — when the divine Names withdraw their \"face,\" hunger results. [Cross-reference from Section 5.]\n \n Sefer HaMidos \"Strife\" 2:5; Likutay Mooharan 62:5\n\n ר'עם ג'בורותיו מ'י י'תבונן — גרים\n \n Roshay Saveivos\n\n The first letters of \"the thunder of His mighty deeds — who can understand?\" spell גרים (gairim, \"converts\"). [Cross-reference from Section 3.]\n \n Likutay Mooharan II:8; 4\n\n ר'פאל ג'בריאל מ'יכאל נ'וריאל א'וריאל — ארגמן\n \n Roshay Saveivos\n\n The first letters of the five archangels — Rephael, Gavriel, Micha'el, Nuri'el, Uri'el — spell ארגמן (argaman, \"purple / crimson\"). [Cross-reference from Section 1.]\n \n Likutay Mooharan II:5; 12\n\n רצועה — ש\"ע נהורין\n \n Gematria\n\n Retzu'ah (רצועה, \"strap [of tefillin]\" = 370) = gematria of ש\"ע נהורין (\"370 lights\"). The strap of tefillin carries the 370 lights of the divine countenance — the physical binding of tefillin binds one to the 370 lights.\n \n Likutay Mooharan 35:9\n\n ר'שע מ'כתיר א'ת ה'צדיק — מראה\n \n Roshay Saveivos\n\n The first letters of \"the wicked surrounds the righteous\" [Habakkuk 1:4] spell מראה (mareh, \"vision / appearance\"). [Cross-reference from Section 13.]\n \n Likutay Mooharan II:5; 11\n\n ר'שעים ב'חשך י'דמו — רבי\n \n Roshay Saveivos\n\n The first letters of \"the wicked are silenced in darkness\" [1 Samuel 2:9] spell רבי (Rabbi). [Cross-reference from Rabbi above.] The master brings light that silences darkness.\n \n Likutay Mooharan 108\n\n [Translator's Summary — Section 20, Reish — 38 source entries fully covered]\n\n The Reish section is dominated by the Reish-Yud-Vov (216) cluster — the number that encodes Gevurah, the form of the Alef, the Name Adonai, and the inhabited world. The Rabbi as a permutation of riv (dispute) — the master transforms quarrels into Torah. The strap of tefillin carrying the 370 lights. Lamentations (kinos) as a permutation of tikkun (repair). And the spear (romach) as the spirit of Mem — the weapon of spiritual warfare is Torah."
