Tikunim Chadashim - Tikun 34

"And for all the mighty hand and for all the great awe which Moshe did before the eyes of all Israel." [Devarim 34:12]

I. Pilpul and Bekius — Strength and Mastery of Torah

"The mighty hand" — this is the strength of Torah — its dialectical analysis [pilpul]. "The great awe" — this is mastery [bekius] — the chamor [donkey/burden-carrier] of Torah. In it: "Yissachar is a strong-boned donkey" [Bereishis 49:14] — and this is Sinai — which encompasses all. "All need the owner of wheat" [Horios 14a — i.e., knowledge without dialectics needs the one who carries the tradition]. And so MaBY needs to take power from MaBD — and in it: "a poor man riding on a donkey" [Zechariah 9:9]. But from the side of MaBY: "the firstborn of his ox — majesty is his" [Devarim 33:17].

And this is the oker harim [uprooter of mountains] — those haughty mountains from the Other Side — that one must uproot and grind until what is worthy comes out of them. And there is "a great and strong wind that splits the mountains" [Melachim I 19:11] — of which it is said: "not through the wind of Hashem" — for it splits mountains that are holy mountains. Therefore here mefarek [splits] is written — not oker [uproots]. But here — oker harim — for here one must uproot them from the holy side that wishes to be united with it.

Of them it is written: "for the mountains shall depart and the hills shall be removed" [Yeshayahu 54:10]. Then: "but My kindness shall not depart from you." For at another time: "He has drawn back His right hand from before the enemy" [Eichah 2:3]. But now: "My kindness shall not depart from you." And the Tzaddik — of whom it is said: "the righteous one is gathered in from before the evil" [Yeshayahu 57:1] — now: "My covenant of peace shall not be removed." Therefore for MaBY this is fitting — to restore this covenant of peace to its place.
