Tikunim Chadashim - Tikun 46

"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. The Shechina's Strength in Exile — Renewed in an Instant

"The mighty hand" — this is the strength of the Shechina. For in exile She was weak. And at the time She goes out from exile — it is said of Her: "He gives power to the faint" [Yeshayahu 40:29] — to be strengthened in Her levels as is fitting. "The great awe" — the mystery: "make us glad according to the days You have afflicted us" [Tehillim 90:15]. For all the light that was diminished from Israel in exile — all will be revealed in a single instant — and this is "the great awe" truly.

II. The New Song — Mashiach's Spirit from Chochma-Chesed

At that time [Tehillim 98:1–3]: "a Mizmor — sing to Hashem a new song — for He has done wonders." Who said this Mizmor? — This is the Holy Spirit — the spirit that emerges from Chochma-Chesed [ChS] to rest upon Mashiach the King — he will say this Mizmor. And this: "sing to Hashem a new song" — this is the newness of all. And: "for He has done wonders" — from the side of ChS — the supernal wonder [Peleh]. "His right hand saved him and His holy arm" — this is right and left — the two Mashiachs.

III. The Shechina's Hidden Name in Exile — Calev's Silence

At that time: "Hashem has made known His salvation." What is the mystery? — The Shechina — the hidden Hei — is sealed in exile. For it is necessary so — because of the evil serpent who pursues Her. And the Spies spoke slander about the holy Land. What is "slander"? — This is wicked Lilit. For they said: "a land that devours its inhabitants" [Bamidbar 13:32] — because of the Sitra Achra that rules there — G-d forbid. And "there we saw the sons of the giants" — as if to show that this place was given to them there. But Calev — "and Calev silenced [vayahas] the people" [ibid. 30]. What is "silenced"? — The mystery: "I was dumbfounded with silence" [Tehillim 39:3] — this is the Shechina. For in exile She is "the silent dove" [ibid. 56:1] — this is the closed Peh — for so it must be. A rose that opens only to her partner. The mystery: "be silent, all flesh, before Hashem" [Zechariah 2:17]. For the Shechina is Adonai — and this is the palace — at the time She is a palace to the King. But at another time She is silent — and this is the silent dove. Therefore Calev silenced them — showing them this mystery truly — that the Shechina is the sealed mouth in exile — and no foreigner has permission to approach there truly. And in the time to come: "and you shall be open-mouthed to those who fawn upon you" — for She opens with many songs and praises to the King — and this is the New Song. Then: "Hashem has made known His salvation." For until now in exile She was dark truly — as it is written of Her: "do not look upon me because I am swarthy" [Shir HaShirim 1:6] — and Her call was not recognized among the guilty. Once She goes out: "Hashem has made known His salvation."

Then: "to the eyes of the nations He revealed His righteousness." The mystery: "for eye to eye they shall see" [Yeshayahu 52:8]. Come and see — now the supernal bond is prepared in hiddenness — because it is not fitting for the impure to gaze there. But at that time all will be established in a complete Tikun — and there is no fear from anything. Then: "He revealed His righteousness" truly. At that time: "He remembered His kindness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel." The mystery: "He remembered His kindness" — the Chesed of which it is said in exile: "He has turned back His right hand from before the enemy" [Eichah 2:3]. And all that Chesed that was diminished for them in exile — all will be returned to them at once at the redemption. Furthermore: "and His faithfulness" — the mystery: "those who sow in tears shall reap in joy" [Tehillim 126:5]. For in exile Israel sow many supernal Tikunim in that supernal field — and they are not revealed because of exile. Say not they are lost — G-d forbid — rather the Holy One guards them above. And all will sprout in the time to come and they will harvest them — as it is written: "for as the earth brings forth its growth and as a garden causes its seeds to grow" [Yeshayahu 61:11].

IV. All Synagogues and Study Halls Revealed — The Whole Earth His Salvation

At that time: "all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our G-d" [Tehillim 98:3]. Here is a supernal mystery — for how many synagogues and study halls exist outside the Land — where Israel prepared many supernal Tikunim. And of them it is said: "and he also shall remain to our G-d" [Zechariah 9:7] — as they established [Megillah 6a]. And what was at first — only the holy Land illuminated with supernal light — at the time of the redemption all Tikunim will be established in a complete revelation — and from there they will be revealed in those places where they were performed. And then the light of holiness will illuminate in them — even though they are outside — and through this the whole world will be established. Therefore: "all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our G-d" — revealed in every corner of the world — in the revelation of light that spread there as stated. Fortunate is the portion of Israel.
