The daily Hayom Yom with Rabbi Yosef Katzman

Hayom Yom 22 Adar 2 - Birkas Kohanim - a manifestation of the Divine Intellect


Listen Later

בִּרְכַּת כֹּהֲנִים הוּא הַמְשָׁכַת הַמּוֹחִין

[Seen from a Kabbalistic perspective,] the Priestly Blessing elicits a manifestation of the Divine Intellect (mochin). 

הַגְבָּהַת הַיָּדַיִם הוּא הַעֲלָאַת הַמִּדּוֹת

The raising of hands [by the kohanim, in blessing,] elevates the Divine “emotive attributes” (middos). 

וּמְבָרְכִים לְיִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁהֵם בְּנֵי מְלָכִים מַלְכוּת

The kohanim bless the Jewish people, who are “the sons of kings" [and thereby reflect the Sefirah of] Malchus. 

הֲרֵי פַּרְצוּף שָׁלֵם שֶׁל עֶשֶׂר סְפִירוֹת

Collectively, this constitutes a complete partzuf, comprising all Ten Sefiros.
