B"SD L'Shem L'Shav A"V

B"SD L'Shem L'Shav A"V
Master of the Universe, the Omnipotent One, in the merit of the month of Elul, and in the merit of the holy and awesome day, which is the greatest day of the entire year—the 24th of Elul. On this day, Hashem emanated the Kesser (Crown), Chochmah (Wisdom), Binah (Understanding), and Daas (Knowledge) of the Divine Name of M"H (the Name of Havayah spelled out with Alephs: Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh).
Leah receives all three Alephs. From the first Aleph, the Daas of Leah is formed. From the second Aleph, the Tiferes (Beauty) of Leah is formed.
And from the third Aleph, the Yesod (Foundation) of Leah of the Name of M"H (Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh) is formed. For Leah and Chavah are the "milui" (spelled-out expansion) of Adam HaRishon (the First Man), in the secret of the number 19, which is the gematria (numerical value) of Chavah.
Her complete Nesirah (spiritual separation and maturation) will take place at the conclusion of the 29th of Elul, the night of Rosh Hashanah. The value 861 is the gematria of Mattisyahu (861), because on every Rosh Hashanah, the soul of Mattisyahu is emanated anew.
This soul impregnates (through ibur, spiritual gestation) each and every person who merits to come to the true tzaddik on Rosh Hashanah and be included in the holy gathering on Rosh Hashanah. This gathering is composed of all the parts of the tzaddik's soul, which impregnate all those who crowd together in the holy gathering on Rosh Hashanah. This is in the aspect of "they stand crowded together, yet bow down with wide spaces." The Bartenura explains that the Jewish people receive the power to float in the air, similar to Avishai, Asahel, and Yoav, the sons of Tzeruyah, the daughter of Nachash. As the Rema of Fano explains in Gilgulei Neshamos (Reincarnations of Souls) in the discourse on the sons of Tzeruyah, they were all born from the rock and the boulder without any blemish whatsoever. This was the wonder of Sarah: "After I have withered, shall I again have delicate skin? Shall Sarah, a woman of ninety, give birth?" Avraham also said the exact same words: "Shall a child be born to a man of a hundred years? And shall Sarah, a woman of ninety, give birth?" Yet Hashem said nothing to Avraham, only to Sarah. This is because Sarah's entire complaint was: Why is Hashem returning her to the age of 12 ("After I have withered, shall I again have delicate skin"), rather than granting her the miracle of giving birth at the age of 90? Meanwhile, He left Avraham exactly as he was, at the age of 100. The answer is that Avraham had already reached such a level of deveikus (cleaving to Hashem) that he could not descend from his spiritual level even a hairsbreadth. If he were to descend from his level even a hairsbreadth, he would die, Heaven forbid. Regarding this, Moshe Rabbeinu said, "And if not, please kill me now." Meaning, if You want to lower me from my spiritual level and have me start distributing meat to them, it is better that You kill me right now. Similarly, with Avraham, there was absolutely no possibility of lowering him from his level even a hairsbreadth, even for a single second.
Please, Hashem, grant me the merit in the month of Elul, just like Avraham and Moshe, to achieve such deveikus that I will never again be able to descend from my spiritual level, not even for a single second.

B"SD L'Shem L'Shav
Master of the Universe, the Omnipotent One, from whom no purpose can be withheld. In the merit of the two awesome days: the 24th of Elul, on which You emanated the point within its palace, the point within the letter Beis (בּ),
which includes the secret of the Kesser (Crown), Chochmah (Wisdom), Binah (Understanding), and Daas (Knowledge) of the Name of M"H.
And in the merit of the awesome day of the 25th of Elul, when You separated and emanated the letter Beis, the Sefirah of Binah of the Name of M"H, from the Sefirah of Chochmah of the Name of M"H. Through this, the Sefiros of Chesed (Loving-kindness), Gevurah (Severity), Tiferes (Beauty), Netzach (Victory), Hod (Splendor), Yesod (Foundation), and Malchus (Kingship) were emanated from it. These are the Six Days of Creation that were emanated from the Ohr Ein Sof (Infinite Light).
Then Moshe said, "Sun, stand still in Cheshbon, and moon, in the high places of Arnon."
This was after he nullified the spiritual nourishment (yenikah) of Sichon from the left heel of Leah. This is the secret of Rachel taking the teraphim (idols) from Lavan, through which Lavan could no longer draw spiritual sustenance from the left heel of Leah and succeed in his sorcery.
Also in Tishrei, Moshe said, "Sun, stand still in Bashan."
Then he nullified the spiritual nourishment of Og, following the dancing of Simchas Torah, from the right heel of Leah.
Through this, the two heels of Leah entered into the Kesser (Crown) of Rachel, which is the secret of the building of the Beis HaMikdash (Holy Temple).
This is what Balak and Bilaam saw—that Moshe was about to enter the Land of Israel and build the Beis HaMikdash. Bilaam said, "Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it." Meaning, I cannot reverse it and extract the heel of Leah from the Kesser of Rachel.
Then Balak and Bilaam took counsel together to bury a barrel of snakes at the site of the Altar, 1,500 amos (cubits) deep.
And when David extracted the barrel from the site of the Altar before the eyes of the Jebusites,
the Jebusites gathered for an urgent assembly to decide what to do after David had removed the barrel of snakes. Then Aravnah, their king, advised them that after his death, they should cut off his head and bury his skull at the site of the Altar.
And even though the Rambam writes in the Laws of the Primary Sources of Impurity (1:13-14) that the skull of a gentile only defiles through contact and carrying, but not through overshadowing (ohel), nevertheless, the impurity of Aravnah the Jebusite hindered the acceptance of the sacrifices for about two hundred years, until Chizkiyahu discovered it (Tosafos, Sanhedrin 12a).

And even though the Rambam writes in the Laws of the Primary Sources of Impurity (1:13-14) that the skull of a gentile only defiles through contact and carrying, but not through overshadowing (ohel), nevertheless, the impurity of Aravnah the Jebusite hindered the acceptance of the sacrifices for about two hundred years, until Chizkiyahu discovered it (Tosafos, Sanhedrin 12a).
B"SD L'Shem L'Shav
Master of the Universe, the Omnipotent One, from whom no purpose can be withheld. In the merit of the two awesome days: the 24th of Elul, on which You emanated the point within its palace, the point within the letter Beis (בּ),
which includes the secret of the Kesser (Crown), Chochmah (Wisdom), Binah (Understanding), and Daas (Knowledge) of the Name of M"H.
And in the merit of the awesome day of the 25th of Elul, when You separated and emanated the letter Beis, the Sefirah of Binah of the Name of M"H, from the Sefirah of Chochmah of the Name of M"H. Through this, the Sefiros of Chesed (Loving-kindness), Gevurah (Severity), Tiferes (Beauty), Netzach (Victory), Hod (Splendor), Yesod (Foundation), and Malchus (Kingship) were emanated from it. These are the Six Days of Creation that were emanated from the Ohr Ein Sof (Infinite Light).
Then Moshe said, "Sun, stand still in Cheshbon, and moon, in the high places of Arnon."
This was after he nullified the spiritual nourishment (yenikah) of Sichon from the left heel of Leah. This is the secret of Rachel taking the teraphim (idols) from Lavan, through which Lavan could no longer draw spiritual sustenance from the left heel of Leah and succeed in his sorcery.
Also in Tishrei, Moshe said, "Sun, stand still in Bashan."
Then he nullified the spiritual nourishment of Og, following the dancing of Simchas Torah, from the right heel of Leah.
Through this, the two heels of Leah entered into the Kesser (Crown) of Rachel, which is the secret of the building of the Beis HaMikdash (Holy Temple).
This is what Balak and Bilaam saw—that Moshe was about to enter the Land of Israel and build the Beis HaMikdash. Bilaam said, "Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it." Meaning, I cannot reverse it and extract the heel of Leah from the Kesser of Rachel.
Then Balak and Bilaam took counsel together to bury a barrel of snakes at the site of the Altar, 1,500 amos (cubits) deep.
And when David extracted the barrel from the site of the Altar before the eyes of the Jebusites,
the Jebusites gathered for an urgent assembly to decide what to do after David had removed the barrel of snakes. Then Aravnah, their king, advised them that after his death, they should cut off his head and bury his skull at the site of the Altar.
