328) Rabbi Shimon struck his hands against each other. He wept and said, “Woe if I say and disclose a secret, woe if I do not say and the friends lose that thing.” It is written, “Aha, Lord God, You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end.” What is “Aha”? And what is “You bring … a complete end”? When the bottom Hey de HaVaYaH, Malchut, is expelled from the king’s palace, the first Hey de HaVaYaH, Bina, denies her blessings because of her. Then it is written, “Aha … You bring … a complete end.”
The flaw comes in two letters Hey de HaVaYaH, in Bina and in Malchut. When the bottom Hey avoids receiving blessings, the first Hey denies the blessings from everyone, not bestowing upon ZA, too, since there are blessings only where there are male and female. And because Malchut is expelled from ZA, there are no blessings in ZA, too, as he is without a Nukva.
329) This is why it is written, “The Lord will roar from on high, and from His holy abode He gives His voice, He will roar mightily against His dwelling place,” truly “Against His dwelling place,” which is the queen, who is absent. He roars indeed, and says, “Woe, for I have destroyed My home. “My home” is the Zivug with the queen. This is indeed, “Do not uncover the nakedness of your father and the nakedness of your mother,” for it is nakedness on all sides, a flaw.
When your mother, Malchut, was separated because of the iniquity of the lower ones, the lights depart from ZA, too, and ZA, your father, is also flawed. At that time it is written, “I clothe the heaven with blackness, and make sackcloth their covering.” ZA is called “heaven.” The place of the lot of the blessings of the fountains of the streams, which are in Bina, which were flowing and watering ZA properly, have been denied and have departed.
330) When the king parts from the queen and blessings are absent, ZA is called “woe,” meaning “woe to me.” Yesod is a small Vav. The Rosh de Yesod is Yod. The Creator, ZA, is a high, big Vav. This is why it is written Vav–Vav, two Vavs together, indicating ZA and Yesod. And the Rosh of that Yesod is Yod.
When the queen moves away from the king, ZA, the blessings are denied from him, and there is no Zivug at the Rosh of Yesod, the upper Vav, ZA, takes the Rosh of Yesod, which is Yod, and draws it to it, creating the combination Vav–Yod [woe], woe to the upper and the lower. Since the lower ones do not receive, the upper ones are not permitted to bestow upon them.
331) Since the day when the Temple was ruined, there are no blessings in the world, and there is no day without curses in it. It is so because the blessings that should come each day are denied and become curses.
332) If it is written “Woe” or “alas” or “ah” what do they mean? When the matter depends on repentance and they do not repent, the first Hey de HaVaYaH, Bina, takes them and draws the Vav and Yod to her because they do not repent. This creates the combination Hey–Vav–Yod [alas], and then it is called “alas.” “Alas” is when the king, ZA, departed up above, to Bina. And people shout and he does not notice them.
Sometimes that upper one, the hidden name EKYEH, which is Keter, raises the Vav to it, ZA, and the Yod, the Rosh of Yesod, since his prayer was not accepted, creating the combination Aleph–Vav–Yod [woe]. Then it is read “woe” because Aleph, which is EKYEH, raised Vav Yod to her, and then repentance is not found. This is why the letter Hey departed from these letters because it is no longer hanging on repentance, which is Bina, called Hey.
333) When the iniquities of the world multiply, in the beginning repentance was hanging but they did not want to repent, so the letter Hey departed, meaning Bina, repentance, and the letter Aleph, Keter, raised the letters Vav Yod to him, and it is read as “woe.” And when the Temple was ruined and repentance departed, they shouted and said, “Woe to us, for the day declines, for the shadows of the evening lengthen.” “For the day declines” means the upper day, Bina, repentance, who has departed and gone, and is not present. It is that day when He stretches out His right hand to welcome wicked ones. And He has turned away from everything and He is not present. This is why they said, “Woe,” and not Hoy [Hey–Vav–Yod]. “For the shadows of the evening lengthen” means that the ministers appointed over the rest of the nations have been given permission to rule over Israel.
334) Vav, ZA, went up to Keter, which is Aleph, and the palace was burned and the people exiled. The queen has been expelled and the house was ruined. Afterward, when Vav returned to her place, He noticed the house and it was ruined. He sought the queen but she had drifted away and went. He saw His palace burnt; He sought the people, but they were exiled. He saw the blessings of the deep streams that extended from Bina, and they were denied. Then it is written, “And in that day did the Lord, the God of hosts, call to weeping, and to lamentation, and to baldness, and to wearing sackcloth.” And then, “I clothe the heaven,” ZA, “with blackness.”
335) At that time, Vav Yod were drawn one opposite the other. The Yod, the Rosh of Yesod, was drawn to the Vav, ZA, and parted from Malchut. The first Hey of HaVaYaH, Bina, poured streams to the Sitra Achra, and blessings were not found because there were no male and female, ZA and Malchut, and they are not dwelling together. Then “He will roar mightily against His dwelling place,” Malchut.
