Ze\u02bfer Anp\u00edn (ZA) on the Kabbalah: full study<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

1) Definition and etymology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ze\u02bfer Anp\u00edn<\/strong> (\u05d6\u05b5\u05e2\u05b5\u05d9\u05e8 \u05d0\u05b7\u05e0\u05b0\u05e4\u05b4\u05bc\u05d9\u05df, \u201cSmall Face\u201d or \u201cLittle countenance\u201d) is a partzuf<\/strong> (configuration, or \u201cface,\u201d divine), which integrates the six middot<\/strong> or sephiroth emotional: Chesed, Gevurah, Tif\u00e9ret, N\u00e9tsaj, Hod and Yesod<\/strong>. In the language zoh\u00e1rico is often identified with \u201cthe Holy one, blessed be he\u201d (Kudsh\u00e1 Brij H\u00fa)<\/strong> in connection with the Shechinah\/Nukv\u00e1<\/strong> (the Maljut<\/strong>). Your \u201csmallness\u201d does not imply inferiority, ontological, but function<\/strong>: it is the channel that translates and broadcasts<\/strong> the powers intelectivas superior to the manifestation and government of the world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Location on the map of the partzufim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In theosophy luri\u00e1nica<\/strong> (Ari), the divine reality in Atsilut<\/strong> it is organized as a big five partzufim:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Ar\u00edj Anp\u00edn<\/strong> (\u201cLong face\u201d) \u2014 K\u00e9ter (will\/super-mercy).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ab\u00e1<\/strong> \u2014 Jojm\u00e1 (intellect seminal).<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  • Ze\u02bfer Anp\u00edn<\/strong> \u2014 the six middot<\/strong> (emotions\/attributes).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Nukv\u00e1 \/ Maljut<\/strong> \u2014 the receptivity<\/strong> and expression<\/strong> in the lower worlds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    ZA<\/strong> it is the link<\/strong> between the intellects (Ab\u00e1 and Imm\u00e1) and the manifestation (Nukv\u00e1). In the symbolic of the Tetragrammaton (Y\u2013H\u2013V\u2013H)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Yod<\/strong> = Ab\u00e1<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Heh (1st)<\/strong> = Imm\u00e1<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Vav<\/strong> = Ze\u02bfer Anp\u00edn<\/strong> (your graphical form, \u201cvav\u201d = 6<\/strong>, alluding to the six middot<\/strong>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Final Heh<\/strong> = Nukv\u00e1\/Maljut<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n

      \u201cWho balances the love and rigour within itself, rises to Ze'er Anp\u00edn and restores the harmony of the world.\u201d<\/strong> \u2014 Isaac Luria (Ari), Etz Chaim<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

      3) classical Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Zohar<\/strong>: enter the \u201cfaces\u201d Ar\u00edj<\/strong> and Ze\u02bfer<\/strong>, and the drama te\u00e1ndrico between Kudsh\u00e1 Brij H\u00fa<\/strong> (ZA) and Shechinah<\/strong> (Nukv\u00e1).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Cordovero (Pard\u00e9s Rim\u00f3nim)<\/strong>: system sefirotico harmonizer; it prepares the ground conceptually to the notion of faces<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Chaim Vital collecting the Ari (Etz Chaim, Sha\u02bfar HaKavanot, Pri Etz Chaim)<\/strong>: develop dynamic<\/strong> of moj\u00edn (intellects)<\/strong>, katnut\/gadlut<\/strong> and yijudim<\/strong> between ZA and Nukv\u00e1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Rashash<\/strong> (Rabbi Shalom Sharabi): systematizes kavanot<\/strong> (intentions mystical) in the liturgy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        4) internal Structure of ZA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Components<\/strong>:\n
            \n
          • Six sefirot<\/strong> (Chesed... Yesod) as axes emotional<\/strong> and directional<\/strong> (the \u201csix points\u201d of the space).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Tif\u00e9ret<\/strong> as center for inclusive<\/strong> and face<\/strong> predominant (often typified by Iaacov\/Israel<\/strong>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Moj\u00edn (intellects) in ZA<\/strong>:\n
              \n
            • ZA receives<\/strong> moj\u00edn from Ab\u00e1\/Imm\u00e1<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Katnut<\/strong> (smallness): moj\u00edn reduced; predominance of constriction\/trial.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Gadlut<\/strong> (amplitude): moj\u00edn full; expansion of mercy and union.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Yesod<\/strong> in ZA:\n
                \n
              • It is the transmission channel<\/strong> to Nukv\u00e1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Function \u201cbridge\u201d<\/strong>: concentrated and imparts<\/strong> to Maljut received from the other middot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                \n

                \u201cThe six emotions of the soul are the six rivers flowing from the heart of god to the creation.\u201d<\/strong> \u2014 Rabbi Moshe Cordovero, Pard\u00e9s Rim\u00f3nim<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                5) ZA and Nukv\u00e1: the axis of the \u201cyijud\u201d (unification)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                The couple<\/strong> ZA\u2013Nukv\u00e1 is the heart of the drama te\u00fargico<\/strong> in the Kabbalah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Objective<\/strong>: join<\/strong> (yijud) Kudsh\u00e1 Brij H\u00fa<\/strong> (ZA) and Shechinah<\/strong> (Nukv\u00e1) for pour out a blessing<\/strong> in the worlds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Rupture and repair<\/strong>: after the shevirat ha-kelim<\/strong> (break of containers), Nukv\u00e1 can be \u201clowered\u201d or fragmented; the yijud<\/strong> repairs, lift sparks<\/strong> and channel abundance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Mode<\/strong>: the yijud required moj\u00edn of gadlut<\/strong> in ZA, and the elevation of Nukv\u00e1<\/strong> for both are to \u201cheight\u201d compatible (zivug in the plane of face-to-face).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  6) Ritmolog\u00eda: liturgical seasons and cosmic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  The liturgy<\/strong> structure and commute states of ZA:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  • Pesuk\u00e9 deZimr\u00e1<\/strong>: refinement of the emotions<\/em>raising Nukv\u00e1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Shema<\/strong> and its blessings: attraction of moj\u00edn<\/strong> ZA from Ab\u00e1\/Imm\u00e1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Amid\u00e1<\/strong>: yijud<\/strong> full-ZA\u2013Nukv\u00e1; pipe to the worlds.
                    Shabbat<\/strong>: ZA enters gadlut<\/strong> top; yijud<\/strong> more stable and bright.
                    Festivities<\/strong>: specific nuances of moj\u00edn<\/strong> (e.g., Sefirat ha'omer<\/strong> it works middot<\/strong> of ZA day-to-day).
                    Weekly cycle<\/strong>: the six days<\/strong> correspond to the six middot<\/strong> ZA; Shabbat<\/strong> (Maljut high) receives from ZA in a state of fullness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                    \n

                    \u201cThe world is sustained when the Face Less smiles; that is to say, when compassion overcomes the trial.\u201d<\/strong> \u2014 Zohar, II, 186b<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                    7) divine Names and gematr\u00edas associated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                    • Tetragrammaton in milu\u00ed MAH (45)<\/strong> associated with ZA<\/strong> (orientation chesed\/compassion<\/strong> balanced).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • The letter Vav<\/strong> (value of 6) is the graphic sign<\/strong> ZA and their \u201csix-way\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Various permutations<\/strong> and yijudim<\/strong> (according to Ari\/Rashash) expand or contract moj\u00edn<\/strong> and dinim<\/strong> (trials), \u201cendulz\u00e1ndolos\u201d in Chesed<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                      8) Symbolic anthropomorphic, ethics, and psychodynamic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      • The the language of \u201cfaces\u201d<\/strong> is metaphorical<\/strong> and operating<\/strong>: describes functions<\/strong> and relationships<\/strong> within the divine in Atsilut<\/strong>not \u201cparts\u201d of God in a physical sense.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Psychodynamic<\/strong>: ZA figure the emotional life<\/strong> human balanced by Tif\u00e9ret<\/strong> (truth\/beauty\/harmony). The work of ethics (mussar\/hasidut) press<\/strong> the middot and air-conditioning<\/strong> ZA to receive moj\u00edn<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Archetypes bible<\/strong>: Abraham<\/strong> (Chesed), Isaac<\/strong> (Gevurah), Iaacov<\/strong> (Tif\u00e9ret), Moses<\/strong> (N\u00e9tsaj), Aharon<\/strong> (Hod), Yosef<\/strong> (Yesod). ZA like Israel\/Jacob<\/strong> integrates and balances and transmitted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                        \n

                        \u201cZe'er Anp\u00edn is not small by default, but for containment: its greatness is hidden in the balance.\u201d<\/strong> \u2014 Rabbi Chaim Vital, Sha'ar haKavanot<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                        9) Cordoverianos vs. Luri\u00e1nicos (synthesis compared)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                          \n
                        • Cordovero<\/strong> emphasizes the harmony immanent<\/strong> of the sefirot and their ethics imitative<\/strong> (imitatio Dei).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Ari<\/strong> enter the mystical story<\/strong> (Tzimtzum\u2013Shevir\u00e1\u2013Tikun), with partzufim dynamic<\/strong> and cycles katnut\/gadlut<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • ZA, in Ari<\/strong>, is actor historic<\/strong>: grows<\/strong>, receives<\/strong>, joins<\/strong>, channels<\/strong> and repairs<\/strong> along with Nukv\u00e1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                          (10) Relationship with mitzvot, tefillin and practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                            \n
                          • Tefillin<\/strong>: in the mystical tradition, tefillin shel Rosh<\/strong> relates to ZA<\/strong> (moj\u00edn), and shel Yad<\/strong> with Nukv\u00e1\/Maljut<\/strong>; your order and kavanot symbolize the yijud<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • Berachot<\/strong> and Shema\/Amid\u00e1<\/strong> operate elevations<\/strong> and drops of light<\/strong> (itaruta deletata\/lela).<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                            \n

                            the yijudim technical<\/strong> the Ari\/Rashash and the kavanot<\/strong> detailed require guide<\/strong> of authorized teachers; they are not devotional practices general<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                            11) ZA in the mystical hasidic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                              \n
                            • In the literature hasidic<\/strong> (e.g., Tania<\/strong>), ZA is associated to the emotional expression<\/strong> of the divinity; the practical focus is on refine middot<\/strong> through contemplation of Ein Sof<\/strong> via Jojm\u00e1-Bin\u00e1 (da\u02bfat<\/strong> corporalizado in Tif\u00e9ret).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            • The love<\/strong> (Ahavah) and the fear<\/strong> (Go) \u2014Chesed\/Gevurah\u2014, refined, leading to the accession<\/strong> (devekut<\/strong>) where ZA receives<\/strong> mojin upper and unifies<\/strong> with the Shechinah through the actions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                              12) States of trial and sweetening (din\/mituj)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                                \n
                              • In katnut<\/strong>, ZA can be tilted to din<\/strong> (necking\/trial).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              • The system luri\u00e1nico prescribed mituj ha-dinim<\/strong> (sweetening) by attracting moj\u00edn of Chesed<\/strong> from Ab\u00e1\/Imm\u00e1 and organizing yijudim<\/strong> so that the flow descend<\/strong> correctly to Nukv\u00e1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              • Rosh Hashanah\u2013Yom Kippur<\/strong>: ZA passes by recalibrations intense moj\u00edn<\/strong> and dinim<\/strong>, culminating in Sukkot<\/strong> (Yesod\u2013Simj\u00e1\u2013pipe).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                                \n

                                \u201cIn the yijud of Ze'er Anp\u00edn and the Shechinah is reunited worlds and repaired the creation.\u201d<\/strong> \u2014 Rabbi Shalom Sharabi (Rashash)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                                • Space<\/strong>: the six addresses<\/strong> (up\/down, east\/west, north\/south) = six middot ZA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                • Time<\/strong>: six days<\/strong> of the week (Shabbat = Nukv\u00e1 high).<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                                  1. Literalism<\/strong>: \u201cfaces\u201d and \u201corgans\u201d are not anatomy divine; they are metaphors techniques<\/strong> to modulations of light<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  2. Dualism<\/strong>: ZA and Nukv\u00e1 are not \u201ctwo gods\u201d, but functional aspects<\/strong> the Single<\/strong> in his autorelaci\u00f3n<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Structure emotional life<\/strong> of the divine in Atsilut<\/strong>balances mercy and rigor<\/strong>, and channels<\/strong> blessing of the cosmos by yijud<\/strong> with the Shechinah. To understand it requires to maintain three levels at once: (a) theosophy<\/strong> (map of partzufim), (b) liturgical<\/strong> (rhythms and mojin), and (c) ethical-psychological<\/strong> (refinement middot). With this tripod, the study of ZA ceases to be a taxonomy and becomes practice of harmonisation<\/strong>: balance within (middot) to unify above (yijud) and channel down (shef\u00e1)<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
