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 הַמִּדּוֹתThe raising of hands [by the kohanim, in blessing,] elevates the Divine “emotive attributes” (middos). וּמְבָרְכִים לְיִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁהֵם בְּנֵי מְלָכִים מַלְכוּתThe kohanim bless the Jewish people, who are “the sons of kings" [and thereby reflect the Sefirah of] Malchus. הֲרֵי פַּרְצוּף שָׁלֵם שֶׁל עֶשֶׂר סְפִירוֹתCollectively, this constitutes a complete partzuf, comprising all Ten Sefiros.Text and Translation courtesy of Sichos in EnglishFor questions and follow-up: [email protected]
