Section 11 of 30 in Mishpatim — 9 segments

Segment 1א׳

רַעְיָא מְהֵימָנָא, עֶבֶד נְאֱמָן, לְגַבָּךְ עֶבֶד עִבְרִי, (דברים ט״ו:י״ד) הַעֲנֵק תַּעֲנִיק לוֹ. הַעֲנֵק לֵיהּ, תַּעֲנִיק לִבְנוֹי, בְּמִלִּין גְּנִיזִין אִלֵּין. (דברים ט״ו:י״ד) וּמִגָּרְנְךָ: גָּרְנָהּ שֶׁל תּוֹרָה דִּילָךְ. וּמִיִּקְבֶךָ, בְּגֹרֶן וְיֶקֶב קְרָא מְמַלֵּל, כְּמָה דְּאוּקְמוּהָ מָארֵי מַתְנִיתִין, בִּפְסוֹלֶת גֹרֶן וְיֶקֶב הַכָּתוּב מִדְבָּר.

Faithful Shepherd, faithful servant: with you is the Hebrew servant — “you shall furnish him liberally” (Deut. 15, 14). Furnish him, and furnish his sons liberally, with these hidden words. “And out of your threshing floor” (Ibid.): the threshing floor of the Torah is yours. “And out of your winepress” — of threshing floor and winepress Scripture speaks, as the sages of the Mishnah have explained: Scripture speaks of the refuse of threshing floor and winepress.

Segment 2ב׳

יֶקֶ"ב: (קי"ט ע"א, רס"ב ע"א) יִ"חוּד. קְ"דוּשָׁה. בְּ"רָכָה דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא. וְדָא שְׁכִינְתָּא, דְּאִיהִי בְּרָכָה, דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, מִימִינָא. וְאִיהִי קְדוּשָּׁה מִשּׂמָאלֵיהּ. וְאִיהִי יִחוּדֵיהּ, בְּאֶמְצָעִיתָא. וְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, הָכִי סַלְּקִין אַתְווֹי דִּילֵיהּ, יַבֹּ"ק. כְּגַוְונָא דָּא, הַקָדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא: בְּחֻשְׁבַּן יַבֹּ"ק.

Yekeb: Yihud (unification), Kedushah (holiness), Berachah (blessing) of the Holy One, blessed be He. And this is the Shekinah, who is the blessing of the Holy One, blessed be He, from His right; and she is holiness from His left; and she is His unification, in the middle. And the Holy One, blessed be He — thus do His letters ascend: Yabbok. In the same way, ha-Kadosh Baruch Hu is in the reckoning of Yabbok.

Segment 3ג׳

וּמַאן דְּאִיהוּ בָּקִ"י בַּהֲלָכָה דִּילֵיהּ, דְּאִיהִי שְׁכִינְתָּא, קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא עִמֵּיהּ. דִּבְגִינָהּ לָא יָזוּז מִנֵּיהּ לְעָלַם. דְּאִית הֲלָכָה דְּאִיהִי נַעֲרָה דִּילָהּ, מִסִּטְרָא דְּנַעַר, וּבְגִינָהּ אִתְּמַר הֲלָכָה כִּפְלוֹנִי. אֲבָל הֲלָכָה דִּילָךְ, רַעְיָא מְהֵימָנָא, אִיהִי דְּאִתְּמַר בָּהּ, הֲלָכָה לְמֹשֶׁה מִסִּינַי, מִפִּי הַגְּבוּרָה, יָהִיב לָךְ קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, בְּרָתָא דִּילֵיהּ.

And whoever is expert (baki) in his Halachah — who is the Shekinah — the Holy One, blessed be He, is with him; and for her sake He will never depart from him. For there is a Halachah that is her maiden, from the side of the lad, and for her sake it is said, “the Halachah is according to so-and-so.” But your Halachah, Faithful Shepherd, is the one of which it is said, “a Halachah given to Moses from Sinai”: from the mouth of the divine Might the Holy One, blessed be He, gave you His daughter.

Segment 4ד׳

וּבְגִין דָּא, עַל הֲלָכוֹת אַחֲרָנִין אִתְּמַר, (משלי ל״א:כ״ט) רַבּוֹת בָּנוֹת עָשׂוּ חָיִל. עַל הֲלָכָה דִּילָךְ אִתְּמַר, וְאַתְּ עָלִית עַל כֻּלָּנָה. דְּאִתְגַּבַּרְתּ עַל כֻּלְּהוּ, בִּגְבוּרָה. (שופטים ו׳:י״ב) יְיָ' עִמְּךָ גִּבּוֹר הֶחָיִל. אַתְקִין (ס"א אתתקפת) בָּךְ, וְאַשְׁלִים בִּנְיָינָא דְּמַלְכָּא, וְאִיהוּ בָּנֵי בִּנְיָינֵיהּ עַל פּוּמָךְ, וְעַל יְדָךְ, זַכָּאָה חוּלָקָךְ.

And therefore of the other halachoth it is said, “Many daughters have done valiantly” (Prov. 31, 29); of your Halachah it is said, “but you excel them all.” For you prevailed over them all, in might: “The Lord is with you, mighty man of valour” (Judges 6, 12). He set all in order through you, and completed the building of the King; and He builds His building by your mouth and by your hand. Happy is your portion.

Segment 5ה׳

פָּתַח רַעְיָא מְהֵימָנָא וְאָמַר, (בראשית מ״ח:ט״ז) הַמַּלְאָךְ הַגּוֹאֵל אוֹתִי מִכָּל רָע, דְּאִיהִי שְׁכִינְתָּא, דְּאִתְּמַר בָּהּ, (שמות י״ד:י״ט) וַיִּסַּע מַלְאַךְ הָאֱלֹהִים. יְבָרֵךְ לְכוּ בְּעָלְמָא דְּאָתֵי. וְיִדְגּוּ לָרֹב בְּקֶרֶב הָאָרֶץ, בְּעָלְמָא דֵּין. לְמֶהֱוֵי שֻׁלְטָנוּתֵכוֹן בִּתְרֵין עָלְמִין, דְּאַתּוּן חַיִּין. דְּמַאן דְּאִיהוּ מֵעָלְמָא דָּא, חַי אִתְקְרֵי. כְּמָה דִּכְתִּיב, (משלי ג׳:י״ח) עֵץ חַיִּים הִיא לַמַּחֲזִיקִים בָּהּ. חַיִּים תַּמָּן, חַיִּים הָכָא.

The Faithful Shepherd discoursed on the verse: “The angel who redeems me from all evil” (Gen. 48, 16) — this is the Shekinah, of whom it is said, “And the angel of God moved” (Ex. 14, 19). May He bless you in the world to come; “and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth” — in this world; that your dominion may be in the two worlds, for you are living. For whoever is of this world is called living, as it is written, “She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her” (Prov. 3, 18): life there, life here.
