Segment 1א׳

וְרָזָא (ק"ס ע"ב) דִּשְׁמַע, שֵׁם דְּסָלִיק לְע' שְׁמָהָן, וְדָא כְּלָלָא חֲדָא. יִשְׂרָאֵל: יִשְׂרָאֵל סָבָא, בְּגִין דְּאִית (מ"ג ע"א) זוּטָא, דִּכְתִּיב (הושע י״א:א׳) נַעַר יִשְׂרָאֵל וָאֹהֲבֵהוּ. וְדָא אִיהוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל סָבָא, רָזָא חֲדָא בִּכְלָלָא חֲדָא. שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל, הָכָא אִתְכְּלִילַת אִתְּתָא בְּבַעְלָהּ.

The term SH e M a’ (hear) is esoterically analysed into SH e M (name) and the letter ‘Ain (= 70), that is, one Name comprising seventy names whilst remaining a unity. “Israel” here signifies “Ancient Israel”, in contrast to “Little Israel”, of whom it is written: “When Israel was a child, then I loved him” (Hos. 11, 1). “Ancient Israel” symbolizes the union of the Shekinah with her Spouse, and in pronouncing that name we have to concentrate our mind on the principle of unity, on the union of the two habitations;

Segment 2ב׳

וּלְבָתַר דְּאִתְכְּלִילוּ דָּא בְּדָא בִּכְלָלָא חֲדָא, כְּדֵין אִצְטְרִיכוּ לְיַיחֲדָא שַׁיְיפִין, וּלְחַבְרָא תְּרֵין מַשְׁכְּנִין כַּחֲדָא, בְּכֻלְּהוּ שַׁיְיפִין, בִּרְעוּ דְּלִבָּא, לְאִסְתַּלְּקָא בִּדְבֵקוּתָא דְּאֵין סוֹף, לְאִתְדַּבְּקָא כֹּלָּא תַּמָּן, לְמֶהֱוֵי רְעוּתָא חֲדָא עִלָּאֵי וְתַתָּאֵי.

we have to put all our being, all the members of our body, our complete devotion, into that thought so as to rise and attach ourselves to the En-sof (Infinite), and thus achieve the oneness of the upper and the lower worlds.

Segment 3ג׳

וְרָזָא דָּא יִהְיֶה, כְּמָה דְאַתְּ אָמֵר (זכריה יד) יִהְיֶה יְיָ' אֶחָד, בְּרָזָא דְּיִהְיֶה. י', לְיַחֲדָא וּלְאִתְדַּבְּקָא בה', דְּאִיהוּ הֵיכָלָא פְּנִימָאָה, לְאֲתָר (נ"א אתר) גְּנִיזוּ דְּהַאי נְקוּדָה עִלָּאָה, דְּאִיהִי י'. וְדָא אִיהוּ רָזָא יְדוָֹ"ד אֱלהֵינוּ. אִלֵּין תְּרֵין אַתְוָון (נ"א שמהן) דְּאִינּוּן יָ"ה.

The words, “the Lord our God” are to reunite all the Members to the place from which they issued, which is the innermost Sanctuary.
